Students and Families,
We will be conducting the required SAT testing for all Juniors on April 13th. For testing, nearly all classrooms and all staff will be utilized to meet SAT guidelines, student accommodations, and Covid-19 protocols.
As a result, all freshmen, sophomores, and seniors will be utilizing a remote learning day for all Gold Day classes. Students in those grades will be able to work on current and missing assignments and projects. There will be no live instruction on April 13th. Students can expect to hear from their Gold day teachers on course-specific expectations for that day.
Juniors: Please be at your testing room by 8:15 a.m. as testing will start promptly at 8:20 a.m. The testing room rosters, which tell you what room you will test in, are posted around the building today and are also attached here for our remote students. If you have questions, please contact our guidance department.
Thank you all for your cooperation,
Aaron Lock
CHS Principal
