Parent/Guardian NEWSLETTER
Good morning! I hope that everyone had a good weekend. On Thursday, September 12th, the first six week reporting period ends, and progress reports will be available through parent portal on Monday, September 16th. If a student is failing at the six week mark they will be ineligible to participate in any extracurricular activity beginning on September 19th. If you have questions regarding grades do not hesitate to contact the teachers. Also, if you have a 9th-11th grade student there is information regarding the PSAT school day test, and if you have a senior the SAT School day testing link is included. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me. Finally, CSHS is not accepting food delivery service orders this school year. Most people have followed the rules, but there are a handful that have not and we have turned the delivery driver away. Thank you for your support in this endeavor. Parents or guardians are the only people who can deliver food for their student(s).
Progress Reports: I want to share the following information with all parents so that everyone has it. Due to the CSISD moving to 9 week grading periods (quarters), we have to release progress reports every three weeks. This first grading period (1st Quarter) there has to be a six week grade check for eligibility. This week marks the end of the six week grading period. Progress reports will be available on Monday, September 16th, and a student could lose eligibility on September 19th. If you have specific questions regarding your student(s)’ grades contact the classroom teachers. If you have questions regarding this policy contact me.
Attendance Information: If your student has been out sick, or they will miss for another reason please contact Ms. Ema Moes, CSHS Attendance Clerk. Students can have up to four parent notes per semester. One absence = one parent note. If you have questions do not hesitate to email Ms. Moes.
PSAT and SAT: Beginning this week, 9th- 11th Grade students can sign up for the PSAT School Day Test on October 16th. They will scan the QR code, located outside the Counseling Center. The cost of the test is $20 and can be paid in the Counseling Center. Seniors are eligible for the School Day SAT Exam. This test will be held on October 23rd, and is free to seniors. Please follow this link to register: SAT School Day Link. If you have questions do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Vanessa Hopkins.
AP Students: The AP payment window is now open! If your student is enrolled in an AP course please be sure you have paid for their exam by Monday, Sept. 23rd.

Senior Parents: China Spring High School will host a Senior Parent Meeting on Wednesday, October 2nd. The meeting will begin at 5:30 pm, in the CSHS Cafeteria. We will go over important information for senior parents and guardians.
The counselors visited senior classes this week to show students where to locate important information regarding scholarships, testing information, and transcript request forms. We also wanted to share this information with parents! Please visit the counseling and guidance page on the high school website: CSHS Counseling Website (Senior Hub)
