CMS Eagles Fans,
We are about to move into our Fall season and as the weather changes, so will our clothing; please work with your children to ensure they are dressed for the weather and are following the HCS dress code policy. Please remind students not to wear pajama pants or house shoes/slippers. If they wear jeans with holes above mid-thigh, please remind them to wear tights underneath and if they wear mid-rise shirts, please remind them to wear tank tops/undershirts. Thank you for your help with this!
HCS sent a message to our community on Thursday about some social media trends our students are participating in. Currently, there are Tik Tok trends that challenge students to deface school property and one that encourages students to steal property from schools. Please speak with your students about making responsible choices and sharing information with the administrative team if they see a student engaged in this activity. Thanks for helping us teach them how to use social media responsibly. I have attached our PBiS Schoolwide Matrix our teachers use when coaching our students. (see below)
Finally, if you have not had the opportunity to see our Volleyball and Football teams, our Cheerleaders, or our Band, please consider attending some games. These student/athletes and coaches devote countless hours to a craft they love and represent our school with great pride. (athletics section is below)

Most of our 8th Career Prep A students are at 15% complete with the course. All students should spend 10mins per night working in Edgenuity. This would be 50mins at home and once class period every Tuesday at school.
Things to remember about Career Prep A
- This is your first high school grade. Whatever you earn will transfer with you.
- If you fail, you will take this semester class again in 9th grade.
- Do it right the first time!
- Take advantage of the 1 period a week we give you to work in Edgenuity at school.
- If you are absent on a Tuesday, plan on working at least 45 minutes from home to catch up.
- It's a good idea to work ahead in this course from home. Make some time for this class each day. (15 mins) Do not procrastinate!
- If you have questions, ask your teacher. Don't get behind because you didn't ask questions.
