A reminder that if a student is signed out by a parent/guardian for any portion of the school day, it is our expectation that they are off-campus. It is against school protocol for a parent/guardian to excuse a student from a class to complete work in the library. In the case of an emergency, we want to make sure that all students are accounted for.

This summer there are two outdoor education opportunities for students in collaboration with Choice Pass:

• Wilderness First Aid (WFA) - short version of the Wilderness First Responder course.
• Outdoor Youth Leadership - 6 days of outdoor activities (hiking, climbing, rafting, fishing, and a night of camping)

If your child needs medication administered during the school day. Please bring the completed form with physician signature and prescription medication in appropriately labeled container to the school.

Please email CBSSattendance@gunnisonschools.net if your student will be absent or needs to miss any classes. Per the student handbook, please note that students who are more than 25 minutes late to class without a call or email from a guardian will be marked as an unexcused absence for that period.
