CHS Community,

Very proud of our students and staff for a strong finish to the Ohio State Testing sessions this past week. Our students were punctual, worked hard, and I look forward to reviewing the results.

We also enjoyed a fun break in the routine today with a year-end performance from our Theatre Arts class—special thank you to Mrs. Mihalek and her students for an energetic and entertaining show. I even made a cameo appearance in the final act.

With three weeks remaining, we will continue to focus on finishing the school year strong.

SENIOR AWARDS ASSEMBLY

Chardon High School Senior Awards 04-23-2026

Enjoy the weekend.

Mr. Tomco

This week, all students attended our Prom Blitz Assembly, which focused on the dangers of distracted and impaired driving, as well as strategies for making safe and responsible decisions behind the wheel. These assemblies are an important reminder of the real-life consequences that can come from unsafe driving behaviors, particularly during this time of year.

We are grateful for our partnership with the Geauga County Health Department and local law enforcement. A special thank you to Officer Elam and the team for speaking with our students and reinforcing these critical messages. Their insight and real-world perspective made a strong impact.

Students also had the opportunity to participate in interactive activities, including attempting to play cornhole while wearing “impairment goggles.” Let’s just say—it was MUCH more difficult than expected!

AP Testing will begin on Monday, May 5th. Students are excused from school the entire day they are testing.

As we begin preparing for the upcoming 2026–2027 school year, we would like to remind you of an important health requirement for all students entering their senior year.

Per state law, all students must receive the required meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine prior to the start of their senior year. This immunization is mandatory for school attendance.

Please ensure that one of the following is completed before the start of the school year in August 2026:

• Submit official medical documentation verifying that your student has received the meningococcal vaccine
  OR

• Submit a completed exemption form (attached to this email)

Timely submission of these documents is essential to avoid any delays or interruptions to your student’s schedule at the start of the school year.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to contact the school clinic.

Thank you for your prompt attention to this requirement and for helping us keep our students safe and healthy.

Sincerely,

Chelsie Jackson M. Ed., BSN, RN, LSN

Mrs. Monaco’s class welcomed community guests this past week for their annual book club meetings. Students engaged in meaningful conversations and enjoyed the opportunity to share ideas and perspectives with our visitors.

A few thoughts from our students and Mrs. Monaco:

My students wondered if they would have anything beyond the book to discuss with the seniors, but were thrilled to have conversations beyond Orwell's pages. They learned that it's important to know your values and to hold fast to your beliefs. They also stated how important it is, through the lens of wisdom and experience, to see new perspectives of books you read.

It was interesting to hear the perspectives of people who grew up before the world of 1984 so they read it thinking of the book as a possible future, while we read it as an alternative past

During the book club, I was able to have conversations with people who experienced real world events that related to the book, and could understand how the world of 1984 could have become a reality.
