Congratulations to our CHS Poms on a great championship win as well as the CHS Wrestlers for winning the Division championship this weekend. All of our winter sports teams have been outstanding and we are so proud of them!

This week is a full 5 day week and we are celebrating our school Counselors every day for National School Counseling Week! Send a great note to thank them for all they do!

Monday we begin in Homeroom (Schedule) and students will also receive printed report cards. Wednesday, we push the reset button and students will participate in meetings to review school expectations and safety. Students may also continue to sign up for Summer Rise Internships as well as other opportunities to serve and shine. Please see the important information in this newsletter.

Club and group photos are scheduled for Thursday 2/9 and Friday 2/10. Please see the linked schedule. Sponsors will be receiving passes for students and will communicate a best time to pick them up. Unfortunately, there are no retakes, so please be prompt and on time to your scheduled session. If you are unable to make the photo, your name will be included so long as you are on your sponsor's roster.

When students arrive to the auditorium:

  1. Please be patient and listen for directions.
  2. The photographer may need to take a few photos for lighting purposes.
  3. Please do not leave the stage until yearbook staff have collected your student ID numbers.
  4. Return to class promptly so that we can continue to photograph all groups quickly.

 We appreciate your help facilitating another successful photo event - Thank you!

As we now settle into the middle of the winter weather season, Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) is improving its process for informing the community when weather requires an operational status change and when a closure might justify a shift to virtual instruction. When it is determined that conditions are unsafe for students and staff, we have six operational status options, which will now be reported by easy-to-understand, color-coded messages. Read the full message here to learn more: https://www.montgomeryschoolsmd.org/departments/publicinfo/community/school-year-2022-2023/Community-Message-20230113.html

 

Here are five things to know from MCPS. Get information about the new student mental health app, Summer RISE 2023 registration, Black History Month and more. Read Full Message
