Homecoming Game Tickets

As expected, we are expecting homecoming game tickets for the home side are to be sold out sometime today. We currently have a small number of home side tickets, 150, still available at CHS for adults. Please remember these could be sold out today.


Once home side tickets are completed fans can still purchase visitor side tickets online or at the Dragon Stadium. As of this morning, we have approximately 2500 visitor tickets. However, all visitor side tickets purchased online or at the stadium must sit on the visitor side. There is no cross-over and security will monitor this very close. The tickets are marked for visitor side and anyone leaving the stadium will have a color coded stamp to indicate home or visitor side.
 
Thank you and see you on Friday night at Dragons Stadium.

Curriculum Night Tonight

We hope to see all parents at CHS tonight for Curriculum Night. We will begin the classroom activities at 6:00 PM. If you need a schedule those will be available through our counselors. In addition, several students will be located throughout the building to provide directions.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing all of our parents tonight.

Attention All Freshmen Families

With the start of the 2011-2012 school year we will be implementing our new Texas EOC testing for all freshmen students. Later in the semester we will provide a parent information session to distribute more information and data regarding the district policy for this test.

Below is a link you may view for EOC information for parents to review.

Please feel free to contact CHS if you have any questions.

Curriculum Night on Horizon

Curriculum nights are scheduled at CHS each year during the first few weeks of school. This activity is designed for parents only (no students please). The meeting provides teachers with an important opportunity to visit with parents about grade-level and course curriculum, as well as classroom expectations. While we'd certainly love to sit and talk one on one with each parent we are limited in time. Please schedule those conferences individually with each teacher. We look forward to visiting with our wonderful parents on September 6, 2011 from 6:00 to 7:32 PM.

Please remember we tend to see about 1000 people arrive on a campus with limited parking. If you're concerned with finding a parking spot please arrive early. In addition, some people certainly will try to use DIS for parking, provided they do not have an event being planned.

We hope to see everyone soon.

Thank You CHS Dragons

Can you say amazing! We have said it a hundred times at CHS today. Our kids were amazing, our staff was amazing, and our parents were amazing. Today quite possibly might have been the best first day we've ever seen at CHS. You can't ask for a better place to spend every single day.

This DRAGON campus can't stop smiling.

First Day Procedures

On Monday students please follow these procedures to start your day:
 
1.       If a student KNOWS that he/she is in a 1st block class that meets at CSHS (i.e., a sophomore in basketball) the student should go to that class even though the class is not at CHS. This will include athletes and drill team students, etc.
 
2.       Coaches/directors, etc., will allow 1st block students to leave early enough after 1st block so that they can get to CHS in time to get their official schedule (on pink paper) from the gym at CHS. 
 
3.       For students who receive their official pink schedule at CHS and learn that their first block class is at the other school (i.e., freshman who are taking French I 1st block at CSHS), the student will remain at CHS for 1st block - students will go to the cafeteria area.
 
4.       Teachers, will use pink schedules as official schedules for students on the first and second day of school. 

Good luck Dragons as we approach 2011-2012 school year and call if you have questions.

Welcome Teachers

CHS was so happy to experience all of our teachers today. We started the day off with convocation at CSHS and finished with a staff development at CHS. We are so lucky to have such a respected bunch of teachers and cherish them daily.

If you want a good laugh, and yes we know it is blurry, check out the flash mob at convocation this morning.

Flash Mob

Welcome to 2011 and 2012.

First Day is Amazing

While I'm watching our new Freshmen tour CHS and visit with each other I'm amazed again at how wonderful CHS is and the kids we have every single day. I have seen our Sophomores visit in the morning, our new students eat lunch at noon, and our Freshmen work through our Fish camp and pep rally all with smiles amazing to every person that passes. Thank you Dragons.

I'd also like to thank all of our parents for visiting CHS today to help with schedules, clothing and general assistance. A principal can't ask for more than our parents provide, you're our greatest assistance every day.

On-line Registration Open

Parents we would encourage you soon to login to your family access location and begin the on-line registration experience. As of our first day, CHS had 66 registrants and we would love to see that number double or triple today. Please do this soon so you can begin the process for your child and avoid many of the hand written forms later.

If you have questions feel free to phone CHS and we'll do all we can to assist.

Online Registration on Horizon

We hope your summer is off to a wonderful start! Thank you for an amazing school year at CHS. We have reviewed the Voice of the Dragon Survey and appreciate all of the positive comments. We are proud of the continuing improvement at CHS. We strive to be better each year and believe the comments of our families certainly assist in this process. As always, we will share the results with our teachers and staff in August.


We want to update you on the online registration that CISD will be conducting for 2011-2012 for all returning students. If you have a returning student, email Tracy Witt at tracy.witt@southlakecarroll.edu for CHS with the name of each student, grade, parent name and email address by June 30th. Then, later in the summer you will receive a CISD email with a user name and password that will give you access to the registration process. We expect returning students to begin registration on August 1st.

If you have questions about this process or anything else regarding the next school year, we are available during the summer P.J. Giamanco's email is pj.giamanco@southlakecarroll.edu

We look forward to seeing all Dragons in August at CHS!

Enjoy your break!

Relay for Life

We are still looking forward to our event tonight and certainly hoping the rain will hold off. The Rachels Ralley and event will begin at 7:00 PM in the gymnasium.

We look forward to seeing everyone at CHS.

Dragons at State

We would like to congratulate Kelley Anderson on her second place finish at the State UIL Tennis Championships. To see a freshmen finish this high at the state event is amazing. Way to go Kelley!

In addition, we would wish our Dragon Golfers good luck at the state golf tournament begininning Thursday morning in Austin. The Dragons are prepared for a first place finish at this tournament and we are hoping for another state championship.

Game Over Presentation

Parents, please be aware CHS will be using Thursday and Friday, May 12 and May 13, to present our Game Over presentation to our students. This event will include a mock drunk driving car accident on May 12 and an assembly on May 13. The assembly will include a video presentation of the accident and an individual speaking on the consequences of drunk driving on her family.

If your child could have concerns with either of these presentations please contact the school at your earliest convenience. This presentation is certainly impactful on our kids, unfortunately drunk driving could have impacted one of our students previously and we do not want them to be impacted additionally with this presentation.
