Dear Parents/Guardians:
Here are some interesting and/or important reminders for the upcoming weeks:
Your Child’s Progress
We are about a third of the way through the 4th marking period, and the end of the school year is

checking your child’s progress, please use this as a reminder to do so. If you have any concerns,
please contact your child's teacher and/or guidance counselor. Final report cards are coming soon!

is a reminder that in order to be eligible to attend the prom, students must attend school the day
prior (May 16th).
The CHS Home and School Association is asking that for those of you who will be ordering flowers
for the prom to consider using Ziegfield Florists & Gifts. Ten percent (10%) of prom flower orders
go directly to the Project Graduation Fund. Attached is a flyer with more information.
