Your teachers will be using their Canvas classroom. You will see tiles in Canvas for each of your scheduled courses. This week, you will also find a Puma Pride Class of 2025, 2026, 2027 & 2028 tile on your Canvas page. The Class tiles will be used during intervention and will also be used as communication for students and parents in each grade level. Login and check it out!

Canvas Troubleshooting Tips for Students

Please make sure to bring a fully charged device and a compatible charger each day. Students will continue to use apps and Canvas at various times while in class.

You can bring your own device to campus. Please do so under the BYOD policy. BYOD Tips (Click Here).

If you do not have a device to bring to school and have not already checked one out from the library, please come to the library before or after school (8:00 - 8:30 and 3:30 - 4:00). If you need technical support or login information, please email Mrs. Fraitag at kfraitag@tvusd.us.

All clothing must meet the TVUSD Dress Code Policy.

Here are some guidelines and tips from our updated TVUSD Dress and Grooming Policy (AR 5132)

CHS is looking forward to inspiring, supporting, and fostering the learning experiences that your child will have this year. As always, we appreciate our partnership with you as we begin the 2024-2025 school year.

Cell phones and earbuds are NOT allowed to be out in classrooms during targeted instructional time. This continues to be a schoolwide expectation. This will help improve student attention and focus in class. Electronic devices, cell phones and earbuds must be put away and not visible during class instruction unless specifically directed by the classroom otherwise. There is no recording (video or sound) in the classroom, office areas, bathrooms or locker rooms. Please see the slide presentation near the top of the newsletter for more information. This information was reviewed with students during the first week of school.

School begins promptly at 8:30 am. Please plan ahead and allow for traffic.

If you are dropping off in the student parking lot, please use the entrance on Nicolas Rd., drop off along the curb, and exit out through the Winchester Rd. exit (near the pool). The parking lot exit gate on Nicolas closes at 8:00 am. Trying to exit out of the gate on Nicolas after 8:00 am will cause delays and a backup to our morning traffic flow.

Other drop off areas include the visitor lot loop (no parking) and in the back loop near the stadium / entry from Roripaugh. Please DO NOT enter, park or drop off in the staff lot in the back.

Students are expected to park in their assigned spots starting this week.
