During WIN on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of last week Mr. Altland and Mrs. Lamothe spoke to teams of students to review school expectations. We are in the last 1/3 of the school year and we took the time to be proactive for success. Here is a summary of what was addressed. We appreciate you speaking with your students to follow up. Thank you for your support!

Be Where You Are Supposed to Be: Students are expected to travel directly to their classes. They should not be in hallways or staircases that they do not need to be in throughout the day.

Transitions: Students have 3 minutes to transition between classes. This is plenty of time to get where is needed. Most transitions are directly across or up the hall which only takes about 30 seconds. Students are expected to go right to their classes, and not use the 3 minutes to go find friends.

Bathrooms: We have had to close many of our bathrooms due to the poor choices happening in them. Students have been throwing food, milk and juice on the floors. They have been stuffing food and rolls of toilet paper in the toilets. Without cameras in the bathrooms, we are not always able to catch the culprits. We have closed bathrooms so that students are only going to bathrooms where an adult is around to make sure behavior is appropriate. Students are expected to use the bathroom, wash their hands, throw their trash away, and leave when using the restroom.

School Appropriate Language: Students are expected to speak respectfully to their peers and teachers throughout the day. Frustration or anger is not an excuse to curse or use racial slurs. We will continue to suspend students that lose control and make this choice. The bottom line is lead with kindness. Treat others the way you would want to be treated in that situation.

Bus Behavior: The same behavior that is expected in school is expected on the bus. Students should be in their seats, talking with friends around them, being respectful to all around them including the bus driver, and staying safe.

Walker Requirements: With the weather getting nicer, many of our students like to walk. We must have written permission- either an email or a handwritten note from families in order to let a student walk.

Thank you again for your support reviewing these expectations with your student(s).

Permission slips went home last week for our middle school students to go see "Beetlejuice" at CASH on Friday, March 14th. The cost of the trip is $5.00 and can be paid via Revtrak. I have included the link below for ease, but Revtrak can also be accessed from the Coatesville School District homepage. Click on Middle School, then Scott, and finally "Beetlejuice." All permission slips and payments are due by Monday, March 10th. All students are invited to attend, but only students with slips and payment will be allowed to go.

Wondering if your child’s bus is running late?

Reminders:

1.If your student needs medication in school, please have their doctor complete the medication form and have an adult bring the medication to the school nurse.

2. If your student calls or texts you and asks you to pick them up from school, please remind them to see the nurse. Students should head to the nurse when they are not feeling well to be checked out by Nurse Keenan. If she feels that your student needs to come home, she will call you.

3.Any 6th or 7th graders that owe the school a medical form received it in the mail to be filled out and returned to school as soon as possible. All medical forms were due back after Winter Break.

If you have any questions, please email: keenana@casdschools.org
