Reminders
Traveling for the Holidays? Don’t Fall Behind!
We know that this time of year brings extra travel for many families, and this means that students may have to miss school. Short-term independent study (STIS) is available for students who know in advance that they will be absent for three or more school days and enables the student to stay current with coursework provided by their teacher(s). Students can use STIS for up to 10 consecutive days at a time, with a limit of 14 days total per school year. Please contact our CCE Attendance Manager, Suzanne Hinton, at [email protected] or call (530) 757-5490.
- STIS Plans take teachers much time to put together, please give your teacher advance notice at least 5 business days.
- Schools receive STIS attendance credit contingent on the percentage of student work packet completion; (i.e. 10-day STIS only 50% of the student work packet completed equates to 5 days of school attendance credit not 10 days.)
- Teachers also receive STIS compensation for creating STIS student work packets contingent on the percentage of student work packet completion; (i.e. 10-day STIS only 50% of the student work packet completed equates to 5 days of teacher STIS compensation not 10 days.)
11th Annual César Chávez Bike Swap 2024: Sunday, April 14
Is anyone in your family or someone you know getting a new bike as a holiday gift? Considering what to do with the old bike hat is still in good riding condition?
Save this bike for donation or consignment at our April 14, 2024, Bike Swap. This awesome school fundraiser for CCE will be here before you know it. At our April 2023 CCE Bike Swap earlier this year, we sold 378 bikes & bike related items AND cleared over $13,000 for CCE!!! As a reminder, if you consign items - you get you 75% of the sales price and the school gets the rest. If you donate items - the school receives 100% of the proceeds. This is safer and easier than Craigslist and tax deductible too!!! Questions? Visit the SIPAT Bike Swap page or contact CCE alumni parent Jill Bonner at [email protected].
Thank you - and Happy Holidays!
