Chargers helping Chargers is designed for students to take care of back-to-school tasks and get you ready to begin a new year as a Charger! The back-to-school forms can be completed online. Your proof of residency may also be submitted online and your fines/fees should be paid through Skyward. Parking permits will also be sold online. Administrators, counselors, registrars, and technology reps will be available for those who need help accessing the online features. Booster clubs and various school groups will have spirit gear available to purchase and students can walk the school to prepare for a great year as a Charger.

Because all Back-to-School forms are online, including submission of Proof of Residency, we are asking parents to complete the forms prior to August 7. For anyone who needs assistance completing the forms or needs to utilize CSHS computers, CSHS staff will be available in the library at the following times:

August 8: 12-1pm: 12th graders

August 8: 1-2pm: 11th graders

August 8: 2-3pm: 10th graders

August 8: 5-6pm: 9th graders

Chargers Helping Chargers Day is to:

1. meet the needs of those who aren't able to complete the forms themselves

2. provide opportunities for socializing, organizations to showcase/gain membership/sell spirit wear, meet and greet

3. a way for all of us to connect/reconnect with one another prior to school starting

4. allow students (and parents) to tour the campus before 1st day of school

5. turn in PORs if you didn't submit online

6. Pick up a DRAFT schedule

7. Pick up Parking Permit (11th & 12th grades only)

To reduce wait times, please complete all your Back-to-School forms AND provide a proof of residency in SKyward prior to arrival on August 8 for the Schedule Preview event.

Welcome to the Clear Springs High School family! Whether you are an incoming freshmen or a new student to Clear Springs, you are able to attend this orientation. It is mostly the same information from the parent night in the Spring so you do not need to attend if you attended previously. At this orientation, we will introduce some of the school staff and cover important topics at CSHS.

If you are not able to attend, we will be sending the information out through our weekly emails as well.

The meeting will be August 8 at 6:30pm in the Performing Arts Center. Please enter through the front of the school.

If you are interested in volunteering at CSHS, please complete this form. We believe high school is truly a partnership with our families and we want you to be involved in helping all students learn and grow.

Hi Parents! Your Clear Springs High School PSTA needs your help! Our hard-working teachers have long been back at work helping to prepare for an amazing year for our kids! Please help us show them our appreciation by providing a drink and a snack on their final teacher preparation day on Monday, August 12. Please see the sign up at the link below for details.

Fees:

As we look forward to the start of the 2024 – 2025 school year, CSHS is aligning our campus electronics policy impacting cellphones and earbuds/headphones with other CCISD high schools.

Cell phones and headphones continue to be a major distraction during the instructional period for students. While current district policy allows students to bring their cell phones to school, students at Clear Springs High School are required to put their phones and earbuds/headphones on silent and in a designated area when entering classrooms. Students are not allowed to have cell phones or earbuds/headphones out or in their pockets during instructional periods. Exceptions will be made with a medical note from a doctor and communication with the school nurse.

Chargers are expected to model Core Values at all times. By placing cell phones out of sight, our Chargers can stay actively engaged in their own learning and are demonstrating Responsibility and Respect.

For students who choose not to meet these expectations or who continue to have difficulty avoiding distraction the following consequences will occur and will start over every nine week period:

1st offense: Verbal Warning

2nd offense: Teacher will confiscate cellphone/earbuds/headphones and return at the end of the class period.

3rd offense: Phone turned into front office, $15 fee given and a parent or guardian must pick up the phone. Referral submitted to student's Assistant Principal. The district is not responsible for damaged, lost or stolen equipment or devices per board policy found on page 64 in the CCISD Student Handbook.

Cell phone use in locker rooms and bathrooms is specifically prohibited, as is filming/photographing others without their consent. Failure to meet these expectations will be considered digital citizenship violations and may incur disciplinary consequences for bullying or harassment up to and including placement at DAEP or expulsion.

Please have a conversation with your student(s) to prepare them for when they come back to campus. Remember students will have access to their devices before school, during passing periods, lunch, and after school for necessary communication.

Students in a CTE Specialty off campus course will travel on the first day of school August 14th. An email with travel guidelines and a required form has been emailed to students enrolled in a CTE Specialty off campus course. Students riding the bus to CVHS for Welding, Cosmetology or Certified Nursing will receive additional information by email with the bus route #, times and pick up location prior to the first day of school.

Email Lsmith@ccisd.net if you have any questions regarding an off-campus travel.
