West Nile Announcement

The City of Southlake will be holding a special meeting Monday evening, August 27, to discuss the possibility of aerial spraying for mosquitos. This is in response to Denton County’s decision to spray to help prevent the spread of West Nile Virus. A portion of the City of Southlake is in Denton County. To date, Southlake has had six cases of West Nile Virus, all affecting individuals who are elderly or have pre-existing conditions or weakened immune systems. The City has a story posted toMySouthlakeNews.com and is working jointly with Carroll ISD to help educate the public. Remember to spray your children with approved DEET mosquito repellants before they go out to bus stops and/or outdoors. While wearing long sleeves and pants to school may not be practical in August/September, parents are encouraged to protect students during after school activities and from dusk to dawn as necessary. Parents may send non-aerosol sprays or replleant wipes to the nurse’s office with instructions to re-spray students before after-school or outdoor activities. At this point, CISD will not alter outdoor activities or evening eventsbecause risks are minimal if personal protections are in place. The district is treating CISD property with briquettes from the city staff, but the district will not be handing supplies of DEET out to students. We are minimizing standing water where mosquitos might gather and will work cooperatively with the city to wipe down playground equipment should aerial spraying be approved. Secondary students bring repellant from home in their gym bags for evening competitions and outdoor events, but parents are asked not to give the repellant to younger children to spray themselves. This will help protect those students who are asthmatic and could react negatively to extensive sprays in the learning classroom.

Volunteers Needed

CHS parents we are in desperate need for more assistance with handing out schedules on Monday morning at CHS. Please email Mr. Giamanco at pj.giamanco@southlakecarroll.edu to confirm you interest in helping. Currently we have 8 parents and we need 24.

Think about the love of seeing all these wonderful students getting ready for Day 1 at CHS. Now that you've thought about it, you must take part and see it happen.

Traffic Change...Please Review

Due to recent construction there will be a few changes to our traffic patterns at CHS. We would certainly like for all parents and students to review the link below from our campus webpage. This will be essential for us to make the transition sooner at CHS.

We certainly believe the changes will produce safer exits for all students and parents at CHS.

Traffic Pattern Review

Schedule Pick Up Reminder

Please remember on sophomore schedule pick up and on fish campus students can only pick up their own schedules.  Students and parents ofent ask if they could pick up/see a schedule of another student, this is certainly a confidentiality issue. In addition, parents may pick up schedules for their own student if their student isn't able to come.

Thank you and see you on the 17th.

Dragon Named Regional Winner

Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program has recognized former Carroll High School Sophomore Tori Pimentel for her outstanding volunteer efforts. The Kohl’s Cares Scholarship Program seeks to recognize and reward young volunteers between the ages of 6 and 18 who help better their communities, making them a better place to live. Pimentel won a $50 Kohl’s gift card after being named a Store Winner, and a $1,000 scholarship to be used towards post-secondary education after being named a Regional Winner.

As of today, Pimentel has raised over $24,000 to donate to U.S. Soldiers and their families. Congratulations to Tori for this amazing recognition.

Dragon Fish Camp and Sophomore Schedules 2012

While we are in the middle of construction at CHS we also felt it would be appropriate to begin to embark on the 2012-2013 school year and remind everyone of our start of school events.

Sophomores will begin our process at 10:00 AM, August 17, 2012. CHS will be handing schedules out at 10:00 and will continue doing so until 11:30. We would love to see all of our Dragons back at CHS to distribute these items.

Freshmen students will start Friday, August 17, 2012, in the afternoon at 1:00 PM with a reduced Fish camp. We will hand out schedules and provide tours of CHS. The event will be slightly less this year due to construction, but we do feel we will be able to answer many questions for our students. While we absolutely love our parents, this is student only event. The event is not mandatory but certainly a great way for our students to get used to everything on campus.

If you have questions please feel free to call CHS. SEE YOU in August!
