Principal's Message
Campo Families,
It is hard to believe we are almost through the month of January. This will be our final week of hybrid and then we will be returning to full in-person learning starting February 1st (unless otherwise directed). The bell schedule for this last week of January is posted below. As a campus we have seen a decline in positive COVID cases. Thank you for playing your part in keeping Campo safe. Please continue to follow our dashboard up that is updated daily Tuesday-Friday dashboard page on the district website.
As a reminder this semester teachers will be posting their official grades weekly into Infinite Campus (IC). If you have any questions or concerns please don't hesitate to reach out to our administration.
Thank you for your continued support of our Campo Family.
Krista Cox, Ed.D.
Principal

Every Person, Every Day!
Just a reminder to follow us on social media.

Senior Credit Checks
Counselors met with seniors in their English class last week to discuss credits. The purpose of this one-on-one meeting was to ensure seniors are in the appropriate classes to meet their graduation requirements, or if deficient, have a plan to make up credits. We also discussed post-secondary plans and answered any questions that students had.
PreACT Test Sign Up
Campo will be offering a practice ACT test, called the PreACT test, on Saturday, February 20th. All grade levels are welcome to take this test. It is a great opportunity for junior students to practice before they take the official ACT test this spring. More information about this test can be found here.
When: Saturday, February 20th, 8 am - noon
Where: CVHS Building 5
Cost: $25 Can be paid online through Parent Portal.
Grades: All grade levels welcome
Sign-up: January 6th - February 12th in the CVHS BOOKSTORE
AP Exam Registration
Hello AP Students-
The regular deadline to sign up and pay for your AP exams has passed and there now is a late fee of $40 per exam as mandated by the College Board.
Please follow the 2 steps on the handout to register for an exam. They are outlined here. Students must complete both steps to successfully register.
The deadline to register WITH late fees this year is February 26, 2021. This does not apply to students in semester 2 classes of AP Government and AP Microeconomics.
Important PSAT Information
For those students who took the PSAT on October 17th:
Please create or make sure you can log into your College Board account so you can easily access your scores online and unlock a robust set of personalized resources to help you understand your PSAT score. Create account or log in here:https://www.collegeboard.org/
Students who provided their email address on their PSAT/NMSQT answer sheet should have received an email reminder to view their October PSAT/NMSQT scores online on December 7 and 8.
For those juniors taking the PSAT on January 26th:
Please see email updates about testing. This is a hybrid, A-L day, but any students that are M-Z and signed up to test will report that day as well and leave after testing. An email with your room assignment will be sent out later this week.
EVIT
EVIT has opened their online application. Due to the nature of this year, they decided it would be best to open it early. Below is a video that will walk you through the application.
Sophomores can begin applying by going to evit.com/enroll. Once EVIT has all of your documents, Attendance, Discipline, Current Transcripts, and Immunizations, then your application will be reviewed and possibly accepted.
Campo's EVIT representative will be on campus twice in January to help with enrollment, but for the programs that fill up quickly (most programs offered at East Campus: Aviation, Vet Assistant, Future Engineering, East Cosmetology, East Medical Assistant, East Nursing Assistant) I would recommend you fill an online application sooner than later. To secure specific timeframes (AM or PM time slots), I would also recommend enrolling sooner.
How to apply at EVIT:

In between learning to use jigsaws and equipment in the shop and assisting in the auditorium, beginning technical theatre students made good use of their time and completed all requirements for their OSHA-10 certification. Meanwhile, intermediate technical theatre students are experimenting with materials to make the Audrey II plants in Little Shop of Horrors.
Theatre Arts students are preparing for their one-act showcase on February 25, rehearsing several plays by Don Zolidis. Performance will be at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium, seating will be limited to allow for social distancing.
Beginning theatre students will soon be rehearsing for their showcase featuring The Brothers Grimm Spectaculathon.
Details coming soon!

There are 6 different awards specific to Young Adult books that are awarded annually. Information about each award is shown on the display and winners are available for check out.
Our library media technician student recently made an anti-fog nose clip using the 3D printer. These clips slide onto a mask above the nose. These clips only cost a quarter and students can request to have one made if they want one.
