Charger Nation

With just a few weeks left of the semester, we want to take time to celebrate the accomplishments of our student body. It has been an exciting fall for athletics, the music department, fine arts and our culinary and fashion programs.

We have also had students celebrating the acknowledgement of their hard work through college admissions, preparing to serve in the military and taking on vocational training. We have so much to be thankful for and celebrate.

As we finish out the 2022 year, please enjoy your family time, the holidays and time off. Celebrate the good things happening in our community and we wish you and your family a blessed Winter Break.

We will once again have the Student Success Time in the mornings, lunch and then have Final Exams in the afternoon. Student Success Time is an opportunity for students to have individual study time in locations throughout the building. Students will also be able to report to teacher classrooms for additional study assistance.

Students are not required to attend Student Success Time. If they do they will need to report to either a teacher classroom or a study area listed below.

Bus Transportation will run on their normal schedule.

Students wanting to leave early due to a having a study hall during a final exam slot may do so. Parents will need to contact the attendance office to notify. This will be an undocumented absence.

As a reminder, students cannot take finals early. If needed, students can arrange to take missed finals on January 4th.

Tutoring is available at Carroll before and after school. Please follow the link below for up-to-date information. Tutoring is available to all students and is highly encouraged.

The 2022 Culinary and Fashion Expose - "The Bees Knees" was a great night to celebrate the hard work and talent of both our Culinary Program and Fashion Program. Students displayed their incredible passion for food and clothing. It was a great night!

Thank you to all of the family and friends that came to support our students and staff. Thank you you to Mrs. Sigmon, Mrs. Sholl, Ms. Mohr and Ms. Saalfrank for all of their hard work.

Congratulations to the Carroll Charger football team. They finished the season in Lucas Oil Stadium in Carroll High School's first state football championship. The Chargers ended their season with a 13-1 record. Congratulations to the Charger team and coaches. Thank you to the Charger Nation that represented our community and our schools so well.

Parents/Guardians of incoming seniors for 2022-2023:

Now is a good time to schedule appointments for required immunizations.

The meningococcal booster vaccine is required for grade 12.

Documentation of meningococcal booster is required the first day of school.

The meningitis vaccine is a booster of the meningitis shot they received for 6th grade known as Menactra, Menveo, or MCV4.

There is a Meningitis B that is optional, but not required by state of IN known as Trumenba or Bexsero.

Where to go for Immunizations:

Immunizations are usually covered by insurance at your physician’s office. If you do not have insurance, or immunizations are not covered by insurance, please go to supershot.org They are currently charging only 10.00 dollars per immunization. No one is turned away due to inability to pay.

***Most pharmacies carry the meningitis booster and they can check your insurance coverage before administration.

If you need a copy of your student’s shot record let me know and I can send you one. Take a shot record with you to Super Shot.

Thank you for your help in getting this done for the start of the 2022-2023 school year.

Destiny access for each building can be accessed through the district website at https://destiny.nacs.k12.in.us/ .

In order to access Destiny, parents and students use their district username (the first five letters of their last names followed by the first three letters of their first names (i.e. Brian Johnson = johnsbri)) and the password that is used to log-in to their school computers.
