CHS Community,

What a three day week! Despite the weather-related challenges, including two calamity days and the postponement of several winter sports events, and adjustments to our academic schedule, our school community has remained resilient and focused on learning.

MIDTERM WEEK

Please mark your calendars for the upcoming midterm exam week, which will take place the week of December 16th. Here's the schedule:

• Monday: White Day - No Midterms
• Tuesday: Red Day - Periods 1 and 5 Midterms
• Wednesday: Red Day - Periods 3 and 7 Midterms
• Thursday: Black Day - Periods 4 and 8 Midterms
• Friday: Black Day - Periods 2 and 6 Midterms

It's important to note that students are expected to attend school for the entire day on each of these days, even if they only have one or two midterms. There will be no "open campus" format for this midterm week.

We understand that this schedule may require some adjustments, but we appreciate your support in ensuring your child is prepared for these important assessments.

TOPPER CLUB

Topper Club is for students earning an impressive GPA of 3.75 or higher last year. To celebrate their accomplishments, we will invite them to a special Topper Club Breakfast Celebration to recognize and honor their hard work. Invitations were delivered on Tuesday, December 03.

BUILDING ACADEMIC SCHEDULE

Normal 5 day schedule.

Have a safe weekend. Go Hilltoppers!

Mr. Tomco

Despite the recent winter weather, our students and staff at Chardon High School continue to find creative ways to learn. Dr. Schneider's AP Physics C class took advantage of the snowy conditions to conduct a friction lab on sledding.

Next week, Student Council has planned a Spirit Week that features:

Monday 12/9 - The Night Before Christmas (PJs)
Tuesday 12/10 - Deck the Halls (Christmas gear / ugly sweaters)
Wednesday 12/11 - Christmas / Holiday Class Colors (seniors in red, everyone else in green)
Thursday 12/12 - Christmas / Holiday Character (movie)
Friday 12/13 - Happy New Year!

*Students who participate in the spirit week themes will earn a chance to win gift cards, candy, portable speakers, Beats headphones, and more!

*All students must follow the guidelines for attire (outlined in the Student Handbook)

Winter Games:

During lunch periods, Student Council will host multiple winter themed games for students to compete in. Games include: musical chairs, wrapping competitions, and making it snow (ripping tissues out of a box). Prizes will be awarded to winners.

Staff Door Decorating Contest:

Members of student council will come take photos of each decorated door at the end of the day Thursday, 12/12. Photos will be provided in a google form and students will vote on Friday, 12/13. The door that receives the most votes will be awarded a gift card prize. Please fill out this google form with your name and space you will be decorating!

Happy Holidays!

The mission of Jeremy's kids is to provide holiday gifts for at need families in Geauga County. In over 20 years of giving back to the community, we have raised over $130,000. With the money raised, Chardon High School students are given the opportunity to go to local stores and shop for these families.

If your student is making an in person donation, collected during school hours starting December 2nd, we prefer cash or check. Please make checks out to Chardon Board of Education and in the memo section write, Jeremy's Kids

Hey Toppers! We are a club focused on breaking the stigma around mental health here at Chardon HS. We are open to all grades, and really want to get more students involved! We are having a virtual meeting via Google Meet, on Monday, December 9 at 4:30pm. Join the Remind for any additional info and updates on meeting details!

Remind Code: “chshmm”

Sincerely,

HMM Leadership
