Tickets for Friday

Just to remind everyone planning to attend the Homecoming football game tonight. If you do not have a ticket please obtain one prior to attending the game. At this time the Senior High is sold out and the High School only has student tickets left to sell.

Last we heard, again they could be sold out now, a couple of the elementary campuses still had a few adult tickets left.

If the parking lot is full you may ride a shuttle back and forth from Dawson Middle School/Eubanks Intermediate School tonight.

Please consider attending the game if at all possible and help support our wonderful students.

Sophomore Scholarship Available

We have recently been informed of a wonderful opportunity for our Sophomore students. The Texas~Oklahoma Kiwanis Organization is sponsoring a Sophomore of the Year Scholarship.

Please notice the due date that the students should have their completed application back to the school is November 13th. This would be an absolutely wonderful opportunity for our students to take part in a outstanding event.

The application and instructions can be downloaded from http://www.tofoundation.org/ .

Campus Site Based Team

Due to a few minor problems with some individuals schedules CHS is once again in need of 2 members of our Campus Excellence Committee. We need a community business representative and a parent for a 9th grade student. We will meet 1 time every other month (1st Wednesday) for the remainder of the year to guide the decision making process at CHS.

Please notify Mr. Giamanco (GiamancP@cisdmail.com) immediately if you're interested in serving in this volunteer position.

Pink Out Soon

Each year the Dragons rally together to support the fight against cancer. This year, join the Dragons at the PINK OUT volleyball game Tuesday, October 6 or the football game Friday, October 16.

All donations, contributions and matching funds will be given directly to Komen Tarrant County, local affiliates of Susan B. Komen for the Cure.

Be part of the Cure.

Undy 5000...Join Our CHS Staff

In memory of one of our amazing former faculty members, Kelly Williams, the staff at CHS has joined forces for the Undy 5000 walk.

The 5K is at Winfrey Point at White Rock Lake, October 31. Registration opens at 7:30 AM and the race starts at 9:00.

If you are unable to walk with us, it is never too late to make a donation. No amount is too big or too small! We are currently in 4th place for the most money raised!

Go to www.tinyurl.com/undy5000 to donate or join our team.

Student AUP's

I have recently received a report of at least 100 students that have still not turned in their Acceptable Use Policy paperwork from the 1st day packet earlier this year. Parents and students need to be aware beginning on Friday the students will no longer have any computer access at CHS. While this is definitely not something we want to happen to any student at CHS it is necessary as our staff must maintain proper legality for all of our students.

All students have been given additional paperwork and should be aware if there is a problem. If you have additional questions please feel free to contact the school

CEF Culinary Celebration

We would love to encourage everyone to consider participating in the Carroll Education Foundation Culinary Celebration 2009. The event will take place next Sunday, October 4, 2009 from 6-10 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency DFW.

Teacher Web Sites Back Up

CHS is sincerely sorry for the problems that showed up yesterday requiring parents to try to login to the teacher web pages to view information. This was a minor problem that took us a little while to identify but it should be corrected now.

If you have additional problems please continue to notify us and we'll do all we can to make sure the sites work correctly.

Moms In Touch

On behalf of the staff at CHS and myself, I would like to thank this wonderful organization for welcoming us to another successful school year earlier today.

The CHS/CSHS groups meet either on Thursday or Friday mornings and have encouraged others to join them at their meetings.

If you are interested in this group please feel free to contact me here at CHS and I'll be happy to direct you to one of our wonderful parents.

Dragon Alumni

We are extremely excited about the launch of our new website for Carroll graduates. Never before has there been a better opportunity for you to get reconnected with former classmates, keep up-to-date with Carroll ISD news and share your personal and professional success stories with your alma mater. Whether you were a part of that first graduating class so many years ago or a recent college freshman, we want you to know how proud we are of the legacy you have left our little Dragons.

Curriculum Night Successful

We would like to thank all parents for their wonderful attendance at our Curriculum Night on Tuesday, November 8, 2009. While CHS may sometimes be a little busy to find your way, it appeared you were all very successful and had it figured out at the end of the night.

I'd also like to thank our wonderful staff members for spending the evening with us and helping to educate our parents on what will be discussed in class.

If you have any questions please feel free to let us know. We'll be happy to direct you or the question to the correct individual.

GuestAssist at Dragon Stadium

As we approach the upcoming athletic season our athletic director Kevin Ozee and his staff will be putting into place a new GuestAssist System at Dragon Stadium.

This system will enable immediate two way communication with patrons and event administrators as it relates to weather, emergency weather alerts, school updates, or other concerns.

If you have any concerns please contact a staff member and they'll be glad to assist you.

Curriculum Night Tuesday

Please remember Tuesday night at 6 PM will be our CHS Curriculum Night. We look forward to seeing everyone at CHS. We will start our classes at 6 PM with 8 minute classes and 4 minute passing periods.

While our counselors will be available to hand out schedules I would encourage everyone to gather the information from your child earlier for speed at school.

We look forward to seeing you at school. If you have any questions please contact us at your convenience.

Please Help Our Campus Excellence Committee

CHS is currently in need of parents to assist our site based decision making committee.

We need a parent from each grade level to meet and a local business owner to participate for CHS.

The committee will meet every other month on the first Wednesday at 3:45. The meetings will gather for a close to an hour. The committee will gather data and help guide the campus as needed with various decisions.

If you need specific information please contact the school and we'll be happy to provide specific information.
