WELCOME BACK
Ready or not, here they come :)
What to say when you wake up and poof summer is over...
WELCOME BACK!
Even though we have to give up the carefree feeling that summer brings, there is always something special about the first day of a new school year. The start of the school year brings with it the excitement of meeting our new students and a chance to reconnect with one another and meet the new members of our faculty and staff.

Monday, August 6 Professional Development Day
Each year FUSD provides one day before the official teacher workdays for teachers to participate in professional development workshops and earn "301 Money". Monday, August 6 is the 301 day and teachers can earn $86.00 per hour. There are a variety of options from which to choose. The district is offering a few 301 sessions focused on student and teacher self-care and wellness.
At CHS we have a unique opportunity for teachers to connect with our incoming freshmen (Class of 2022) and earn 301 dollars at the same time. We are also offering sessions around Synergy Support and TeacherVue, Website building and enhancement and International Baccalaureate (IB) Foundations.

Student First Days. The schedule for these two days will be distributed and reviewed during our Nitty Gritty Meeting on Tuesday, August 7. For planning purposes, each period will be 25 minutes with the exception of third period homeroom which will be an extended period to allow for the various beginning of the year activities such as textbook distribution, student, and staff IDs, ect.
I hope you enjoy the last few days of summer and I look forward to a great school year ahead. The next Panther Report will include updated frequently used forms and a calendar of important dates for the month of August.
