It is helpful for parents to follow their student's progress via ParentVue. ParentVue includes a variety of ways to monitor student attendance, overall grades, and scores on individual assignments. If you need help accessing this resource, our office team can connect you with support. In addition, students can access a variety of resources through Google Classroom. If you are curious about what your student is studying, ask to see their Google Classroom.
This week in Homeroom, 10th-12th graders will be reviewing transcripts. Transcripts are an important part of a student's academic record. During this time, students will be examining their progress according to their selected diploma type. CHS 9th graders will be learning about the differences between high school and middle school grades, the earning of credits and the building an academic transcript.
We look forward to opening these important conversations with students. If you have questions about your student's academic progress, CHS Academic Counselor, Ms. Pekny, is a great resource!
Thank you to all of the musicians who turned for the CHS Pep Band Friday night. Nothing can match the energy a pep band brings to the game experience!
