Parent/Guardian NEWSLETTER
Good afternoon! This is a busy week at China Spring High School. Tomorrow, February 24th, progress reports will be available through Parent Portal. If you have questions regarding your student(s)' grades do not hesitate to contact the teachers. On Wednesday, February 26th, 9th grade students that are enrolled in Algebra 1 will take a benchmark test. Bells will be off throughout the test. Also, on Wednesday and Thursday, we will have a handful of students taking the TELPAS exam in the library. The bells will be off during the test. If your student is interested in Dual Credit for the fall of 2025 the registration process will begin this week with Mrs. Harvey going into World History and English III classes. Finally, this Thursday night, February 27th, there will be a Class of 2025 After Prom Parent Meeting in the high school library. I encourage everyone who is willing to help to attend the planning meeting. The meeting will begin at 5:30 pm.
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.
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.
Class of 2025 Common Scholarship Application: The CSHS Common Scholarship Application is available to all CSHS seniors. These scholarship packet has been emailed to all seniors and will be attached to this email as well. Completed applications will be due on Thursday, March 20th, at 3:30 pm in the counseling center. Students need to read all instructions carefully, so that there applications can be considered for each scholarship. If you have questions regarding the packet email Mrs. Candi Allen.
Class of 2025 Cap and Gown Orders: Herff-Jones will be on campus Tuesday, February 25th, at lunch in the commons, for students to pick-up their caps and gowns if they ordered already.
