CIS Weekly Updates

We have two weeks left in the first quarter. The quarter officially ends on Friday, October 25th. We encourage students to finish strong by working hard to complete all assignments. This year, we will not send paper reports home to all students. If you would like to request a paper copy of the report card, please contact our main office. This change is consistent with the rest of the school district.

Next week, we will have a Red Ribbon spirit week. Our spirit week is a fun way to bring awareness to living a drug-free lifestyle. You can see each day's theme down below. The week will end with our character dress-up day on Friday. We ask that students not bring masks, accessories or apply face paint. We also ask that students not wear inflatable costumes. Thank you for your understanding.

WE NEED YOUR HELP! We are currently having a design contest for our CIS t-shirt. Students are invited to submit their designs, and once we select a design, we will be ordering shirts for all students and staff. Each student will need to know their shirt size. If you could talk to your student about the appropriate size and have him/her record it in their student planner then that would be a big help. *Shirts tend to be slightly smaller than expected. We recommend you choose YL, YXL, AS, AM, AL, AXL, or AXXL.

Have an AMAZING Week!

Brandon Cobb, Principal

Wednesday, October 16th is UNITY DAY. We encourage your child to wear orange as we encourage kindness, acceptance, and inclusion and build community at C.I.S

Red Ribbon Week will take place October 21-25. This year’s theme is: Life Is A Movie, Film Drug Free. At school, students will engage in activities that promote a drug free and healthy lifestyle. Please

partner with us and discuss this message at home, at the dinner table, at family outings, and with friends and extended family. Please see the Red Ribbon Week themes below.

The Wadsworth Public Library partnering with the Wadsworth City School District to provide a monthly book club for fifth and sixth graders.

Participating students will meet monthly with a member of the Library’s Children’s, Youth and Outreach Services department to discuss the title selected. The Library staff will reserve the book discussion titles using the library card number that you provide. Books will be delivered to the students at school and books can be returned the day the club meets for discussion.

• Please be aware that the discussion books will be reserved and checked out onto the card number you provide by Library staff.

• Cardholders are responsible for any fees associated with any damaged or lost books.

• If your child is not able to attend a meeting, please return their book discussion book to their school or to Wadsworth Public Library as soon as possible.

• Books will be selected by Library staff and will vary in degrees of difficulty.

• Library staff will renew items not returned at the meeting one time, but please contact the Library if you think you have lost the book, already returned it or have any other questions about the Library materials.

Our attendance clerk, Mrs. Long, is the contact person for calling off your student and any change of dismissal plans throughout the day. Please call the Attendance Line to reach her and leave a message. The phone number to her desk is 330-335-1481. We recommend you let the attendance desk/teacher know when your student will be absent, leaving early, or arriving late. Letting us know when your child will leave early allows us to be prepared for when you arrive. We ask that all end-of-the-day dismissal plans be made by 2:45 p.m. Thank you for your efforts!

**REMINDER- Mr. Cobb must approve all vacations AHEAD OF TIME. Please send him an email requesting excused absences. bcobb@wadsworthschools.org
