CHS Update August 15, 2024

Semester 1

Pumas,

We loved seeing our Pumas back on campus this week. Thank you Pumas for making our first and second day of the 24/25 school year a success. This week Pumas spent time in each period:

Learning about their teachers
Participating in classroom community building activities
Learning more about Puma PRIDE and what it means to be a PUMA
Understanding safety procedures and protocols
Getting familiar with other schoolwide expectations & procedures

Reviewing these topics with all students schoolwide will help them have a successful start of the year. Some of the videos and slideshows of these lessons are included in this newsletter.

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 2024, 2025, 2026 & 2027 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!

Student Devices

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.

Textbooks

If you missed Puma Prep Days, you can still pick up your textbooks in the library this week before or after school 8:00- 8:30 or 3:30 - 4:00. You can also come to the library during break and lunch.

Morning Drop Off Reminders

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.
