Parent/Guardian NEWSLETTER
Good afternoon! I want to congratulate the Electric Blues on their strong performance this yesterday at their competition at Wylie High School. The dance team claimed multiple first places at the competition. Additionally, I want to wish good luck to the Girls' Varsity Basketball team as they compete in the Regional Semi-final playoff game tomorrow. The common scholarship application for seniors will be made available beginning tomorrow. If you have questions do not hesitate to contact me. Our 9th and 10th grade students will take their English Benchmarks on Wednesday, February 19th. Bells will be off throughout the duration of testing. Finally, I hope each of you stay warm this week.
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. I need your help with attendance as our campus attendance for this school year is well below where it has been historically.
Dr. Notes: As we get further into our year, I need parents and guardians help in ensuring that our students turn in Dr. notes when they have Dr. appointments. If a student goes to an appointment and comes back the same day, or their appointment is at the end of a day, they can supply a Dr.’s note so the absence is excused. Dr. notes can be emailed to Ms. Moes or faxed to 254-836-1418.
Counselor Information: Please visit the counseling and guidance page on the high school website: CSHS Counseling Website (Senior Hub)
