Hello Bear Family!
It has been such a wonderful start to the new year! It is a little weird acknowledging the fact that we have completed a full month of school, but here we are knocking on September's door.
One of the new things we started this year involved a change to the sound of our bells. I would encourage you to ask your students what they think of the new sounds ( and bonus if they can remember the name of the song...hint, we tried to connect it to a color of CBHS).
We have 2 new faces who everyone will need to know. First is Mrs. Kristen Erwin who is joining us as our school nurse. She has jumped right in as an important member of the Bluff family, so we are very happy to have her! Next is Deputy Ed Lyons who will be our CBHS SRO beginning September 2. Please introduce yourselves to him when you see him and welcome him to the Bluff. We are excited to have him join us!
We shared the following information regarding our exam exemption incentives earlier this month through Remind and IC Messenger, but I wanted to share it out again so everyone has the information.
Final exams are the expectations for all high school classes. However, as an incentive to increase our attendance and to continue to achieve academic success, we are going to offer an exam exemption incentive beginning September 2nd. (August absences will not count against any student.) This is an incentive, not a penalty for those who may not meet all the criteria below.
For a yearlong course, a student who has a yearly average of 90 and 5 or less absences may be exempt from the teacher’s final exam. For a semester course, a student who has final average of 90 and 3 or less absences may be exempt from the teacher’s final exam. Absences include all excused and unexcused absences.
No student can exempt an EOC, End of Pathway, nor an AP exam.
Student absences for Cherokee Bluff High School field trips and Cherokee Bluff High School athletic competitions do not count against the total absences. Exam exemptions will be determined by each class period.
Thank you again for partnering with us to help our students from wearing IDs, to dress code, to bringing Chromebooks charged and ready to go, I wanted to say thank you for your help in reminding our students about all of these!
Make good choices, and always Go Bears!
Love,
Mrs. Ramsey

Student IDs & Dress Code
Dress Code is linked HERE (on digital page 11) and is in the Student Agenda as well linked to our webpage.
Please refer to Student McBearson as a visual example of dress code expectations.
IDs are part of our school dress code. All students, staff, subs, and visitors are expected to wear an ID on a lanyard around the neck during the school day. This is for the safety of everyone in our building.
Please consider these guidelines when purchasing Back to School clothes. While our first concern is that students remain in class, students who consistently defy the dress code will have consequences beginning with calling a parent or guardian to bring other clothing to school and ending with possible ISS for not following school rules.
Please consider these guidelines above and the visual to the right when purchasing Back to School clothes.
