Thank you to all of you that shopped this year’s Book Fair!!! Our school hit a record-breaking number reaching almost $13,000.00 sold in the Book Fair! Scholastic gives back a percentage of this collection and it is used to supply our teachers with materials to use in their classrooms and stock our library!! Thank you so much for supporting literacy and our school! We greatly appreciate Mrs. Redd and all of our volunteers, we couldn’t have done it without you! Thank you for working in our book fair and assisting our students this week!

Midterms:

Midterms are coming up next week for High School Block Courses. Please make sure your student is prepared and is asking their teacher for questions/concerns prior to the test dates.

Tik Tok Challenge:

Parents, we’d like to make you aware of a new “tik tok” challenge in which students are vandalizing and stealing things from school campus. Most of these actions are taking place in the bathrooms of schools and students are recording themselves destroying school property. I want to take a moment to remind all of our students and families that vandalism and stealing will NOT be tolerated at CGS and IF students are caught participating in such acts, they will be subject to disciplinary action. Thank you for helping to remind our students about what it means to respect other people’s property and take pride in our school.

Handbook Updates:

There were 2 updates to our school’s handbook that were added since you all received a copy of the document in Canvas. The updated copy has been added for your reference. The 2 changes were:

  1. A “Self-Plagiarism” policy was added to cheating/plagiarism in the Code of Conduct
    1. Plagiarism is/includes self-plagiarism; students must write original content for each assignment, and they cannot submit old work from previous classes as a new assignment in their current classes. (Page 50)
  2. Middle School Final Grade Calculations:
    1. Midterm Exam counts as 1 test grade in Semester 1 (Pages 30/31)

SS-ARS:

Over the next 2 weeks, our students in grades 6th-12th will be reminded about how to use the Say Something Anonymous Reporting System. This system allows students to anonymously report a classmate who could be at risk of hurting themselves or others.

Meet our New School Social Worker/Counselor:
