Dear Parents, We hope this letter finds you well. We are writing to inform you that our school has implemented a new policy regarding tardiness. Starting immediately, any student who is tardy to class four or more times will be required to attend lunch detention. We understand that sometimes unexpected circumstances can cause students to arrive late to class. However, it is important for students to be on time and ready to learn when the bell rings. Being tardy disrupts the learning environment and can be unfair to both the student who is tardy and their classmates. We encourage you to talk with your child about the importance of being on time and to make sure they arrive to school and class on time. If you have any questions or concerns about this policy, please do not hesitate to contact us. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, Crossett High School

Dear Parents/Guardians, We hope this letter finds you well. We want to emphasize the importance of regular attendance at school for your child. Attending school regularly is crucial for your child's academic success. When students miss school, they miss important instruction and opportunities to learn and grow. This can lead to gaps in their understanding and can make it difficult for them to keep up with their peers. In addition, missing school can also negatively impact a student's social development and ability to form meaningful relationships with their classmates. We understand that there may be occasions when your child needs to miss school, such as for medical appointments or family emergencies. In these cases, we ask that you please inform the school as soon as possible so that we can support your child in making up any missed work. Below is Crossett High School's policy for unexcused absences: "When a student reaches three (3) unexcused absences in a semester in a course, the student will lose credit for that course. However, a student may recover course credit, if they have a passing grade in the course for the semester, by attending one hour of Saturday school for each unexcused absence in a course above the allowable number. When a student reaches thirteen (13) unexcused days, this will be considered excessive and the student will not be able to recover their credit by the means mentioned above.” We value your partnership in ensuring that your child has the best possible educational experience. Thank you for your support in helping your child attend school regularly. If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us. Sincerely,

October 24, 2022 Dear parent or guardian, As part of our English Language Arts (ELA) curriculum, we will soon begin a unit titled The Power of Perception. In this unit, students will read about a variety of ways in which our perceptions can be influenced. The texts we will read center on the Essential Question: “How does our point of view shape our view of the world?” This open-ended question is intended to spark thoughtful discussion. You may wish to explore this question with your student at home as well. Unit 2 includes the following texts. How Do You See Your Self(ie)?: This informational text explores both negative and positive aspects of taking selfie photos. Students will learn to identify the central idea of an informational text and understand the author’s purpose and point of view. Mirror: This poem explores our focus on appearances through the perspective of a mirror. Students will learn to analyze the speaker in a poem and analyze figurative language. The Night Face Up: This short story weaves together two plots, one in a modern hospital and the other involving an Aztec ritual. Students will analyze plot structure and make inferences. The 100-Person Planet: This infographic depicts a variety of characteristics of people around the world, from age to internet access. Students will interpret graphics and analyze the motives of the graphic’s creator. A Contribution to Statistics: A Nobel prize-winning poet categorizes people according to personality characteristics before concluding that we are all mortal. Students will analyze literary devices and poetic structure. Students will analyze the messages developed by choices about details as they compare “The 100-Person Planet” and “A Contribution to Statistics.” Honors students will have an extended reading related to the unit theme and Essential Question. In this unit, we will be reading All the Light We Cannot See by Anthony Doerr. Students will receive a schedule for daily reading at the beginning of the unit. Assignments will be assigned throughout the 9 weeks based on this novel. The Unit Writing Task, Write an Explanation, asks students to synthesize their reading and support their ideas using relevant evidence from a variety of sources. All assignments except for the Long Reads are available through your student’s eBook. Please contact me if you have any questions about this unit. Thank you, Mrs. Adams

Dear Parents and Students, Beginning Wednesday (October 25), Crossett High School will begin using the digital hall pass system SmartPass. SmartPass is a digital hall pass system that replaces traditional hall passes such as sign-out sheets, wooden blocks, passbooks, and lanyards. It provides administrators an accounting of which students are outside of the classroom during the school day. In case of emergencies such as fires, severe weather, or building intruders, administrators have real-time access to this critical information. Overall, the pass history of a student will lead to more effective and informative parent-teacher conferences, as well as ensuring students are where they should be in the classroom learning. Students and staff can access SmartPass from their school-provided device at www.smartpass.app/login. For more information, please visit the vendor’s website at www.smartpass.app. Sincerely, Stephanie Brooks

Students will evaluate the author’s argument and analyze the rhetoric he uses. Students will analyze purpose and audience as they compare the arguments from the Texas v.
