Carroll High School Weekly Community Newsletter

Message From The Principal

Hello Tiger Family,

As we hit our stride this second semester, I want to express how excited we are about the amazing things our Tigers accomplished over the past weekend and week as our winter activities heat up! We witnessed wonderful performances and great games in various tournaments, which truly reflect the hard work and dedication of our faculty, staff, coaches, and, most importantly, our students.

This week, we have an adjusted schedule due to testing, so please take a look at the block schedule that starts tomorrow.

As always, thank you for your continued support. We are here for you, and I hope you have a great week ahead!

Your Proud Principal,

Mr. Arredondo

❄️ Dress Code Reminder: No Blankets Allowed! 🧣

As the weather gets colder, we know students may want to bring blankets to stay warm. However, blankets are not allowed on campus due to district dress code guidelines. 🛑

To keep everyone in compliance, we will be strictly enforcing the dress code. If a student is out of dress code, they will be sent to ISS until a change of clothes can be provided.

🔑 Common Violations to Avoid:
🚫 No crop tops or midriff-baring shirts (jackets can’t be used to cover them).
🚫 No BLANKETS, pajama pants, or slippers.
🚫 Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be no more than a dollar bill’s length above the knee.

🐾 Take Advantage of Tiger Time Tutoring! 📚

Parents, did you know that our teachers provide tutoring sduring Tiger Time to help students succeed? This is an incredible opportunity for your child to get the support they need to improve their grades.

If your student has failing grades, there’s no excuse for them not to attend these sessions. Our teachers are here to help, and Tiger Time is the perfect chance to ask questions, get extra practice, and stay on track academically. 💪

Encourage your student to take full advantage of these resources! Together, we can help them achieve their best. 🐾💙

📅 Below is a list of teachers and their tutoring times:

Community Business Partner Highlight: Tom’s Travelin’ Coffee ☕️

A huge thank you to Tom’s Travelin’ Coffee for warming up our staff with delicious treats on a chilly start to the new year! 🥶☀️ It was such a wonderful way to kick off the semester, as their warm smiles, kind greetings, and amazing coffee brought so much joy to our team

We are so grateful for local businesses like Tom’s Travelin’ Coffee, who go the extra mile to support our educators. Let’s show them some love and appreciation for their generosity and community spirit! 🐾

📢 Parent Reminder: Partnering for Student Success with Teachers

Parents, we encourage you to reach out to your student’s teacher as the first line of communication for any questions or concerns before speaking with administrators. Teachers are here to work with you to address any issues and create a strong partnership for your student’s success.

Please note that class or schedule changes are not permitted after the first 10 school days, making it even more important to connect with teachers directly about any challenges your student may be facing. Together, we can ensure a positive and productive school year! 📚✨
