If my child has band and misses a class, do they have to make up the work?
Before a student goes to lessons they should drop off the homework from the night before. They should also pick up the homework for that night. If they are having difficulty they can see me for help during flex or during bus dismissal.Back to Top

Do all parents have a conference appointment?
At CSIS we meet with you as a team. As there are 73 students on our team, we do not schedule appointments with students who are having a successful experience in all areas. You are still welcome to request an appointment if you feel there is a reason to meet with us. If we have recently met with you we may not schedule another conference at this time.Back to Top
