IMMUNIZATIONS The State of California requires all schools to confirm student immunizations records to meet minimum State requirements for school attendance. As such, Parents must provide their student’s Immunization Record as proof of required immunizations upon a student’s initial enrollment at Chaminade and for any student advancing to the 7th grade. If your student is new to Chaminade or advancing to 7th grade, please provide their immunization record on the required 2022-23 Student Medical Information Form.

The 2022-23 Student Medical and Emergency Contact forms are available in the Family Portal found at www.chaminade.org.

Please use your parent login to complete the required forms.

Textbooks Chaminade uses MBS Direct as the official online bookstore for purchasing all course textbooks. The MBS Online Bookstore will open on July 11th. You may purchase summer reading books through MBS Online; however, due to time constraints, you may want to purchase summer reading books elsewhere. See below for information about summer reading.

Returning and current families may purchase textbooks through this link to the MBS Direct Online Bookstore. Please purchase textbooks prior to the first day of school and once you have received your child’s schedule. See below for information about class schedules. Most courses REQUIRE the one-year online digital textbook for use at school. In addition to the one-year online digital textbook, you may purchase OPTIONAL hard copy textbooks for those who want to use print versions at home.

Please read the instructor’s notes at the top of each course to see what is required for each course.

Office hours are 7:30am to 3:00pm msattendance@chaminade.org, Office: 818-363-9531

ABSENTEEISM It is the parent’s obligation to inform the Health/Attendance office of an absence between 7:45am and 9:00am each day the student is absent. This is mandatory. (Emailing a teacher is NOT considered notifying the Health/ Attendance office). Students who have been absent from school must have a note from a parent upon their return. Student’s absences due to illness lasting 5 or more consecutive days will need a doctor’s note of clearance to be admitted back to school. Any student who is absent 7 or more days in a semester will receive a letter from the Dean’s office and may incur a detention.

TARDIES All students arriving late to school must check into Health/Attendance office with their school ID to sign in and receive a late slip. All tardies are unexcused unless a student brings in a note from a medical or dental office.

EARLY DISMISSALS Students leaving school early must bring a note to the Health/Attendance office before 8:30am to receive an EARLY -OUT slip, which is needed to leave a classroom. Students leaving early will meet their parent in the Health/ Attendance office to be signed out for the day. Only those people listed on the student’s emergency contact list can pick up a student. Parents, please make sure you are listed as your student’s emergency contact as well as anyone you give permission to pick up your child. It is also important to notify the Health/Attendance office if parents leave the student in someone else’s care while they are away. **Once you have completed your 2022-2023 Student Emergency Contact form on the Family Portal you must contact the Registrar’s office at Registrar@chaminade.org with any additions you would like made. If in an emergency, someone other than a parent needs to pick up a student, the attendance office will need the request in writing stating who is picking up and their contact number.

HEALTH OFFICE – Medication Policy The Health Room does not dispense medication. All medication must be submitted in the original container with the student’s name clearly written on it. Medication sent to school in plastic bags, envelopes, etc., will not be accepted. Students may not carry any medication, inhaler, epi-pen, etc., unless authorized by the Dean’s office.

Written authorization from a parent must accompany medication. Request for Medication to be taken During School available in the Health/Attendance office. This policy applies to “over-the counter” as well as prescription medications. Further information about Chaminade’s Health/Attendance Policy and Procedure can be found in the Parent/Student Handbook.

STAR TESTING The Los Angeles Archdiocese administers STAR Assessments in reading and math at all K-8 Catholic schools during three test windows throughout the year. Each STAR Assessment is approximately 30 minutes long. The school uses this standardized test data, along with other data, to make curricular and instructional decisions that support student learning. After each test window, we provide a Google form link in the Chaminade This Week (CTW) weekly newsletter for you to request your child’s scores, which will be emailed to you. In June, parents are mailed a hard copy report of their student’s results on all three rounds of tests. English and math teachers administer tests in class during the test windows listed below. Counselors contact absent students to make-up tests during X block within the testing window.

Window 1: August 22 – September 9, 2022 Window 2: January 9 – February 27, 2023 Window 3: May 1 – May 12, 2023

SUMMER MATH IN ALEKS The ALEKS pie will be available to all current Chaminade students this summer. Rising 6th and 7th graders will have a new summer pie to work on, while 8th graders will work on their existing pie. Research shows that practicing math over the summer will help students’ math performance in the next school year.

BLACKBAUD ID (BBID) All students in grades 6-11 will receive an email from the email address of Chaminade@myschoolapp.com. This email is directing you to convert your current login in the Family Portal (for schedules, grades, etc.) to a new BlackBaud ID (BBID). This is a required change to add another layer of security to our school database. Please follow the directions in that email to complete this process. If you do not currently have your password autosaved for the Family Portal, it is recommended that you do so prior to starting this process. Please complete this process as soon as you receive the abovementioned email to ensure that you will be able to login and receive your grades and 2022-23 student schedules this summer. After July 20th, your current login will no longer access the portal. If you need assistance during the conversion, please email ITHelpDesk@chaminade.org .

Locker Blessing

Opening School Liturgy

Sign Up Now! Would you like to have your locker blessed by our school chaplain, Fr. Mike during the first week of school? This is such a great way to start the year off together and bring some extra blessings your way for the school year. Please sign up using the link HERE.

Save the Date! – Opening School Liturgy August 19, 2022 at 9:45am Fr. Allen DeLong Arts and Athletics Center – All families are invited to attend our opening school Mass to kick off the school year. A small reception will be held immediately afterwards for all parents in attendance.

Blessed William Joseph Chaminade said, “We are all missionaries and we consider ourselves on a permanent mission” witnessing the Good News of Jesus Christ. We carry out this mission not only in the classroom, but equally in our Apostolic Works. The word Apostolic is derived from the root word Apostle, meaning “to be commissioned”. We continue the works of the Apostles by bringing the “good news to the poor and marginalized” as our missionary spirit leads us to give a direct service to them through various methods of outreach. The service projects to both the local and global community will provide our students with the opportunity to reflect upon their call to service through the utilization of their own gifts and talents.

Apostolic Works Requirement 6th grade requires 10 hours 7th grade requires 15 hours 8th grade requires 20 hours Any student who does complete their hours by the final due date will have their Religion class grade drop one full letter grade.

SAVE THE DATE— Service Saturday October 1

Students will sign up to work at various non-profit locations in the Valley. A parent must attend with the student. 3 hours of Apostolic Work credit will be given to those who attend.

Light the Night October 15 A 1.5 mile walk around Warner Center Park to bring awareness and fundraise for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Students who attend will receive 1 hour of Apostolic Works, if a parent walks as well, they will receive an additional hour of service.

Summer Apostolic Works All 7th and 8th graders for the 2022-2023 school year may complete 1/2 of their hours during the Summer months. Students who complete hours must follow the guidelines stated on our Apostolic Works information page found HERE. All hours should be done at a non-profit organization under supervision. After completing the service, students should complete the form HERE to verify the hours, students will NOT enter the hours into Naviance x2vol until returning to school; rather students will turn in their Summer verification form to their Religion teacher during the first week of school. New students to Chaminade (any grade) cannot begin their hours until the start of the school year.

Deadlines to Note Half of the Hours are due by December 12, 2022 All hours must be submitted by May 9, 2023

The goal of our campus-wide activities program is provide opportunities for students to embrace leadership roles and develop positive character traits, explore their gifts and talents, and create lasting memories and friendships. Whether it be an all-student assembly or a specific club, there is something for everyone to enjoy. We offer more than 40 different clubs in the areas of leadership, special interest, and performing arts. Students will be introduced to a variety of program on August 26 at our annual Club Fair.

Marianist Family Spirit is alive within our eight houses as part of our House System. Each student will be a part of a mixed-grade house working towards a common goal throughout the school year, to win the house cup! Students participate in friendly competitions, spirit assemblies, and a spring semester Field Day event. For more information, click on the Student Activities quick-link in the CTW or contact Director of Student Activities, Mrs. Annette Damien at adamien@chaminade.org.

HOUSE MEETINGS AND ADVISORY .

The goal of our House System is to build community across our campus and between grade levels while allowing students to connect with faculty members. Houses meet to begin the week and receive campus communications. Following campus business, smaller grade-level advisory groups participate in character building, life skills development and academic progress checks with an assigned faculty advisor. House meetings and advisory are a required part of the school day.

This Concert Choir is open to all sixth, seventh and eighth grade boys and girls who wish to learn and perform all genres of Choral music. NO AUDITION NECESSARY. All singers do a “vocal check” with Mrs. Rohrs to assess correct vocal placement.

This ensemble rehearses on Mondays and Wednesdays after school at the Student Center from 3:15-4:30pm. Students are expected to maintain good attendance and have a positive attitude. C-Notes share their joy for singing and serve as representatives of our school as well as its choir program.

The C-Notes’ performances include the Chaminade Middle School Open House, Christmas Concert in the High School Tutor Center for the Performing Arts, Community Concert at Mt. St. Mary’s College for the Carondelet Sisters, Spring Concert, and 8th Grade Graduation. Each year, the C-Notes also attend a Vocal Soundtrack Session at Disneyland. This choir competes annually in an “adjudicated Choral Festival” and has consistently earned a “Gold” Ranking. In March 2023, the C-Notes will be traveling to New York to attend a choral festival in Queens College and perform at the prestigious Carnegie Hall. Students are given opportunities to audition for solos throughout the year and may choose to audition to be a select member of the following ensembles: C7 (7-member a cappella group) Chaminotes (Barbershop Boys Quartet) Chaminets (Barbershop Girls Quartet) For more information, please visit www.chaminade.org/ c-notes or e-mail Kathy Rohrs (krohrs@chaminade.org)
