MUSTANG MINUTE

The Mission of Chugiak High School: Inspire Students. Excel Academically. Strengthen Community.

******************************************************************************************************

Now that we are three weeks into the school year, parents should verify that their students have a working Chromebook. Ask them to show you that they can access Canvas, the online platform teachers use to post assignments, announcements, and other important class information. Secondly, have them access Student Connect, then from there the Assignments tab. This is where graded assignments, and overall grades can be found.

A few reminders about ASD issued Chromebooks:

• Students and families are responsible for the care and appropriate usage of the devices.
• If your Chromebook is damaged or not working properly, please bring it to the library for repair or replacement.
• Replacing a device costs $225.
• Fines for damaged Chromebooks will vary.
• If your student needs a Chromebook, they need to report to the library to have one issued.

Sincerely,

Andrew Baalerud, M.Ed.

If you have not picked up your 2023-2024 yearbook yet, please do so immediately. You can email handeland_mackenna@asdk12.org if you or your student is no longer enrolled at Chugiak, otherwise current students can stop by room 204 to pick it up. Books not picked up by September 3rd will be resold to students on the waitlist.

Thank you to everyone who signed up for the waitlist to get a 2024 yearbook. We have sold all of our few extra copies to the students in the class of 2024 who were on the waitlist before school ended in May. Starting next week, we will reach out to students who are class of 2025, 2026, and 2027 in the order they signed up and offer to sell them one of the "abandoned" books. If you receive an email or a phone call, please be prepared to pick up your book and complete your payment within three business days, so that we can move down the waitlist if you no longer want or need a book.

The 2025 Yearbook is now for sale online! Go to yearbookforever.com to purchase. Avoid heartbreak and purchase now. We expect to sell out again this year.

The staff has an awesome theme chosen and is excited to announce it soon. This year's book will be our biggest yet, and will include a spring delivery with a fall supplement that covers spring sports and activities, as well as graduation.

The updated school store now also has an option to donate a yearbook more easily. If you would like to donate a yearbook to a student in need, check out yearbookforever.com and search for "Chugiak" to get more details.

Drama, Debate, and Forensics will have an informational meeting on Wednesday, August 28th at lunch to compare schedules and determine our practice times for the 2024-2025 season. Our first practices will begin the week of September 3rd. Chugiak is hosting the first tournament of the season, on September 27-28th!

Please complete your golden ticket process through planeths.com if you are ready to get the season started! Questions?
