You're a beautiful person. Your picture turned out great! If you don't believe me, picture retake day is in October. Today is just a make-up day for students who missed yesterday. I want to emphasize a few expectations. These have been sent to you and your parents numerous times and shared by teachers as well:
- Cell phones are not allowed during instructional time. This is a school expectation and also a state law. To meet this expectation we require students to place their cell phones in caddies at the start of every hour in every classroom.
- Only clear backpacks are allowed in classrooms. Other backpacks must be kept in lockers. This expectation will be strictly enforced in every classroom. For those having trouble fitting your backpack in your locker, you need take things out of the bag in order to make it fit. It will fit.
- Being on time to class is also expected. When you hear the warning bell ring, you must start walking toward class. If you are in line for a drink purchase at the café, you will not be allowed to order after the warning bell.
- We have a Closed Campus:Students are not allowed to leave the school grounds during the school day without permission. You can leave for lunch. Students who leave without permission will be subject to school discipline.
This Friday is Senior Sunrise: Refreshments will be available at 6am near the tennis courts. Fellowship and a picture in the stadium to follow that. Also this Friday - our first home football game. You must have your student ID to enter. Also, if you purchased a Student Activity Card, the icon should have printed on your card. If it did not, you can return to the picture station to have it printed. Go to the main office with questions. Also, backpacks are not allowed into the stadium. Join a Club

I hope that you had a great first day! Remember that today is picture day and all students must get a picture taken and receive a student ID card. You need that card to enter games, leave the lunch room, and more. If you are an Early College or Dual Enrollment student, you need a sticker on your card allowing you to leave early. Stop in the main office with your new card to get that sticker. Travelling students, you need to leave class 4 minutes early to get to your shuttle, or to your class at CV9, on time. Bus riders, make sure you know your route number, so you can find your bus at the end of the day. I want to emphasize a few expectations. These have been sent to you and your parents numerous times and shared by teachers as well:
- Cell phones are not allowed during instructional time. This is a school expectation and also a state law. To meet this expectation we require students to place their cell phones in caddies at the start of every hour in every classroom.
- Only clear backpacks are allowed in classrooms. Other backpacks must be kept in lockers. This expectation will be strictly enforced in every classroom.
- Attendance is important. Detention may be signed for every 4 tardies. And credit may be lost with more than 15 absences. This includes excused, unexcused, 6 minutes late, excused late, and leaving early.

Good morning, this is Mr. Distelrath, Chippewa Valley High School principal. I'm really excited to be starting this school year with you today. It's going to be a great year. Each morning I will begin day with the pledge of allegiance followed by some morning announcements. For the sake of time, some announcements will not be shared over the PA, but will be shared on my Schoology page. See your student email for the access code. You have already received some reminders about our cell phone, backpack, attendance, and closed campus policies, and I will provide additional reminders in the days ahead. For today, please note that the Attendance Office has moved. It is located in the old Principal's Office just past the Counseling Office. Whenever you have an early release, you must stop by the Attendance Office for a pass. Picture day is tomorrow. All students must get their picture taken. You will receive a student ID card, which is required for entry into sporting events, to leave the cafeteria at lunch time, to re-enter the building when returning on a shuttle, to check out books, and more. For today, if you don't have last year's student ID, the schedule that you will receive this hour can be used in its place. It has a barcode for scanning in the lunch room or wherever needed. Again, see your student email for the access code to my Schoology page. There you will see these announcements and more, including how to buy a Cancer Week t-shirt.
