Facts:
1 in 3 high school students report using e-cigarettes regularly
71% of high school students do not view regular marijuana smoking as harmful

High school is to late to educate your child. From a young age, monitor what your child is exposed to and be aware of conversations they hear. Promote a healthy lifestyle from the beginning.
In the spirit of being healthy and safe:
Spread Awareness
Talk about Dangers
Encourage and Make Alcohol and Drug-free Choices
This month we will be studying the character trait of Responsibility. We will use the Character Strong Curriculum monthly to explore different traits through the year.

When your child is out, email our Attendance Clerk, Mrs. Alma, at alma.carrizales@cvisd.org
Anytime your student is out for a doctor's appointment or therapy, a note from the doctor or therapist is required. Otherwise, a parent note is needed the day the student returns.
Make sure the note includes your child´s name, teacher´s name, date of absence and reason for absence. A student will not be counted absent if he or she leaves school or is late to school and a note from a doctor or therapist is provided for that day.
