MUSTANG MINUTE
August
August 23, 2021
Good evening Mustangs,
As we celebrate a successful week one, I am constantly reminded of the energy and enthusiasm a new school year brings! The continued commitment of students, staff, and community to open the doors of Chugiak High School and remain open to focus on in-person academics and the social and emotional needs of our students is appreciated and is the foundation of all that we do.
Creating a safe learning environment for all is our first priority.
Please note that this week we begin our first full week of in-person learning following the CHS Bell Schedule.
We hope that you join us for Back to School Night on Wednesday, August 25 beginning at 6:30pm.

The Mission of Chugiak High School:
Inspire Students. Excel Academically. Strengthen Community.
Masks
Universal masking is required for all individuals while inside any ASD school or building including students and staff. Masks need to be worn properly at all times and must cover the nose and mouth. We will continue to partner with students on proper mask wearing and will be making calls home this week to encourage families to support our efforts to keep CHS open and safe for all.
Schedule Change Requests
Class change requests need to be completed TODAY. ALL Class changes need to be submitted via the google form.
Class changes are intended to modify elective options only. Please do not request teacher changes.
Class changes will be accommodated as quickly as possible. Please allow your counselor a few days to get to your request as they are busy getting ready to begin the new school year.
Parking Permits
Students are now able to pre-purchase parking permits online. Visit the CHS website for more information.
Homecoming - Top Gun!
It is our pleasure to partner with Student Government and the community to provide Chugiak Homecoming Week. Festivities during the week of September 7, 2021 will include spirit week, pep assembly, Homecoming Court and a school wide social event in lieu of a homecoming dance. More information to come as we plan for an epic event!!
Backpacks
Students will be able to come to and from school with their belongings in backpacks. Backpacks will be stored in lockers during the school day. Backpacks are not allowed in classroom spaces; we simply do not have the room. Thanks!
Dress for Success
“You can not climb the ladder of success dressed in the costume of failure.” -Zig Zigler
Please make sure that you are dressed appropriately for school. Leave your hats and blankets at home or in your locker and see attached guidelines for dress at CHS.
Cell Phones
We understand the importance of your cell phone and the importance of keeping in touch with your friends and family. Please note that we are an academic institution and our focus is on student learning and student success. Each student will be issued a chromebook for use in the classroom. Cell phone use is not permitted in the classroom but can be used during lunch, before and after school, and during passing periods.
Math Tutorial
Chugiak High School provides a math tutorial at lunch for all students! These tutoring sessions are staffed by CHS math teachers Monday-Friday You can meet new friends, work together with your classmates, get acquainted with the math teachers of Chugiak High School, and get help with your math.
