CB West High School

CBSD recently launched a new webpage, "Making Practices Public," where community members can find one-stop access to important resources concerning operational processes; major initiatives; family supports; and more. The page currently includes information related to on-campus speech and expression; communications structures; administrative areas of responsibility; supporting children at home during times of difficulty; and grade realignment. The page will be updated with new resources as they become available, so families are encouraged to check back often.

It has been a great start to the school year with our student device distribution! All students will receive or continue using their assigned device. Before receiving a device, families in grades 3-6, 7, and 10, as well as new students, must complete the online user agreement and pay the usage fee. The elementary student fee is $15/year, while the fee for students in grades 7 and 10 is $60, which covers three years. Prorated fees apply for new secondary students.

If you need financial assistance, please visit our website for details. Thank you for your cooperation. Next steps here: https://www.cbsd.org/1to1fee

The ASVAB will be given at West on Wednesday November 20, 2024. The ASVAB (Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery) is a multi-aptitude battery that measures developed abilities and helps predict future academic and occupational success in the military. In addition, the ASVAB is offered to high school students as part of the ASVAB Career Exploration program. The ASVAB subtests measure aptitudes in four domains – Verbal, Math, Science and Technology, and Spatial. If interested see your school counselor for a permission form and more information. Permission forms must be returned by the deadline of Monday November 18th.

CB WEST HARLEQUIN CLUB is proud to feature TWO mainstage productions this fall:

THE GREATEST GENERATION: October 17 (at 7 pm), 19 (at 7 pm) and 20 (at 2 pm) Memorializing the generation that lived through the 1930s and 40s, this show takes you on a journey through the era featuring two one act plays: Thorton Wilder's nostalgic The Happy Journey to Trenton and Camden about a family road trip in 1931 punctuated with laughter and sadness and Don Zolidas' Badger -a drama exploring the relationships and challenges facing female workers in a munitions factory during WW2. The one act plays are sandwiched between iconic songs and dance from the era like "Stormy Weather" and "In the Mood"

ALICE BY HEART: NOVEMBER 21, 22, 23 (at 7 pm) and 24 (at 2 pm)

New Musical: A powerful coming of age love story set simultaneously against the backdrop of the London Blitz in WW2 and Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. With moving projections and film footage, haunting music and movement and an unforgettable love story-it will be a show not to be missed. We expect Alice by Heart tickets to be available first week in October.

Laptop Breakage

We have seen a rise in the amount of screen breaks for student laptops. Our policy covers for 2 broken screens per device. If your child’s laptop screen breaks 3 times, we will be required to send you an invoice for the repair and labor. The current cost for this is $150. Please remind your child to care for their laptops. Some simple steps to assist are:

• Use two hands when holding or moving the device.
• Use clean hands while using the laptop or iPad.
• Use only the provided digital pen or finger on the screen.
• Use only the power adapter that came with the device.
• Use a microfiber cloth to clean the screen.
• Keep device stored in the provided case. This includes traveling through the hallways, on buses, or anytime the device is not being utilized.
• Make sure nothing is on the keyboard, close the lid, and remove all cables if any are plugged into the laptop. Place laptop in your bag carefully.
• Be careful when placing your case on the floor. Keep the device off the floor so screens do not get stepped on by others.

Our goal each day is make sure that all students, faculty, buses, and drivers exit our school campus safely. To ensure that safety, we are requesting that you please reinforce safe driving habits with your student driver. There have been several vehicle accidents that may have been prevented through safer driving practices.

• Drivers should maintain a speed of 15 MPH or less while driving on MacFarlane and in the school zone area.
• Drivers are to stop for pedestrians entering the crossing areas.
• Drivers are not to change lanes on MacFarlane
• Drivers should not be using electronic devices while driving.
• Drivers/Students should not be yelling from one vehicle to the next or getting out of one vehicle to get in another.
• Please try to limit the number of passengers in the car with your student. This will assist in being more attentive while driving.

Thank you for your assistance !
