2022-2023 Eagle Extra
Clear Lake Intermediate - February 19, 2023
MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Dear Eagle Families,
Our CLI Teachers were hard at work across our district today as they attended specialized professional learning opportunities within their content areas throughout the day today. It is always good to spend time "sharpening your tools" in your profession, and today was definitely a day for that for all CCISD staff members!
As we are very close to March starting up, this means our 3rd 9 weeks is quickly coming to an end. This is a great time to mention our weekly Homework Haven days and times. If your student needs a little extra help, every Monday and Wednesday from 4:05-5:05 in the library is where he/she can go to receive additional support. Please encourage your child to stay on top of their grades and utilize Homework Haven as needed.
Please peruse the rest of our newsletter to stay up with our week’s activities and updated information for the week.
-Mr. Kimble

- APPEAL FORM
EAGLE MONTHLY INCENTIVES PROGRAM
The Eagle Monthly Incentive is separate from the Eagle Yearly Incentive Program. Each month, Eagles that take care of their Academic, Attendance, and Behavioral Responsibilities within that month will receive a small incentive. For the Monthly Incentive Program, ALL Eagles that meet the following requirements will receive the monthly incentive reward.
- Must be passing on the most recent grading period within the month only (Academic Responsibility),
- Must not have received ISS, or greater, within the month only (Behavioral Responsibility),
- Must have 2 or less total absences within the month (Attendance Responsibility).
EAGLE EXPECTATIONS WHILE AT NIGHT EVENTS
We encourage all Eagles to attend and support our Eagle Teams by attending as many events as possible to root them on. (We also encourage our parents to attend with them as well.) If you send your Eagle by themselves to CLI Athletic Games this is acceptable, however, we do have expectations to ensure that our events remain safe for all. Please note the following:
- Students must meet the requirements to attend the event,
- Students attending independently must have their badge to get into the event,
- Students are expected to follow all campus and district rules,
- Students are not able to leave and then re-enter,
- Students will be given 1 warning for any behavior not aligned with campus and district expectations. On the 2nd offense, the student will be expected to be picked up by their parent immediately.
School Safety
School safety is our (both home and school) most important jobs within our school. Our district has taken additional precautions for this school year, to which you can review on our district's website (www.ccisd.net). Specifically at CLI, please help support the safety of our campus by adhering to the following:
- It is imperative that you talk to your student every day before and after school. Ask your student what parts of the day they liked the most and what parts of the day did they not like. Although some of our students, at this age, act like they do not 'appreciate' their parents asking a lot of questions, they really do. And, as parents, it is still our responsibility to do so, pushing through the urge to let them opt out of conversations with their parents. How does this help with safety you ask? Staying connected with our children (with open communication being the norm) is an incredible safety support!
- Students will not be able to come in our school building until 8:15 a.m. Please do not allow your student to come onto campus until 8:15 a.m. We do not have adult supervision before 8:15 a.m., therefore any student dropped off before this time will not be supervised, and we highly discourage unsupervised students outside of our school building at any time.
- After school, students are expected to go to the designated place that your family decides (not on campus), unless a teacher has asked them to stay after. If this is the case, prompt pick up is required so that we do not have unsupervised students around our campus.
- CLI encourages everyone to come out and support our after school sporting events. However, students are required to "go home" after school. Students are not able to "hang out" around our campus after school due to no adult supervision available.

FOOD SERVICES
Parents can set up a SchoolCafe account for their child by following the link below. Money for breakfast and lunch can be deposited and students will use their identification badge to purchase food from the cafeteria. Depositing money helps parents keep track of their child's lunch money spending and keeps your child from having to keep up with their cash during the day.
How to find out about CCISD District-level committees
The Clear Creek Independent School District has many district-level committees from school safety and student health to educational improvement and finances. To learn more, visit here.
CELL PHONES / EAR BUDS
Eagles are expected to model Core Values at all times. By placing cell phones out of sight so that you can stay actively engaged in your own learning, you are demonstrating Responsibility and Respect. For students who choose not to comply, your phone will be confiscated by your teacher and returned at the end of the school day. Multiple infractions will result in disciplinary consequences.

Technology Information
Do you know how to help your student with the various online platforms he or she might need to be successful in intermediate school? Here are some resources to help you and your child.
For STUDENTS:
Login to the CCISD SSO Portal
The SSO portal makes logging in to other applications more seamless. The portal has links to all the main web tools you will need (Skyward, itsLearning, textbooks, etc.).
* You should use the same username and password that you used to login to your laptop.
Finding your classes in itsLearning**
Once you login to the SSO portal, you can click on the itsLearning app, and you do not need to login to ItsLearning separately.
* This is a generic overview of itsLearning basics and is not CCISD-specific. See the CCISD Student Resources page above for more info.

Anonymous Alert Link
CCISD continues to implement and improve upon our anonymous system for reporting safety concerns. These concerns can include safety violations on campus, threats, harassment, bullying and self-harm. Because school safety is dependent upon every member of our community, if you see or hear of something that concerns you, we ask you to report it, or submit your concern using the Anonymous Alert system.
When submitting concerns, please make sure that you report all information (names, description, location, time, etc.) in order to help with a quick response. We investigate every tip submitted.
We also ask that parents and students load the app on your phone. Emergency alerts and school closure information is sent out via this application.
