3 Introducing...Your Cavelero Counselors Dale Mabren Guin Reeves Emily Thomas A - Gr Gu - N O - Z Hello Colts!! We are looking forward to a new school year with you. We are eagerly looking forward to seeing all of you soon, and hope that you have made the most of your summer break and have awesome stories to share. Your schedules will be available to view online through Family Access on August 24th. Each year a few students ask us about changing their schedules. If you have a conflict in your schedule or if you are scheduled in a class you did not request in the spring we can help with that. This is the only type of schedule change we can do. Please do not ask for a schedule change based on your lunch or teacher as we cannot accommodate these types of changes. We expect our counseling offices to be up and running by August 21st. If you have concerns, please call or us on or after that date. We will be available for questions or schedule issues from 8:00am 3:30pm on August 26th, 27th, 28th, 30th. The Cavelero Stampede is August 27th. In the meantime Enjoy these last few weeks of summer!!! News from the Attendance Office Attendance is an important part of a student s education. Here is some information that can help your student be successful in their years here at Cavelero. Absences: It is very important that absences are excused. You may either: call in to the attendance or main office, send an to Carilyn Bailey or send a note with your student to excuse an absence. Absences need to be excused within 3 days of the student s return to school or they will be unexcused and marked truant. Students are allowed 10 absences per semester or loss of credit is possible. Preplanned absences: Absences due to vacation or medical procedures that are 3 or more days and have been planned ahead of time need to have a Prior Permission Form filled out completely and turned into the Attendance Office at least one week prior to the absence. If this is not done for vacations you run the risk of absences after the 3 rd day being unexcused. The student handbook is also a great tool for any attendance information you may need. If you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to either call Carilyn Bailey, Attendance Secretary, at or at carilyn_bailey@lkstevens.wednet.edu. PARENT VOLUNTEERS NEEDED! Do you have a few hours each week that you would like to spend at Cavelero Mid High School?
