TAKS Testing Day 1

Please remember tomorrow is our first day of 10th grade TAKS testing for English Language Arts.

We have a unique situation on this campus because 9th graders do not test tomorrow. If you have a 9th grader, they can arrive as late as 12:30 PM on Wednesday. If a 9th grader arrives at their usual reporting time, he/she will have the opportunity to study or read in the cafeteria. Busses will run on their regular schedule and four and a half hours later for the late arrival.

CHS will maintain a schedule after testing with all four classes meeting during the last two hours with the exception of no shuttle busses running. We will not release a student during testing for appointments and encourage all students to be here the rest of the day for all classes. If you have questions please feel free to contact CHS.

GT Referrals Coming

CHS will be accepting GT referrals until March 23, 2012 with a possible testing date of April 14, 2012, if necessary.  Please review our campus webpage for the form to complete.

Cure for Drew

We were so lucky to have Drew at CHS earlier this week during his treatment. His arrival did come on a day we wore our Cure for Drew t-shirts at CHS. See below and please stop by CHS to pick up a shirt.

UIL State Swimming and Diving Champions

Congratulations to both our girls and boys teams on this amazing accomplishment. Last we heard we also believe our boys scored the top score ever for the championship.

WAY TO GO DRAGONS!

In this latest launch, let me draw your attention to a wonderful feature story about a CHS sophomore student who just became Miss Teen Southlake 2012. Another student writes about taking her first flying lesson. A student writes about deciding to attend college in Scotland. And there’s a news story forecasting possible changes for next year’s homecoming dance.


Hope you enjoy this latest launch of student work.

Cure for Drew

CHS is proud to work with Drew Ducatelli to sell the Cure for Drew shirts. Please stop by CHS to pick one up. Proceeds will benefit Drew's Relay teams.

Southlake Youth Art in the Square

We would like to encourage our high school students to partake in a world class event through their artwork showcased in Southlake’s Youth Art in the Square.—Entry Deadline is March 30, 2012.

Sophomores and National Honor Society

Now that mid-year grades are finalized at CHS, the NHS advisor is starting to determine who is eligible for the National Honor Society.  Those eligible students will be sent a congratulatory letter at CHS indicating their eligibility based on scholarship alone.  Candidates will be given the opportunity to submit an information packet demonstrating the remaining criteria for National Honor Society membership, but eligibility does not guarantee membership! 

If a student feels they are eligible and do not receive a letter after distribution, please speak to Ms. Cross.  It is your responsibility to be aware of the deadlines that are posted on the NHS website.  Students who do not turn in their information packets by the deadline will not be eligible to join NHS this year.

Good luck Dragons!
