Attendance Windows

Just a reminder, handwritten notes are accepted but you can also email Mrs. Cuevas at tcuevas@caddomillsisd.org. Absences will play a part in determining if a student is exempt from semester exams. Make sure you bring a note the day following your absence!

ALL attendance discrepancies must be addressed within these windows. Corrections will not be made outside of these windows. Be checking your attendance frequently through Skyward.

Knockout List

Just a reminder: Students with missing assignments from the previous week will receive an email Monday morning stating the assignments they're missing that have placed them on the Knockout List. Students will have Monday and Tuesday during the day to turn in these missing assignments and be cleared from the Knockout List. If they have not turned in all missing assignments by Tuesday afternoon, they'll be required to stay for Knockout School. Knockout School is every Tuesday afternoon in the Library (3:50-5:50). If students choose to miss Knockout School, they will be issued a detention.

Admin will be available during lunches on Monday and Tuesday to help clear assignments from the Knockout List. We encourage all students to communicate with their teachers and administrators prior to Knockout School to ensure they've turned in all outstanding assignments.

Saturday Events

What are your plans for Saturday? We have something for everyone at the high school campus. I am attaching flyers, but please share them with your friends.

We have our Second Annual Christmas Vendor Fair. We have over 60 vendors plus a couple of food trailers. Come out and finish your shopping and support the businesses that support CMISD. So many cool and unique things are coming.
The CMHS Theatre Department is performing its first musical in the new performing arts center starting Friday night and several performances on Saturday. Dinner, desserts, and a great family show for really cheap while you're supporting the theatre kiddos.
SHAC Health Fair - Come out and learn all about your health needs and get checked out!
CMYSA Cheer Clinic - Drop them off and go shop!

It will be a fun day for everyone. Flyers have more details. Feel free to share on social media.
