MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
CHS COMMUNITY,
Hard to believe, but 25% of our school year is officially in the books!
If I had to summarize our school year so far in a single word, it would be "QUIET"—and I mean that in the best possible way. We have enjoyed a productive atmosphere across our building. While we did experience a slight increase in "noise" over the past week, I am confident it was temporary. We look forward to continuing the strong momentum of this great 2026–27 school year.
Looking ahead, we are excited to jump into our upcoming Spirit Week! Please take a moment to review the flyer above for daily schedules and themes.
To ensure the week remains fun, positive, and safe for all students, please review these quick guidelines regarding costumes:
Keep It School-Appropriate: All attire must align with our standard school dress code.
Limit Masks & Face Paint: Faces must remain clear enough for quick identification and student safety.
No Prop Weapons: Items resembling weapons (swords, etc.) are strictly prohibited.
Skip the Gore: Please keep costumes free of blood, guts, or excessively scary imagery.

I hope everyone enjoys their weekend.

DRAMA PRODUCTION, THE CURIOUS SAVAGE
Get ready for an evening of laughter, heart, and a little bit of madness! Join us for our school production of The Curious Savage, a delightful comedy about a kindhearted widow, her greedy stepchildren, and a group of unforgettable characters who discover that kindness, compassion, and happiness are worth far more than money.
Will Mrs. Savage's family get their hands on her fortune, or will she teach them a lesson they won't soon forget? You'll have to come see the show to find out!
Performance Dates and Times: Thursday, November 5th and Saturday, November 7th at 7:00 pm; Sunday, November 8th at 2:00pm
Location: Park Elementary Auditorium- 111 Goodrich Ct, Chardon, Ohio 44024

OUR FAMILY, OUR HEROS

Submission Deadline: Friday, November 3 at 3:00 PM.
SENIORS - COLLEGE INFORMATION
COLLEGE APPLICATIONS
If you (your child) plan to apply for college and have not already done these steps, please pay close attention to the following information:
1. The priority deadline for many schools is November 1st. This means the following information needs to be submitted before that date:
- Your application
- Your transcripts
- Letters of Recommendation (if applicable)
- ACT/SAT test scores (if applicable)
**You MUST have your application submitted 1-2 weeks in advance so you have time to make corrections, if needed, and Mrs. Patterson has enough notice to complete your Counselor-Required documents.
2. We recommend students use Common App if they are planning to apply to several schools. It requires an essay, but will save you time in the long run if you are applying to 3 or more colleges.
- Use your PERSONAL email address.
- **Please note, even if you are currently attending a college for CCP, you will still apply as a "First-Year Student."
3. Please see the attached directions for detailed information on how to request:
- Transcripts (through SchooLinks)
- Letters of Recommendations (through SchooLinks)
- ACT/SAT Scores
- **Note: Your ACT/SAT scores are on your transcripts. If you do NOT want me to include them, you MUST tell me (Mrs. Patterson) before you submit your applications.
Helpful information (including screenshots of SchooLinks steps) can be found in this 2026-2027 College Senior Presentation.
