Spartan Times

Good evening Spartans,

I hope you had a great weekend. Our students were busy representing the Home of Champions through the Arts, Athletics and community service. It's amazing how many opportunities we have at Chula Vista High School for our students to participate in positive, productive and fun activities. This week will be full of excitement on the field, the court and the stage. I hope you have an opportunity to join us at the Home of Champions!

This week, our eleventh grade students will also begin taking the English portion of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). For the most part, students will be taking the exam in their regular English class, with their English teacher. Students must bring their fully charged laptops each day and we also recommend that they get a good night's sleep and have a healthy breakfast. We've included additional information and reminders below.

Looking forward to another great week at the Home of Champions!

Go Spartans!

This Thursday, April 13th from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. Ms. Allison's Senior English class will be hosting a movie night in the PAC. Tickets will be on sale at the door, as this event is a fundraiser to support Freedom Dogs San Diego (https://www.freedomdogs.org). Our goal is to donate $1500.00 to this fantastic non-profit. We will be selling water bottles and MEChA will be selling snacks. Students presentation boards will also be on display to share the research they have done regarding this important issue.

The film is To Be of Service, a documentary about service members suffering from PTSD and the service dogs that help them heal and thrive after their tour of duty.

Our varsity and JV softball players recently visited an assisted living facility and volunteered spending time with the residents there, spreading some Spartan Joy!!

Another reason Chula Vista High School is the Home of Champions!

On Friday the Symphonic Band and Symphonic Orchestra participated in the Anaheim Forum Music Festival at Fullerton College. Both groups received Gold Ratings, the highest possible rating at the festival! Our Percussion Section was recognized for Most Outstanding Section, and flautists Christopher Motil and Marriane Agonos each got recognized for Most Outstanding Performers!

The last progress report card of the year will be available this upcoming Friday April 14th, 2023 through Infinite Campus. Students, please make sure you turn in all of your assignments. Parents/guardians, please check the grade report in IC this Friday and reach out to your student's teacher or counselor if you need support.
