We are one month into the 2016-17 school year and I can sincerely say, we're off to a great start. A few speed bumps here and there (mostly technology related), nevertheless we're off and running and it feels pretty darn good. Thank you everyone for helping to make our transition from summer vacation to the seriousness of school, and helping kids ease into routines and expectations while finding joy in learning. Thanks too, for keeping up the positive energy and continuing to make great things happen at CHS.
Our back to school open house was a success. There is something comforting about getting to meet our students' parents and knowing that they support us and entrust us with their sons and daughters and being able to reassure them their kids are in good hands. Press on! Panther Strong!
Feathers in our cap...

Word of the Month ~ Integrity
Hopefully you can squeeze in time to talk to our students about our CHS guiding principles: Respect, Responsibility and Integrity and this month with a focus on Integrity. There are a variety of definitions of the word integrity, but sharing with your students your ideas about integrity can help deepen their awareness and understanding of what integrity means and what it means to you.
Quote of the week...
"Integrity is the essence of everything successful."
Cheers to September!
