Student Reminders
On Campus Students:
- Have a mask and be prepared to wear it all day.
- Have headphones that connect to your device. You will need these to listen to any teacher interaction.
- Check your schedule in Skyward to see if any courses have changed. We will not print schedules at school so make sure to either print a copy or access it on your phone.
- Ensure that you are in dress code.
- Remember that all Zoom meetings are recorded and all IP addresses are accessible. Any inappropriate actions will be dealt with severely.
- Have a great school year!
Virtual Students:
- Have an adequate work area at home. No distracting materials should be seen.
- Make sure your camera works. Part of being a virtual student is being visible on the camera at all times.
- Make sure your clothing is appropriate.
- Remember that all Zoom meetings are recorded and all IP addresses are accessible. Any inappropriate actions will be dealt with severely.

Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
The new 2021-22 FAFSA form is almost here! FAFSA.gov will be available beginning October 1, 2020.
This is a single application that you must fill out to get federal financial aid (grants, work study and loans) based on your family income. This application needs to be sent to each school you apply to so that they can award financial aid. ALL SENIORS SHOULD COMPLETE THE FAFSA in October! Money is first come, first serve. DON'T WAIT!

Senior Portraits for Glamourcraft
If you are planning to have your Senior Portrait taken by Glamourcraft on campus at CHS here is what you need to know:
1. Photos will be taken in the Auditorium Foyer and students will be excused from class during the time they are taking their photos, but are expected to return to class as soon as possible when they are done.
2. Glamourcraft will ONLY be taking the photo for the yearbook (called drape and tux). They will not be taking cap and gown photos or any other pictures that are normally included in the Glamourcraft package. The on campus photos are only to meet the needs of the students that were not able to get an appointment at the studio by our deadline.
3. If you have an appointment for after November 2nd at the Glamourcraft studio, I highly recommend keeping that appointment. That is where you will have the various photo package options and be able to purchase the photos. You will not get the variety of images on campus.
4. Students do not need to wear anything special for the photo. All garments will be provided by Glamourcraft. They will just need to come looking picture ready.
5. Students will be excused from class to take their photos and sent back to class when their photos have been completed. However, we recommend students come to take their photo during their out period, Flex, a TA or lunch period.
6. Virtual students may come to campus anytime throughout the day to take their photo. They should enter through the auditorium doors to access the foyer where the photos are being taken.
