•Sleepwear, including pajama pants, is only allowed on designated reward days
• Appropriate short length
Thank you for your support!

In February, we will switch gears and focus on being kind and respectful to others. If we can stay under 10 referrals in this category, we will celebrate with a popcorn party at the end of the month.
When we return to school, parent drop off in the morning needs to be on School Street or through our main parking lot by the office. All students will enter through the main student entrance like always. The church parking lot has piles of snow blocking students from crossing the street. Thanks for your support. - Dr. Webb
Due to the severe weather, today will be an E-Learning Day.
Teachers will be sending additional information via Rooms regarding today's ELA, Math, Music, and PE activities. Since today counts as a school day and we will not make up this time, the expectation is for students to complete the assigned activities to the best of their ability. Staff is available between 9:00 am - 2:00 pm via Rooms or email to answer any questions you may have. This plan will be the same for each E-Learning Day during this severe weather event.
Stay safe and have fun! -- Dr. Webb

Sayha Amarasuriya's mission patch was chosen for the 2026 Challenger Mission Holiday Postcard. These postcards are sent all over the country, including the White House. On Friday, representatives came to CIS and presented Sayha with a framed copy of her postcard. Sayha's mission patch was entered during her fifth-grade field trip to the Challenger Learning Center at Western Kentucky Community and Technical College last year.

During the first four weeks, students will focus on being responsible for their learning, with a goal of reducing referrals such as being unprepared or off task. Meeting this goal earns students a sweet treat from the candy cart.
In the second half of the quarter, the focus shifts to being responsible for our words and actions. We are committed to choosing kindness, with a popcorn party as the reward for meeting our goal.
If our entire school stays under 120 office referrals for the quarter, students will celebrate with a dodgeball tournament and a concession stand.
We visualized responsibility with a fun activity. Participants were given a pizza box to represent their "responsibilities." Their goal was to keep their responsibilities safe in the air, even when distractions (other participants) tried to knock them down.
