Clear Creek High School Updates

We will be administering 1st nine-week exams October 3rd-October 7th. All exams will be given during the regularly scheduled class period according to the schedule below.

Students will have the opportunity to buy Canes during all 3 lunches on Monday, October 3rd. Boxes will be $6 each and include 3 chicken strips, bread, and of course Cane's sauce. Tables will be set up outside of the cafeteria in the C100 hallway and in the courtyard. Not only is this a delicious opportunity, but every person that purchases a box will be helping Clear Creek WIN $750 in the CCEF Dine Out to Donate contest! What could be better than eating Canes AND helping CCHS beat our rivals while raising money for a good cause?

Dine out or take out for education on Monday, October 3, 2022 at participating restaurants (see attachment below) and a percentage of sales will be donated to the Clear Creek Education Foundation. Proceeds benefit teachers and students in CCISD through CCEF programs: Educational Grants, Clear Horizons Early College High School and National Board Teacher Certifications.

• 9th-11th grade students will take yearbook pictures October 13th and 14th through their history classes.

Our campus has made some great strides in staff culture building this school year and would like to keep that momentum going with an October luncheon for our teachers. Please consider donating any of the items listed in this link. We greatly appreciate your donation and it will be used to continue to boost staff morale. Items may be dropped off at the front desk to the attention of Ms. Richardson.

If your student would like to recognize a staff member for demonstrating positive Core Values, please have them stop by the E200 pod.

CCHS Weekly Attendance Average (Sept 19-23) = 94.95%

Student attendance in every class every day is crucial to their academic success. Compulsory attendance laws require a student to attend each class at least 90 percent of the days it is offered in order to receive credit or a final grade in a class.

If a student is absent, a parent/guardian must provide a note showing the dates and an explanation for any absence within three (3) days after the student’s arrival or return to school. If this note is not sent within the allocated three (3) days, the absence will be unexcused.

Our golf teams will be hosting the 8th annual Wildcat Extravaganza on Sunday 10/23 at South Shore Harbour. If you have any questions or need more information, please reach out to Coach Brown or Coach Williamson.

Some revisions have been made to the CCISD Exemption policy. Please see the attachment for the final version of the requirements for exemptions. The biggest changes are:

• Semester long AP courses are now eligible for fall exemptions (Economics & Government)
• Further defined core vs. elective courses
• If the student meets the grade and attendance requirements that all other courses require, they DO NOT have to take the AP exam to qualify for the exemption.

Junior class shirts are in! Stop by Mrs. Hernandez’s room in E211 before or after school to pick one up. They are $20 cash or check made out to Clear Creek High School.
