Good afternoon CCE Families,
It is hard to believe that November is around the corner! October has been so eventful at school, and we are looking forward to completing our first trimester this Friday, November 3.
School Attendance “Showing Up Together”
At CCE we believe that regular attendance is critical to student engagement, wellbeing, and Spanish language development. We are here to partner with you. It is our intent to provide communication, guidance, customer service, support, coordinated community services, and interventions to help our students attend school in accordance with the state’s compulsory education law.
- How do you report an absence? Notify our front office within 48 hours of an absence and provide the dates and reason that apply (call 530-757-5490 or email Suzanne Hinton at [email protected]).
- Short-Term Independent Study (STIS)
The winter holidays are near and many of our families have inquired about our school’s Short-Term Independent Study (STIS) Plans, or Travel Plans, contracts with terms that support independent study for a minimum of 3 days and up to 10 school days. The STIS plans are in the front office and must be signed by the parent, (3rd-6th) student and principal at least three business days in advance prior to the first day of student(s) absence. Please notify both our Attendance Manager, Suzanne Hinton ([email protected]) and your student’s teacher(s) regarding the school days that will be missed. Thank you for contacting Sra. Daniela and your teacher well in advance so that your student’s plan will be available for pick up at the office prior to the beginning of the STIS period. Our school office hours are: 8:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
Thank you again for your continued support!
Sra. Dunn
