Complete High School Maize
February 2023
A Note from Principal Hilliard
Hello Wolfpack!!
We kicked off the year with great attendance! Just a reminder that the only time to make up for absences is through Build Your Bank opportunities on Fridays. Check the calendar for the scheduled days. Our theme this year is UNSTOPPABLE and with attendance the first two weeks of school, that is what we will be! Our 23 new students have gotten off to a great start; we are all learning to work together as a team. We have had so many students step up this year! We are excited that Aiden, Nate, Braden J., and William were our Complete Citizens of the Week for August! And Dustin was the perfect recipient for our Friendship Student of the Month! Thanks for being awesome!
With September comes parent/teacher/student conferences!! We LOVE this time of year. CHSM prides itself on having 100% attendance from both parents and students. Our conferences are student led, so it is important that you sign up for a time that works for both you and your child. In this 20 minute time slot, students will go over their progress in their block classes and how they are progressing on their graduation goal. Parents will also have the opportunity to sign up to help with the Halloween Party. Please plan to spend around 45 minutes at CHSM (this includes the 20 minute conference). We will want you to have time to pay fees, purchase t-shirts, buy punch cards to our school store (if you desire), stop in and talk with Michelle (if you desire). We will have snacks for you to enjoy as well. Conferences are Thursday, September 28th. There will be time slots available from 8am-1pm and 4:20pm-8pm. Please sign up by clicking https://signup.com/go/zKSFaJp by September 21st. (Be sure to uncheck the ads at the bottom so you don't receive a lot of unwanted emails.) If for some reason you can't get the link to work, please email Michelle - mhilliard@usd266.com or you can also text me.
If none of these times work for you, please contact Michelle so we can get something set up before Monday the 25th so we can maintain our 100% attendance rate.:)
Our first site council meeting for the year will be Tuesday, September 19 at 5:45pm at CHSM. We will serve a light meal that evening. If you are not a member of the site council and want to be, just let Michelle know.
Important Notes: (If you don't read anything else....READ THIS SECTION)
- Contracts are due Thursday, September 7 - one contract should be completed for each block class. If students are behind or want to work ahead, they always have the opportunity to attend Build Your Bank on Fridays - check the calendar for available dates.
- COUNT DAY!!! Wednesday, September 20! PLEASE make every effort to be at school on this day, on time, all day! If you have an appointment scheduled, please try to reschedule if at all possible. This is the day that all schools in Kansas use to "count students" for funding.
- CHSM Fundraiser! CHSM does a huge fundraiser at the beginning of the year where we ask EVERYONE to participate. The fundraiser will begin Monday, September 18th and will end Thursday, October 5th. The items will be delivered on Wednesday, October 18th! We will be selling Red Wheel cookie dough and all flavors of Puffins....if you haven't had a puffin, you are MISSING OUT!!! Thank you for helping!
- Please remember to bring your school supplies for this year. We ask everyone to bring 2 packages of white copy paper, 1 box of Kleenex and 1 snack item.
- The student store is now open! Punch cards are available for sale in $5 and $10 denominations. If your student would like to purchase a card, please have them see Sheryl. We do not accept Cashapp or Venmo as payment.
- We need old t-shirts! One of the service projects we are currently working on is making dog toys for WAAL, Wichita Animal Action League. If your family has t-shirts that you no longer need, please have them bring them to Sheryl!
- The CHSM gaming team is in the beginning stages of forming. Students will be meeting with their coach, Kyle, to determine practice nights and match nights.
- Please remember if your child is going to be late or absent, call Cherrie to let her know 722-4790. You can also email her cmendoza@usd266.com. It saves Cherrie a lot of time if you call her before she calls you.
Thank you for encouraging your kids to be at school each day. We hope we continue to have great attendance. This is going to be a great year. Thank you for trusting us and for being a part of our Wolfpack Family! Please call or email me if you have any questions or need help with anything.
Thanks,
Michelle
