WW Feb 19

Due to the Monday holiday our bell schedule this week will be red, blue, red, blue days

This event which is sponsored by DCSD’s Activities and Athletics Department and the Foundation for Douglas County Schools is a heartwarming tribute to our girls and women in sports. We recognized many of our athletes from our middle schools and high schools. We are so proud of these young women! Watch the recording of the event (the portion on Chap starts at 1:54:15) .

How are staff members nominated?

Parents and guardians are invited to nominate staff members who have positively impacted their child’s special education experience. Nominations can be submitted via the Shining Star 2026 Nomination Form from now through February 28, with recipients announced on March 11.

The Chap After Prom Committee is partnering with Funds2orgs to collect gently worn, used and new shoes. Get a head start on spring cleaning, give your unused shoes a new lease on life, and help support a fun, safe night for Chap students. Donated shoes go to developing countries where they are sold by micro-entrepreneurs in their communities.

Help spread the word by reaching out to family, friends and neighbors. Heading to the big Chap vs. Legend basketball games Friday? Bring along a pair of shoes. Donation bins are located near the theater and the library until March 24.
