The Marching Knights were invited to perform at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the new Home Depot. A 45 member pep band went out to perform for over 100 associates and their families, a boy scout troop for the flag raising and the Fire Department. The band performed some of our favorite stands tunes and even an excerpt from this year’s marching show. The weather was perfect and the band performance was fantastic.

Light House Studio’s 24th Annual Youth Film Festival will feature "Accessibility Ramp," a film created by CHS student Alex Duenes ’25. The film was created in collaboration with Light House studio about how the CHS Farming program built an accessibility ramp out to its garden and chicken coop so that all students could learn there. Come see the film on Sunday, September 7 at the Paramount Theater at 6:30pm. More information about the Film Festival.

This August, our division proudly opened the doors to the new academic building of Charlottesville Middle School, serving 7th and 8th grade now (and welcoming 6th grade in 2026 once a major renovation of the old Buford buildings is complete). Many of our Black Knight students and families helped make this project a reality, from advocating for funding to giving feedback about what our students need from a modern middle school. Come and see the amazing results! Principal Rodney Jordan and VMDO architects are leading tours this fall. Sign up for a tour of CMS here.

CHS's commitment to a Positive School Culture includes professional learning and development with promoting positive school behaviors and aligning positive school strategies.

This section will be devoted to updating our community on ideas, references, or strategies that our school-based PSC team is helping promote.

You will see CHS: Community - Striving - Honesty on email signatures, ParentSquare messages, and in other communication. This represents key values thar our school is promoting as meaningful traits of personal and school success.

This section will feature upcoming events including bell schedule information for the week ahead (date - day - schedule - Impact/SEL/CHS)

The link below is our 25-26 bell schedule.

NOTE: Impact/SEL Times are variable and not on set dates/days.

This is so we distribute this time evenly across all classes across the school year.

Changes to our schedule will be communicated to students via ParentSquare, announcements, and via teacher communication.

This section is allocated to PTO updates.

CHS has an active PTO which helps support our students and teachers and staff.

The PTO is here to build strong partnerships between families, teachers, and administrators, and we are proud to play a role in helping our school thrive. Whether it's supporting classroom needs through teacher grants, organizing breakfasts and teacher appreciation, or fostering communication between staff and families, our goal is to help create a positive and enriching environment for every student.

We invite all families to get involved in a way that’s comfortable for your family. That may be volunteering, attending our monthly meetings, “liking” our posts, or anything in between.

PTO Meetings: 2nd Monday of each Month at CHS and via Zoom.

Next Meeting: Monday, September 8th, 2025.
