This week's schedule:

The key refrain that CHS will affirm again and again—for staff and for students—is simple:

Our Core Values—Community, Honesty, and Striving—are interwoven into our daily routines, our instructional planning, and our school-wide expectations. They are simple traits that remind us we are at our best when we work together to become something better and when we do so with integrity.

An important part of our new School Resource Officers Program is gathering feedback from staff, students, and families. Please use this form to share your thoughts about Officer Arron Arreguin at CHS, Officer Tyree Kirby at CMS, and/or the program in general.

For any sophomore or junior interested in applying, the Summer Residential Governor's School and World Language Academies CHS Intent to Apply Form is now available using the link https://tinyurl.com/CHSApplyGov27 until Friday, October 23rd. Updated dates and locations, student and family handbooks, and applications for Summer of 2027 are now all available on the VDOE Summer Residential Governor's School Website and World Language Academies Website for students and families to review and learn more. 

Technology has noted significant security concerns regarding Google Chat's ability to capture and retain conversations and chats between students. After reviewing how this app could be supported for students, Technology deemed it a violation of policy and federal regulations because the law requires us to monitor and filter such chats. Technology will continue to work with Google to find a solution that meets our policies and regulations. In the meantime, please use Gmail for communication when needed.
