Cub Connections- CTE
Sept. 25, 2024
News from Principal Schwartz
Dear CTE Families:
I want to remind you about the upcoming Parent-Teacher Conferences at school. We are striving for 100 percent participation from all parents because your presence at these conferences plays a key role in your child’s success. Conferences provide a valuable opportunity for you to connect with your child’s teacher, get an update on how the first couple of weeks have gone, and discuss any areas where additional support might be needed. Your involvement helps us create a stronger partnership, ensuring your child feels supported both at home and in the classroom.
Here’s a quick recap of the details:
Conference Dates: October 10th and 15th, from 4:00 PM to 8:00 PM
Registration Opens: Wednesday, September 25th at 4 pm
Registration Closes: Friday, October 4th, at 10:00 PM
How to Register: Click the red Conference Sign Up link below (available starting 4 pm today)
Attending these conferences is not only a chance to discuss academic performance but also to share insights on your child’s social and emotional well-being. It's a moment to work together to ensure they are thriving in all aspects of school life.
If you have any questions or need help with the registration process, please don't hesitate to contact our main office at 763-792-5300. Our staff is ready to assist with any questions or concerns you may have.
All my best,
Jen

Clothing Donation Request from the Nurse: Accidents happen and sometimes a change of clothing is needed. There is a current need for:
Underwear of all sizes for both boys and girls (especially bigger sizes as older kids tend to not bring a change of clothes in their backpacks).
Pants that are just sweatpants that either a boy or girl could wear, with elastic waist (neutral colors, no zippers, buttons, etc.) for easy slip on and comfort.
If you are able to provide these items please drop them off for the school nurse.
CHS Homecoming Parade: A BIG thank you to all the families that joined us at the CHS Homecoming Parade and helped make this a special memory for the kids!
