CB West High School

At Central Bucks, our mission is to equip every student, regardless of ability or need, with academic and problem-solving skills essential for personal growth, responsible citizenship and continuous learning. A crucial aspect of fulfilling this mission is to provide an inclusive environment for all students, including students with disabilities. In recent years, the district has been working to create a continuum of special education services and programs in all schools to ensure students with disabilities can be educated in their home schools and alongside their peers, to the maximum extent possible, rather than transported to schools or locations outside their home school.

During the 2024-2025 school year, CBSD invites students to draw inspiration from CBSD's "Portrait of a Graduate" to create an original design to display on the lock screens of district laptops and ClearTouch panels. The winning artwork will be featured on CBSD screens each month for all students, faculty and staff to see! Submissions for the first round of the competition are due today, Sept. 20. The winning student artist will also receive a prize. Students can submit their designs based on each month's Portrait of a Graduate theme. More details and how to submit.

Today, September 20th, the 2024 Keystone Individual Student Report (ISR) will be sent home in a sealed envelope.

If your child receives a blank report, that is an indication that they did not take the assessment. Additionally, you will not receive a report if your child was not a student in Central Bucks during the 2023-2024 school year.

If you have any questions about this information, please feel free to reach out to me. We value your continuous support of your child's learning.

Please read attached letter regarding good sportsmanship. This letter was also emailed to the community on Thursday, 9/19.

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.

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 !
