END OF YEAR TESTING INFORMAITON
June 12th is the
last day of school for 7th -12th grade students with
dismissal time being 11:30am. Local
final exams will start on June 12th and will run through the week of
June 16th. Regents and RCT
exams begin on June 16th for our students with the last exams scheduled
for June 24th. Information
regarding exam schedules will be shared with parents and students THROUGH the
guidance office in the upcoming weeks.
Please be aware of these dates and be prepared for the end of the year
tests. Breakfast

STATE TESTING
The 8th grade
Social Studies State Exam is scheduled for Tuesday, June 2nd and
Wednesday, June 3rd during 1st and 2nd
periods. Please be sure to be in attendance during those days and try to
avoid scheduling appointments, etc. during that time.
CODE OF CONDUCT REMINDERS
The school year
is winding down and we only have a couple months of school left. It has
been the schools process to assign ISS (in-school suspension) to students who
have violated the codes for cell phones, electronic devices, dress and book/large
bags. The consequences for these offenses for the remainder of the year
will be an after school detention. Education is our priority and we do
not want to take our students out of classes especially this close to the end
of the year. Please remind your students that cell phones and electronic
devices are prohibited during the school day between 7:30 a.m. – 3:00
p.m. In addition, students may not carry large purses, bags or book bags
during the school day. These bags need to be kept in their lockers.
As the weather gets warmer, dress code becomes a topic of concern. Please
make sure your student is meeting the dress code requirements before leaving
home in the morning. Thank you for your help in promoting a
positive learning environment for all of the Campbell-Savona students.
SUMMER SCHOOL
Campbell-Savona Central
School will be hosting a summer school program for grades 6-12. In order
for a student to attend the summer school program offered at Campbell-Savona
Central School certain criteria must be met. The following are
some highlights from the guidelines that will be used to determine whether or
not a student is eligible to attend summer school at CSCS:
1.
Students
can only take a summer school course that they have previously been enrolled in
and failed.
2.
Students
must have earned at least a score of 50 in order to attend summer school.
3.
40%
of the student’s averaged grade earned during the regular school year and 60%
of the student’s summer school average will be used to determined his/her new
average.
4.
Students
will be allowed 3 absences during the course of the summer school program.
If the student has more than 3 absences, the student will be dropped from the summer
program and must repeat the class during the following school year.
5.
A
maximum of 3 courses can be taken during the summer school program. Each
student will work with his/her guidance counselor to determine which course(s)
need(s) to be taken.
SPORTS PHYSICALS
Physicals are scheduled for May
8th, 19th and June 3rd. Students must return their completed health history
form to the Mrs. Fleet, in the Nurse’s Office, by Monday, May 5th.
Any student that is in 7th, 10th or new to the district and
has not had a physical at this point will have their physical done by the
schools physician on one of the days listed above. If you any questions, please feel free to
call Lisa Fleet at 527-9800, ext. 1411.
At
Campbell-Savona Jr./Sr. High, we strive to instill a love for reading in our
students so we are having our second book fair at the Jr./Sr. High School Library
this year. This is an event where
students will be able to buy one book and get another book of equal value to
the first book for free! The Book Fair
will be open during the school day throughout the week of Monday, May 11th
through Friday, May 15th. We will
also have a family event from 3:00pm-6:00pm on Wednesday, May 13th. Please feel
free to come with your children to purchase some of the great books being
offered.
Parents play a major role in
their children’s choices about alcohol, tobacco or other drugs. A recent
national survey of parents and teens by the National Center on Addiction and
Substance Abuse at Columbia University found one-third of teen partygoers have
been to parties where teens were drinking alcohol, smoking marijuana, or using
cocaine, ecstasy or prescription drugs while a parent was present. By
age 17, nearly half (46 percent) of teens have been at such parties where
parents were present.
As a parent, you cannot give alcohol to your teen’s friends under the age
of 21 under any circumstance,
even in your own home, even with their parent’s permission.
You also cannot knowingly allow a person under 21, other than your own
child, to remain in your home or on your property while they are consuming or
possessing alcohol.
<<< There
are legal consequences if you do. >>>
Simply
taking away the car keys does not solve all of the problems related to underage
drinking. Every day, at least six youths
under 21 die from non-driving alcohol-related causes, such as drowning and
suicide. Delinquent behaviors also
increase with underage drinking. You can protect your children by following
these guidelines when hosting teen parties:
