Information Continued Appropriate school behavior is a requirement. Inappropriate school behavior has consequences. We offer in school suspension (retract) to try to avoid suspension; however, extreme behaviors or offenses will result in a parent/principal conference and probable suspension. Daily behavior updates are sent in the communication folders. Snack is a PRIVILEGE and students that misbehave will lose snack privileges. Grade level newsletters go home each Monday and are posted to your page at www.ces.chickasawschools.com and on Facebook on the Chickasaw City Schools 2nd Grade Class

Arrival and Dismissal All students being brought to school in a car GO THROUGH THE CAR LINE. Students may not be dropped of anywhere other than the car line. Otherwise, this is creats a dangerous situation with buses, day care vans, and Pre-K parents. Please remind parents to sign all notes, give snacks money and kisses before they get into car line so it will flow smoothly. We are asking at arrival and dismissal is for the safety of 500 students.
