MAY IS MENTAL HEALTH MONTH!
This May, we’re encouraging everyone to reach out and have a #RealConvo about mental health. We know it can be difficult to feel confident starting and continuing the conversation, so we’ve created a new collection of short, animated videos in support of our freshly designed #RealConvo Guides, providing examples and tips of how to have mental health talks.
Visit our #RealConvo page to check out these guides and learn how you can inspire friends, family, and loved ones to have real conversations about mental health.
MINDFULNESS IN CONVERSATION
It is difficult enough to try and focus on our breath or on sound. When there are distractions, our attention easily gets taken away.
When we are mindful of talking, we can still be aware of our body and we can still be aware of our mind.
Practice- notice what thoughts might be going on in your mind as you are talking.
See if you can notice the urge to talk, or maybe that you are not in the mood to talk. Notice if silence is awkward. Notice that you are seeing the person and hearing their voice. Notice if you can maintain your mindfulness, your awareness, your presence, or do you get so involved you just talk without remembering to be mindful.

GRAD GIFT/FUNDRAISER
Interested in giving your soon-to-be graduate a unique gift next month?

There are a number of options available with prices ranging between $10 and $65. Mr. Hawthorne is donating a portion of the proceeds back to CHS, so your gift also benefits future students and alumni. It's a win-win!
CUSD MESSAGE REGARDING REFUNDS
We understand your concerns regarding refunds and are working diligently to request a solution from the Arizona Department of Revenue. Since all field trip and AP exam fees are tax credit eligible and may have already been claimed on taxes, we are waiting on guidance from the Arizona Department of Revenue before proceeding. This is a complicated issue with many different factors to take into consideration. CUSD wants to ensure that we are in compliance State and Federal tax agencies and do not want to take any actions that may cause issues if a tax credit donation is refunded in the same taxable year as it is claimed as a credit. Once a decision has been reached, we will communicate with everyone impacted by cancelled field trips or AP exams due to the COVID-19 school closure. Thank you for your continued patience.
CAP AND GOWN PICK-UP
ATTN: Parents and CHS Seniors: If you have not picked up your cap and gown, please contact the front office at (480)812-7700 to schedule a pick up time between 8am-3pm.
If you have a balance due, you will need to contact Jostens directly at 1-800-Jostens. In addition, your cap and gown will need to be picked up at the Jostens office.
If you have paid in full, your cap and gown is at school and we look forward to seeing you. If you are unsure of your balance, please feel free to call the front office.
CHS SECOND SEMESTER GRADING
Students will earn a letter grade for the second semester, which will be a combination of their 3rd quarter grades and work completed during 4th quarter. The instructional focus of the assignments is to provide preparation for the next grade level, and will be delivered virtually or through hard copy resources. The following guidelines will be utilized for high school grading:
Work completed during the 4th quarter can only improve 3rd quarter grades.
Grades in infinite Campus will not accurately reflect the final semester grade.
A max of 2 assignments per week will be input into a teacher’s gradebook per the due dates assigned by the teacher.
A student’s grade can only improve by one letter grade.
Students who do not engage in online learning opportunities, or who cease to actively complete 4th quarter instructional activities, will receive their grades as they were posted at the end of 3rd quarter.
No finals will be included in the semester grade.
Any student failing can be given work to bring the grade up to passing.
All assignments will be graded for "Satisfactory Completion" and will not receive a letter grade or percentage grade per assignment. The teacher will indicate if the assignment was "satisfactorily completed" and provide feedback to the student.
To achieve the letter grade increase for the course, a student must complete 75% of the 4th quarter assignments.
Students completing text-based packets will have their work assessed later in the semester and be awarded the grade increase if the assignments from both April and May meet the 75% satisfactory completion standard.
For students in elective classes without internet access, please contact your elective teacher to receive alternate assignments.
