Donate books for National English Honors Society
The National English Honors Society is continuing to collect books for our ongoing book drive, which we donate to the elementary schools in our area!

Writing Center is OPEN at CHS--students, come get help!
The Writing Center is open! Come to the Media Center before school or during the second half of lunch to get help with essays, lab reports, short stories, or any other writing that you have!
Lunch information
MEALS: Meal prices have not changed for students this school year. LINQ Connect is CCSD School Nutrition’s system for accepting online payments into your child's meal account and for listing menu items, nutritional info and allergens. The money you had left in your child's meal account at the end of last school year remains in your account for use this school year. If you haven't already created an account, you can set up a LINQ Connect account online here or by downloading the app; it's a simple process - you will need your children's student IDs (number they use to purchase meals in the cafeteria). You can continue to send checks or cash to your child's school for their meal account. The free and reduced price meal application also is available through LINQ Connect.
If you'd like to DONATE to help students and families who need help with lunch debt, please use the ONLINE DONATION LINK or print and turn in the hard copy found HERE.

Parking and Pickup/Dropoff Reminders and Transportation Information
Dropoff and Pickup Reminders
I want to share a few important reminders with everyone regarding pick up and drop off and student driving and parking at CHS. We want to ensure everybody's safety, and having our parents and student drivers follow these guidelines will help us do that. We appreciate your cooperation as we look to keep everybody safe as they come and go from CHS each day.
1. Before/After school drop-off and pickup is only allowed in the front drivethrough areas of CHS Main and CHS North. Drop offs or pickups are not allowed in any of our parking lots or at Boling park. Furthermore, the access road that runs behind CHS Main will be closed and off limits to traffic until after 4:00 each day.
Please also note that all check outs and check in for the attendance office are at CHS Main, so if students need to check in late or check out early, that will need to occur at CHS Main. Please plan ahead for the time it may take if your student is at North when you come to check them out.
Students may NOT exit the pickup areas to enter vehicles in parking lots on or Hwy 5. Students need to wait in the designated area until their car pulls up for pickup. Parents: Please do not encourage your students to leave the pick up area early, which can be dangerous for them and for others.
2. Student drivers need to park in their designated area and need to follow all school rules and local driving laws. Student drivers need to watch their speed and need to stay safe at all times. This goes for all CHS lots, including those in Boling Park. Students and parents, please be reminded that the CCSD parking pass is a privilege, and students who break the code of conduct in any way dealing with driving/parking are subject to fines, towing, and revocation of parking privilege. This includes skipping class/leaving without checking out properly, so students and parents please be sure that students only leave when they have secured the proper permissions.
Reminder: Students are NOT allowed to park in Boling Park unless they have purchased a pass for the CHS Boling lot (adjacent to baseball/softball fields). Students without a CHS parking pass who park in other areas of Boling park are subject to law enforcement action from City of Canton.
Thank you all for your attention to these matters, and thank you all for working with us toward ensuring that our Warriors stay safe as they come and go to and from our campuses each day!
New procedure for dropping off items--USE THE CART
We will have a new procedure for dropping off items for students this year that will save time and help us keep a safe, secure, and focused learning environment.
If you are dropping off materials for your student (book, form, instrument, sports equipment, lunch NOT from outside restaurants etc...), you will no longer need to enter the attendance or front office. We will have a cart out front where you can drop your item and tag it for your student. Our staff will retrieve it periodically and be sure it gets to your student. Save time in line, drop your delivery, and get on with your day!
Bus information
BUSES: The Bus Stop Look-Up website is open so you can check your child's bus stop times for pick up and drop off. The Versatrans My Stop Bus Tracking System website and app, which allow you to track your child's bus on its way to the bus stop each morning and afternoon, will begin working when buses roll on Thursday, Aug. 1.
