More resources available on Health & Wellness.
You will find below, three links that provide some guidance in regards to accessing apps/information for your own convenience. On our website calendar you will find the major events taking place at our school. In the daily bulletin you will find two slides: one that covers all athletics events (practices, games, location and time) and one that covers other events on top of all other slides covering announcements and menus.
Please note that the MyCBE / Powerschool link allows you to see assessments and attendance. Furthermore, when you go into your MyCBE / Powerschool account, when you look on the left hand side of the screen, there is a menu. If you click on the Apps item, it will bring up a page that includes School Conferences. This is where you will go to sign up for Parent-Teacher Interviews.
You will also find a reminder about what constitutes an excused or non-excused absence. We want to clarify that a call is needed for all absences but some absences will be considered as not excused even if a parent has called it in. For more information visit our attendance information.
Hope you find this helpful and let us know if you need something else in terms of communication with you.
