Cell Phones and Communication Devices
At the school board meeting on 7/8/2024, the CCPS school board voted on a new cell phone policy. Students will not be allowed to use or have cell phones and other electronic devices out during the entire school day. The CHS Admin Team is working on setting expectations for Cavalier Nation and how this policy will be implemented at CHS. These expectations will be shared prior to the first day of school with families, students, and staff. Please contact Dr. Connolly if you have any questions.

Vaccination Reminder for Rising 12th Graders
Beginning July 1, 2021, all 12th graders are required by the state of Virginia to receive the Meningococcal vaccine (MenACWY) for school attendance. Failure to get this vaccination will cause your child to be unenrolled from school until the vaccination is acquired.
If you have not done so already, please schedule an appointment with your healthcare provider where you can learn more about and receive the required vaccines. Once completed, please provide documentation to Nurse Russell at CHS. If your student has been vaccinated, please be sure that you have provided their vaccination record to us.
You can visit the following website for more information about the MenACWY requirement: www.vdh.virginia.gov/immunization/requirements. If you have questions, please contact Nurse Russell at mrussell@ccps.us or 804-633-9886; Erica Hunter at the Virginia Department of Health at erica.hunter@vdh.virginia.gov or 804-864-8057; or Joanna Pitts at the Virginia Department of Health at 804-864-7590 or joanna.pitts@vdh.virginia.gov.
