FFA raffle. Tickets are $1 each. Drawing will be held Thursday during the Pancake Supper! Come out and support our FFA! 5:30-7PM, Thursday, Feb. 20th at Channing School.
Parents, we need your help! I am posting pictures of the destruction of our Dumas bus seats and the excessive trash being left on the bus. Students are NOT allowed to eat or drink on the bus. Starting today we will be issuing assigned seating on the Dumas bus. The cost to repair each seat is approximately $1,200. Students also MUST wear their seat belts when riding the bus. Remember, riding the bus is a courtesy and privilege. If students are caught destroying the bus they will lose their bus riding privileges and parents will be charged for the repairs. We want students to take Pride in our school and respect school property. Thank you for your help in this matter.
The Book Fair will be here Next Week! Family Night is Tuesday, Feb. 25th 4PM to 6PM. The book fair will be open before school, during lunch/recess, and after school until 4:20. If you don't want to send cash, you can set up an e-wallet for your child by visiting https://bookfairs.scholastic.com/bf/channingschool
Happy Reading!
"Down the Arm of God" a movie being filmed in Channing completed a scene this afternoon in our gym. The movie should come out sometime next year.
We had a great turnout for Channing 4-H this afternoon. Brandis Beavers talked to our club about what it takes to become a Water Ambassador and the trips she has been on as a Water Ambassador. Then the students played water bingo! To wrap up our meeting, Blaine Dahl presented a program on a drone project called AgriEyes. Both of these programs connect to 4-H and also to post secondary career opportunities. Thank you Brandis and Blaine for presenting at our meeting this afternoon.

Estudiantes y padres de Channing ISD:
Estamos investigando informes de estudiantes que poseen vaporizadores y/o vapean en la escuela. Debido a esto, nos gustaría informarle sobre lo que puede suceder si un estudiante es sorprendido vapeando o está en posesión de un vaporizador en la escuela, en el autobús o en una actividad patrocinada por la escuela.
La 88.ª Legislatura de Texas (2023) realizó cambios al Capítulo 37 del Código de Educación de Texas (el capítulo de disciplina estudiantil) que aborda el vapeo y las escuelas.
SE REQUIERE DAEP: Ahora, cualquier estudiante que sea sorprendido en posesión de un cigarrillo electrónico debe ser colocado en un programa disciplinario de educación alternativa, si hay espacio disponible.
¿Y SI NO HAY LUGAR EN EL DAEP? Si no hay espacio disponible en el DAEP, el estudiante debe ser suspendido dentro de la escuela y luego transferido a un DAEP si hay espacio disponible durante el período disciplinario.
Los estudiantes recibirán tres días de OSS (suspensión fuera de la escuela) antes de cumplir veinte días de DAEP. Cuando un estudiante es asignado a DAEP, la escuela no proporcionará transporte. Es responsabilidad de los padres llevar al estudiante al lugar asignado y recogerlo a tiempo todos los días.
Se llamará a la policía y el estudiante (como mínimo) recibirá una multa, aunque se pueden emitir consecuencias más graves si la situación lo amerita.
Para estudiantes de fuera del distrito, podemos revocar su transferencia.
En Texas, es ilegal que cualquier persona menor de 21 años esté en posesión o use un vaporizador, sin importar si contiene THC, nicotina o cualquier otra cosa. También se está volviendo común que los vaporizadores se recarguen con metanfetamina líquida o incluso fentanilo, y es posible que los estudiantes no se den cuenta de lo que están ingiriendo.
Si a un estudiante se le ofrece un vaporizador, debe informarlo a la oficina de inmediato. Es muy poco lo que podemos hacer después del hecho, por lo que es importante informarlo de inmediato.
Padres, por favor revisen la mochila y las pertenencias de sus estudiantes si sospechan algo. Vapear es grave y puede causar enfermedades pulmonares, cardíacas, cáncer e incluso la muerte.
En la escuela, tenemos derecho a registrar a los estudiantes y sus pertenencias si tenemos motivos para sospechar que están en posesión de un vaporizador.
Gracias por su atención a esto,
Gina Chambers, Directora
Misty Heiskell, superintendente
