Clarksburg High School Students, Staff, and Families,
This Monday, Labor Day, schools are closed. Have a wonderful Labor Day Holiday! We reopen on Tuesday and debut our new Coyote Connect Advisory Period, aimed at wellness and building school spirit and community. This week all sports teams will be in action so make plans to come out and see them. Students will need to show school ID to enter events. Grade 9 MAP-R & MAP-M testing window will open this week for one month. In addition, on Wednesday during lunch, CHS will host a Clubs & Activities Fair. This is a great opportunity to for students to learn about various organizations and get involved. Thursday we welcome all families to Back to School Night, with shuttle service from Rocky Hill MS. See more in the rest of the newsletter, including a GoFundMe link for a family in need as a result of a house fire.
