I am sharing with you the flyer for the YMWIC Pre-College Scholarship Program flyer for the 2024-2025 academic year. This program is designed specifically for students in grades 3rd to 12th, offering an invaluable opportunity to prepare them for their future education.

We have also included information about their Pre-Apprenticeship Program, tailored for young adults aged 18-25 with a high school diploma or GED. This program provides a solid foundation for those looking to enter the workforce with practical skills and hands-on experience.

Below you will see the directions on how to drop off students and pick up students from the Intermediate High School. In addition, we have added a short video to assist with this procedure.

This year, all 8th and 9th grade students that are getting dropped off have to enter from Foundry Road (Red Raider Road). You will not be permitted to enter from the front entrance at CASH.

Students can start to enter the building at 7:05 a.m. They can enter at the Main Entrance and Auditorium Entrance. All students must be in First Period by 7:15 a.m.

Students will be dismissed at 2:10 p.m. and they will board their buses. If picking up students , please drive safely.

As always the first two weeks of school there will be timing issues with buses as everything gets situated, please be considerate as we work on getting the students onto the buses as they maybe running a little late. I promise you that it will get quicker as we move forward.

• Vape Detectors have been added to all bathrooms.
• All doors are now alarmed.
• Students must enter and exit using the front stairs by the attendance office (even during transitions between CAIHS and CASH).

• For students who have broken or lost chromebooks we will lend you a chromebook until yours can be replaced.
• 9th grade students- will continue to use your current chromebook and when the new chromebooks come in you will turn in your old chromebook and receive a new one.

Menus will be posted on the food service website towards the end of the month. Please join us for breakfast and lunch as we welcome you back on August 26th!

Regular school attendance is imperative for success in school. If your child is absent from school, please email the reason for the excuse that includes the date and purpose of the absence. You can email these to our attendance office at CAIHSAttendance Students can also bring notes down to the attendance window located in the main office. Please see the attendance requirements for all students below.

• If a student misses 18 days of school and/or 9 days in a semester, and/or misses the same class 18 times, and/or is habitually late to school, he/she will be required to have a School Attendance Improvement Plan (SAIP) meeting. From the meeting, the team will discuss the student’s attendance and make a potential recommendation for retention or being held back.

• In order to receive credit, a student must attend 90% of his/her class days.

• If a student misses more than 10 lawful or unlawful absences, requires an excuse from a licensed practitioner of the healing arts or medical doctor.
