THIS WEEK AT CHS (MARCH 31-April 4)

Follow @CantonHSnews

Monthly Parent Meeting - Monday, March 31

The Monthly Parent Meeting will be held on Monday, March 31 at 6 p.m. in the CHS Library. All are welcome. Topics will include BYOD technology integration, Canton Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition information, and course selection feedback. 

Term 3 ends on Friday, April 4

Friday, April 4 marks the final day of Term 3. As I noted in last week's blog, it is a school-community effort to help the students Finish Strong. It really comes down to a strong work ethic, focus and time on academics and good communication. Staying after for extra help, utilizing the library during and after school, and talking with your teacher about your current standing will pay dividends.

 The start of Term 4 is a time of transition. 

 It is exciting time for seniors as they begin their final term of high school and look forward to senior activities and graduation on Friday, June 6. Many seniors will be starting their Senior Externships on Monday, April 7 and leaving the CHS campus for a full-time, real-world experience. Just an amazing opportunity. Additionally, the 19 students participating in the 36th German Exchange will heading to Bocholt, German on April 16 for an extraordinary experience. 
MCAS: Grade 10 Math, Grade 9 Science

Course selection and verification sheets

Thank you for helping make course selection a success. It is our hope that our 2014-15 Program of Studies offered a comprehensive set of courses that were foundational, aspirational and inspirational. The CHS staff spends countless hours reviewing curriculum and programming to make sure the classes provide a relevant and exciting learning experience for students.

Verification sheets (a record of what you requested) will be sent to you in early April. If you have any questions or concerns regarding course selection, please contact the Guidance Office.
