Sturgis East Weekly Update

Important Changes to CCRT: 

As of January 1st, Charlie Cards are no longer being used, and will be replaced by the new GO card. 

Set up your account at https://capecodrta.org/goapp/ 

All questions regarding transferring funds to  the new card should be directed to info@capecodrta.org

Students on Financial Assistance who receive Charlie Cards from Sturgis, DO NOT pick up a blank card. You will  receive an email to pick up a pre-loaded card at the main office.  We will also need to collect your Charlie card when you return in January to transfer the funds. 

Please confirm that your Go card is activated for a STUDENT ACCOUNT ($1.50 per ride). If that is not the case, call the CCRT to have it changed.

***Every June, accounts revert to full fare, so you will need to call back to ask for the student fare again each summer. 

The number for CCRT is 508-775-8504.

 Attendance Procedures

We ask that you use the Attendance Reporting Form to inform the school of any absences, tardies or dismissals. The form is located on the right hand side of the East Campus homepage of the website and on your Community Portal.  This form should be completed by 9AM on the day of the dismissal.  If a need arises to dismiss after 9AM, please call the main office to report the dismissal. 

Please come to the main office when dismissing your student.

Please view this slide show regarding Attendance Protocols

Please see this important message from the Nurse that includes when to keep your child home from school due to illness.

How do I reach my child during the school day?

As students will not have access to their cellphones during the school day, except during lunch (11:35-12:30), please try to communicate daily plans with your child prior to school.  If you need to reach them, you can either

• leave a message on their cellphone to be retrieved during lunch

• if it is time sensitive, call the main office and we can deliver a message 

If you need to drop something off for your student, please bring it to the office and the student can pick it up there.

 Financial Assistance

We encourage families with financial need to apply for this program.  If your child has received a free or reduced lunch in the past, please note that the federal government requires that you reapply each year. You can access the application forms on the Sturgis website.  For students who qualify for a free or reduced lunch, Sturgis works with Little Sandwich Shop to provide fresh and delicious lunch options.

There are additional benefits for qualifying students including:

• Transportation to and from school

• Athletic fees

• School field trips

• School events, including proms and special events

• College Application Processing Services (CAPS)

Those who are in this program can rest assured that their information and participation are kept in the strictest confidence.
