From the CIS Health Office
As we are coming into Flu season and experiencing an increase in
infectious disease in our country I wanted to remind you of our policies and encourage you in wellness as we move through the school year.
1. Do not send students to school with a fever of 100.0 or above. They must be fever free without fever-reducing medication for 24 hours before returning to school.
2. Your student must be free of vomiting &/or diarrhea for 24hours before returning to school.
3. Do not send your student to school if they have an uncontrollable cough that keeps them or others from learning.
4. Encourage your student to use proper hand washing hygiene & disease prevention.
5. Please contact the Health Office if you have any questions or concerns.
Looking forward to a Happy & Healthy School Year!

All students will have their pictures taken and parents will be given the opportunity to order pictures once proofs are available. |
ManageBac
For the 2014 2015 school year the CIS MYP is using the information system ManageBac to communicate between teachers, students and parents.
On Friday 10/3/2014, parents should have received an e-mail with log-in instructions to ManageBac. If you did not receive a welcome e-mail or if you have any other issues with ManageBac, please contact the CIS MYP Coordinator, Josh Ripp, at

| PSAT
Dear Families of our 9th, 10th and 11th grade students:
The Preliminary SAT (PSAT) exam will be administered this fall on Wednesday October 15, 2014 at 1:30 pm. All 9th, 10th, 11th and 12thgrade students are eligible to take this exam that will be administered here at CIS. There is a $14 fee for all students taking the test and 11th graders can apply for a waiver. There are a limited number of tests available at CIS so please indicate your interest early by contacting me via email: newcomer-millerj@corralesis.org Checks must be made out to CIS and given to me prior to Oct 13, 2014.
Below is a bit more information related to the PSAT along with some helpful links. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. Most importantly, for 11th graders, the PSAT serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test for students entering college in the fall of 2016.
Here is more information:
