Celebrating Success
30, 32, 35...these are scores from CHS students who recently took the ACT test. Great scores...Potential Flinn scholars in our midsts.  Yay!!!
45...this is the number of students who took the English AP exam .  This is terrific, up from about 12-15 who took it last year. Thank you Tim Aydelott for encouraging so many students to take the exam.
There's more...
How about our senior community service day? I heard lots of positive comments from students about how much they enjoyed the day. There is really something special about service to others.
Just a few of the many points of light at CHS.

This week at CHS
 This Wednesday is our last delayed start day.  We will meet in our large Collaborative teams.
This week CHS will be hosting a special fundraiser.   On Monday, during first and second lunch in the North Commons, students, Sumer Walthour and Jasmine Horn will be selling special bracelets for $2 to help raise awareness and money for Alopecia Areata Research and Treatment.  All proceeds will go to NAAF (National Alopecia Areata Foundation). Alopecia Areata is an autoimmune disease resulting in hair loss. It has no cure.  The fundraising will conclude on Thursday with a crazy hair day and the winner for the craziest hair will win a gift card.

R.I.F.Process...
This is certainly an ugly acronym and it gives us all a knot in our stomach.  The list will go to the board this Tuesday night.  All the teachers on the RIF list have already been notified. I am sorry for the discomfort and uneasiness this process has caused and I am especially sorry for all who are affected by the RIF.

Master Board 
Cris has been working tirelessly to create our SY2012-2013 board. Her goal is to let you all know precisely what and when you will be teaching next year before we dismiss on June 8th. We are also hoping to provide students with their schedules for next year by June 7th.

Rumor has it 
that the AIMS results are in.  This rumor is true, sort of.  We have received the preliminary results, however they are "embargoed" until July 27, 2012.  We can use the scores to verify graduation eligibility for seniors, but we are not at liberty to publicly share the scores yet. Seems odd, I know. I can share the overall AIMS passing percentages for CHS: Reading = 76% Writing = 59% Math = 55%.

Have a great week everyone. Remember no school Friday or Monday.
