Celebrating Success
With the beginning of the school year, comes a host of fall sports and activities. School comes alive for many of our students who are involved. Many shine in the classroom and some outside of the classroom as well. It is truly heart-warming to see so many students participating in the various extra-curricular activities we have going on at Coconino High School, X-Country, Volleyball, Golf, Football, Cheer, Dance JROTC, Robotics, Marching Band, and numerous clubs and student led organizations. Go Panthers! I witnessed something noteworthy this weekend...after the football game on Friday night when most fans had already left the stadium several CHS students stayed behind to help the custodians pick up trash left by the spectators. Nobody asked them to do this, they said they just wanted to help. I don't know the names of all of the students who pitched in, but I do know it was spearheaded by our student body president, Konner Bracken. If you see you Konner this week, a pat on the back to Konner and his crew is well deserved.
Did you happen to see the newspaper this weekend? CHS got some positive ink for all around increases in our AZMerit scores. Niiiiiice! Keep up the great work everyone, Panther Strong!

Can we Tauuuuuwk?
Dress code, dress code oh my goodness, dress code. The holes in the jeans seem to be causing some to lose sleep at night, and others, not so much. Therein lies the problem, inconsistency.
What's the Story?
Last year a group of teachers came together via the CHS School Structures Team. Based on input from CHS teachers, they determined that we needed to focus more attention on our CHS dress code. Fast forward to SY 2016-17, in-spite of the attention to the dress code we are right back where we were last year; some are enforcing the code while others are ignoring the code all together. This begs some questions; Is a dress code important to us as a school? If so what are we willing to commit to in order to insist that our students follow the dress code? Is the current dress code itself appropriate? Do holes in the jeans matter, or is it more about where the holes are located? The school structures team will be coming back together to discuss these questions and determine the best way to proceed. Stay tuned... in the meantime, please send students to McKenzie to obtain school appropriate attire (First offense) and if you have students who you you have already redirected due to dress code violations, please complete and MI form and send the student to the RTR.
Happy Birthday CHS
