Parents: Your Help is Needed- After Prom
Volunteers are desperately needed!
Please sign up here. Monetary donations can also be sent to Venmo (@Kendra-Bacon-1) or checks made out to CHS After Prom. Thank you so much! Please drop off any donations at the Chap front office CLEARLY marked CHAP AFTER PROM.
After Prom provides a fun, safe way for students to spend time together following the dance. This special event is planned entirely by Chap families Your involvement makes a difference—we hope to see you there!
**If you would like to help plan this event, please join us for future meetings. We are still in need of people willing to shadow positions for next year's committee or help with this year's event. The final meeting will be April 21 at 6:00 p.m. in the Chap library.
SAC Parent Representatives 2026-2027 School Year
The purpose of the SAC is to provide accountability in an advisory capacity by informing, encouraging, and providing opportunities for parent and community stakeholders to be involved in the planning and evaluation of the school’s instructional program and quality improvement processes. The SAC makes recommendations concerning the school’s budget, performance/improvement plan, and meets at least quarterly to discuss implementation of the school’s plan and other progress pertinent to the school’s accreditation contract with the Board of Education. Final decision-making authority rests with the principal or other person or group receiving the recommendation from the SAC (e.g., the Superintendent, District Accountability Committee (“DAC”), or Board of Education).
Voting members include parents, a community representative, teachers, and the principal. Next school year, 2026-2027, we will be in need of Parent Representatives. Please consider supporting our school by being on this committee. All are welcome to attend, even if you are not a voting member.
Please complete the Google form if you are interested.

Dance Eligibility & Attendance Policy
Supporting Academic Success through Consistent Attendance
To uphold our ongoing commitment to academic success and student engagement, Chaparral High School enforces an attendance policy for all school-sponsored dances. We believe that consistent attendance is vital to academic achievement and overall school involvement.
The Eligibility Requirement
To attend school dances, students must maintain a consistent presence in their classes. Students who accumulate more than 20% total absences will be ineligible to attend dances, including Homecoming, Winter Dance, and Prom.
Note: We encourage students to monitor their attendance records regularly throughout the semester to ensure they remain eligible for these events.
Support & Communication
We recognize that some students may encounter personal or medical challenges that affect their attendance. If your student is facing such circumstances, please communicate with their Counselor and Assistant Principal as soon as possible. Our goal is to support every student’s success. We are committed to working with families to address attendance concerns and find solutions before eligibility is impacted.
