Dear Cardinal Family,
Please read through this edition of the Cardinal Chronicles closely, as it important end of year information. Make sure to click the PDF link for a printable version of the spring semester exam bell schedule. Please be sure to follow our calendars, website, and this newsletter to stay informed about end-of-year events, testing, graduation, and more!
It is so hard to believe we are this close to the end of the school year. There are a lot of activities happening between now and the end of the school year, please pay close attention to the save the dates.
LAST DAY OF SCHOOL: Students’ last day of school is May 26th. Students will be dismissed at 1:20 p.m.
Academic focus: As we are getting closer to the end of the school year, focusing on the final grades for student courses is essential; please check the parent portal of Ascender for grade updates. We will be reaching out to students and parents if we have concerns about the successful completion of coursework for the year due to grades, attendance or STAAR EOC scores.
Summer School: If your child is required to attend summer school due to grades, attendance or STAAR EOC scores, CHS will reach out to parents via telephone and email.
Every single day I'm proud to come to work and I'm proud to call myself a cardinal! As always, we are committed to creating an environment where students and teachers alike can: LEARN WITH PASSION, ACT WITH COURAGE, AND CHANGE THE WORLD! #EverUpwardCardinals
