Unique Parts of Our Schedule

Impact Time

Each period in a student’s schedule has an associated Impact Time to get tiered support, make-up assessments or assignments, or conference with their teacher. During Impact, students may:

  • Re-learn or practice a skill
  • Retake an assignment or assessment
  • Conference with their teacher
  • Work independently

Fourth Period: Social-Emotional Learning and CHS Time

Fourth period at CHS is set aside for:

  • Social-Emotional Learning (SEL): At CHS, social-emotional learning (SEL) is a priority because it is essential to building and sustaining a safe, supportive school environment. SEL equips all students—not just those in crisis—with practical, evidence-based skills to manage emotions, handle stress, make thoughtful decisions, and build positive relationships. By embedding these lessons into the school day, we proactively support mental health, improve behavior, and create a shared language for problem-solving across our school. This work strengthens engagement, enriches student experiences, and supports excellence, helping every Black Knight thrive both in and beyond the classroom.
  • CHS Time: Flexible time that includes all-school events like assemblies and pep rallies. Also includes opportunities for students to visit teachers in different subject areas.
