The Homecoming Dance is scheduled for this Saturday, October 16th from 7-10. The dance will be outside in the courtyard and will proceed with light rain. However, if there is heavy rain in the forecast the dance will need to be cancelled. That decision will be made by 4pm on Saturday on our live feed and facebook channels. If the dance is cancelled we will send out information on refund procedures.

Dear Parent/Guardian, An exciting new program is now being offered in Morgan County called Communities In Schools (CIS). CIS is an organization that has been around nationally for over 40 years. The purpose of the program is to bring community resources into schools to empower success for all students. Through a school-based coordinator, resources are sought to support students’ academic and/or non-academic needs and support their learning. I am writing to introduce myself as the CIS Site Coordinator for Berkeley Springs Highschool. I will be assessing the needs of the school and providing general supports as well as supporting a smaller group of students on an individual basis. As the Site Coordinator, I will meet with these students to identify their needs and determine what supports would be of most benefit to them. Throughout the year, I will monitor each student’s progress to ensure that the resources in place are delivering positive results. Our goal is to help students overcome obstacles and provide them encouragement for success in the future. This permission slip is being sent out to all students in the school. If you do not want your child to have the opportunity to receive individualized supports through the Communities In Schools program while attending Berkeley Springs High School, please complete the form below and return it to the school no later than October 22nd to the front office. By not returning the form, you grant the school permission to have your child participate in the program and authorize the release of your child’s FERPA-protected educational records (e.g., attendance, transcripts, discipline, etc.) for the purpose of setting goals and monitoring his or her progress throughout the year. Should you have any questions or concerns regarding the CIS program, I hope that you will contact me. Thank you, Emily Hawver Community In Schools Student Success Liaison Berkeley Springs High School Emily.Hawver@k12.wv.us (304) 258-2871 Ext: 154 ___________________________________________________________________________ I have read this form and understand what the Communities In Schools program is. _____ My child may not participate in individualized services through the CIS Program Printed Name_________________________ Signature __________________________
