As we approach Thanksgiving week, we want to express gratitude for sharing your most precious gifts. Your children are wonderful, and we feel truly fortunate to have the opportunity to serve them. Wishing you a restful Thanksgiving week!

The library will be closed for a district-required inventory from November 18th to November 22nd. During this time, the library will not be accessible, including checkouts, returns, and in-person visits.

This Thursday, November 21st during Comm Arts lunch, we’re excited to celebrate Turkey Fest! Many of our awesome campus organizations and student groups will be serving up some delicious food. Just a quick note: you’ll need to bring cash to buy your goodies, so make sure to plan ahead.

Grades will be collected this Friday, November 22nd, for progress reports. Students, please keep track of your grades and attendance. Progress reports will be available via HAC on Monday, December 2nd.

Comm Arts held a mini Spelling Bee last Wednesday. Dana Cifuentes won the Spanish Spelling Bee and will represent us at the district competition on December 4th at the Northside Activity Center. Lincoln Smith took second place, and Sebastian Lopez earned third place. All the participants were outstanding; they even had a few rounds with no eliminations! Thank you, Mrs. Navarro, for hosting this event.

Our yearbook just sold over 100 yearbooks as of this week! Thank you for all of the support from our Comm Arts family! Follow @cahs.yearbook on Instagram for any future updates.

Last week in AP World History, sophomores embarked on an exciting journey through time as they delved into the adventurous lives of famous explorers. From the high seas to uncharted territories, students uncovered the thrilling tales of discovery and adventure that shaped our world!

Congratulations to Madissyn Harris on her commitment to playing soccer at St. Mary's University. We enjoyed attending her signing ceremony last Friday.

Adobe Creative Suite Software at Home for Personal Devices

ComArts CTE students, please remember that you can download and install Adobe Creative Suite software onto your personal laptops and computers (not Chromebooks) for FREE using your NISD student login credentials. Use the attached instructions for guidance. Keep in mind that the Adobe software version installed at home will be a newer version than what is available at school. Please get in touch with your Communications teacher (Cleveland, Villarreal, Sabogal, or Flores) if you have questions.

The CAHS counselors will meet with Juniors during their English 3 AP classes this week. Students will engage in post-secondary planning using the College Board career exploration Quiz.

The Season of Giving Thanks

As the season of thanksgiving continues, we are reminded that the small moments of our day-to-day interactions with our CAHS students and community members are valuable, powerful, and appreciated. We are grateful for the opportunity to be part of your journey.

The Power of Gratitude

Here is a fun-filled activity for you to do to help you express your gratitude and appreciation for family and friends.

The Dual Credit Program allows eligible students, grades 9-12, to take college-level courses at no cost and earn college credit through Northwest Vista College while concurrently enrolled in the equivalent high school course. Students can earn up to 42 college credits that may be transferred to Texas public colleges and universities and some private and out-of-state universities.

All students interested in the Dual Credit Program for the FIRST time next school year must complete the Dual Credit Interest Google form. This form will be shared soon. Completing this Google form does NOT qualify a student for dual credit enrollment but simply indicates an interest.

Attend BigFuture® Scholarships Week to learn the best strategies to plan for life after high school—and to hear the inside scoop on qualifying for monthly scholarship drawings.

Students can request a fee waiver directly from College Board. Eligible students can receive SAT fee waiver benefits by logging in to their College Board account and submitting a request. Learn more on the College Board website.

Thank you to everyone who signed up and paid for their AP exams. At this point, if you wish to sign up for an exam, there is an additional $40 late fee. Each exam cost $40. Those with free & reduced, exam costs are $10.

Reminder: All My School Bucks School Store products will be disabled during NISD's Winter Break and Spring Break
