24/7 Free Tutoring for CHISD Scholars
The new tutoring program is part of CHISD’s partnership with Paper, a secure, online tutoring service that provides learners with unlimited, 24/7 academic support. Whether scholars are stuck on homework, studying for a test or need someone to read and make suggestions to their essays, there will always be experts available online to assist scholars in more than 200 subjects and in more than four languages.
Paper is available for scholars in grades 3-12.
This is a free service the district is providing so scholars are encouraged to use it as much as they need, whenever they need.
CHISD teachers also have accounts and will be able to review all scholar activity to see what they’re working on and provide more targeted instruction, as needed.
Paper provides expert review on any written work (essays, creative writing, poetry, lab reports, etc.).
Hundreds of resources and activities to help parents best support their student(s) at home.
Interactive shows and activities to expand learning beyond the classroom.
If you’d like to learn more about Paper you can sign up for a Paper hosted Parent Info Session, available in both English and Spanish. Or if you’d like to speak to a member of the Paper team directly, you can reach them at parents@paper.com.
To see Paper and the help it offers firsthand, please log in with your scholar's credentials. To get started, simply visit PAPER’s student login page, type your school’s name, and log in via Google using your school credentials.
Message from Dr. Lewis
I want to ensure all parents remember the expectation to be apart of the Collegiate Pathway. Scholars should not have behavioral issues, have at least a 98% attendance rate, and work towards ensuring all grades are 85% or higher. As a reminder I am providing our process for being placed on probation from the student code of conduct.
Probation process - Collegiate Prep Elementary
1. A Collegiate Student Review Meeting is held. The Review Committee will include a
building administrator, classroom teacher, and the school counselor/magnet advisor
when appropriate. Parents will be notified in writing about the meeting and will serve
as a member of the committee.
2. The Review Committee will develop an individual probationary plan that addresses the
identified area(s) in which the student did not meet Collegiate expectations. The
purpose of the plan is to assist the student in making improvements in the identified
area(s) and for overall student success in the program. If a student is identified for Tier
2 or Tier 3 intervention support, the committee will consider the RtI plan established by
the intervention team.
3. At the end of each grading cycle, the Review Committee will evaluate the student’s
progress and determine whether to remove the student’s probationary status, extend
the probation, or exit the student from the program.

A MESSAGE FROM THE LIBRARY
This week we resume library checkouts for 2023. We have received most of our books from the Cedar Hill Education Foundation Grant. We have currently added 568 books. We now have an almost full Early Chapter Book section and Graphic Novel Section in the library. We currently have 751 picture books in our collection too! Our library is starting to come together to be a place the scholars love to come every week. I cannot wait to see how excited the kids are about their new books! Thanks for helping keep our library running smoothly and feel free to contact me with any questions!
