Diploma Seals
Are you aware that your student may qualify for a diploma seal? These applications begin in the freshman year so please go to the CUSD website: Teaching and Learning: Curriculum and Instruction: Diploma Seals. As of now, there are 4 seals a student may earn for their diploma. Each seal has its own requirements, so please read carefully.
Here is also the link to a flyer you are welcome to send or post around campus Seal of biliteracy https://drive.google.com/file/d/1PQ6QM3BqGwy_ifOIh0nx2lK9EVEu67pn/view?usp=sharing

Constant News
Parents, even though your student is growing and looking older, we ask that you monitor the weekly grades and email teachers with any concerns. Ask your student if they turned in the assignment late or took a test late and then follow up with the teacher to inquire when the late work will be graded. Please understand that teachers budget their time, so late work may take a backseat while they are keeping up with their own timelines. We ask you to monitor grades weekly until the day they graduate. This is the best way to launch them on to a successful path after high school. Email teachers directly with any concerns or questions; the counselor can only see the same grade report you see. If a student fails a class, it is expected the parent and student will confer with the counselor to set up summer school the following summer. While summer school is online for the most part, the finals are in person, so families must adjust any summer travel to the summer timeline. Counselors will have summer information in late January.
Time to make sure you have accepted your counselor's invite to Google Classroom. If you are brand new and do not see an invitation, please email your counselor at their @cusd80.com email to request you be added.
Look at this every week so you know what your counselor is doing with you!!!
Settle in with your classes. Get to know your teachers by going in for tutoring, even if you don't need it. Sometimes it is great to do your homework in your teacher's classroom after school...then if you get stuck the teacher is right there! Classes are more exciting when you develop a relationship with your teachers.
Tutoring schedules per department are posted on this page under Tutoring. Our own Link Crew offers tutoring every Monday and Wednesday with peers in room F103. Just go and do your homework and a peer will be there to assist.
NOTICE: Any classes taken at a charter or online school that is not within the CUSD school system must have prior approval from the counselor and a contract signed. CUSD does not accept core classes from non-accredited and non-in-person exam schools, so please work with a counselor prior to registering students.
