State Notices

The letter below was posted by Coach Ozee in regard to the State Championship game:

...do not for any reason park in the Wal-Mart parking lot. It seems that last week at the 3A game someone was dressed as a parking attendant and directed traffic into the Wal-Mart lot. Many cars were towed. Even if the parking attendant appears legitimate, don’t fall for it. Please see the parking advisory below from the City of Arlington. Also, please allow yourself plenty of time to park and exit the stadium as we are expecting huge crowds for all three games.


CISD will be on the North side of Cowboys Stadium. This is the Randol Mill Rd. side of the stadium. Aledo is the 12:00pm game and is also on the North side.

As I mentioned at booster club last Monday, the UIL and Cowboys Stadium controls every aspect of the operations for Saturday’s games. The security in and around the stadium will be increased as large crowds are expected.


If you have any questions regarding Saturday, feel free to shoot me an email at kevin.ozee@southlakecarroll.edu and either myself or one of our staff members will try to find an answer for you as soon as possible.

Take care and see you Saturday,


KO

Holiday Happenings

We had the wonderful opportunity to meet with a couple of families this morning asking about providing some holiday decorations to the CHS office. Before accepting these decorations we felt it would be appropriate to mention this for our entire school community.

If you have holiday decorations and would like to provide these to CHS during the upcoming or current holiday season we'd love to accept them. Please feel free to bring them to CHS at your convenience. If there are specifics for our using them please let us know as we want to honor each part of our community and all cultural needs.

Chinese Video Posted

Please take a moment to see our Mandarin class video. The video is posted for a competition they won last year. It's amazing to see what our kids can do when given the freedom to try.

Homecoming Notice

Parents and students as you know our Homecoming Dance will be next Saturday, October 29th at the Gaylord. This is a special event and is a school sponsored event and as such students are expected to abide by the student code of conduct. We all are looking forward to this special night and want all students to have a great time. Each year we have anywhere from 1800-2200 students that attend the HC Dance. With this in mind we need your help, please reiterate to your student we want them to have an awesome time and to dress and dance appropriately.

As you can imagine dances have changed just a bit since many of us attended these many years ago just as the music and style of dance has changed. We are and will remind kids to have a great time but please don't dance in a way that is inappropriate. The last thing we want to do is to embarrass them by having to ask them to stop or ultimately to leave.

If you would like to see a little bit of comedy form our CSHS students please watch this KCBY video.

Parents we would love to have you come out and chaperone the dance which starts at 7:30 and concludes at midnight. If you interested in chaperoning please contact either principal so we can add you to our list.

Diving Success

The CISD diving program was notified Lauren Crown a sophomore and Bryce Klein a junior have been chosen to attend the Diving Olympic Trials June 17-24 in Seattle, Washington for the 2012 Olympics. Lauren and Bryce are among the youngest to qualify. We are the only school district that has both male and female diver. There are only 35 boys and 35 girls who are chosen in the country. Out of those, 5-7 are in high school, the rest are in college.


This is such an honor for our athletes and CISD is so proud of their hard work and commitment.
