ERP Honor Roll List (Link)

🌟 We’re proud to be named a 2026 California Honor Roll School & District, an honor that celebrates schools and districts with exceptional student achievement in Math and English. Schools that receive the ERP Honor Roll distinction have demonstrated consistently high levels of student academic achievement, improvement in achievement levels over time, and a reduction in achievement gaps among student populations.

🙌 The ERP Honor Roll program, sponsored by the Campaign for Business and Education Excellence (CBEE), is part of a national effort to identify higher-performing schools and districts that are improving student outcomes and preparing students with the skills employer's value and demand. Chaparral Hight School is one of the eligible public schools in California to be recognized. Our success is a shared achievement, made possible by the passion of our educators, the encouragement of our families, and the perseverance of our students.

🏫 Congratulations to the 17 TVUSD Schools who earned a place on this year’s Educational Results Partnership Honor Roll!

We value being good neighbors with our local businesses and understand the challenges associated with student parking, especially as we are the largest high school in TVUSD. Parking has never been permitted on the property of our local businesses. Signage in the shopping center parking clearly indicates the following: Customer Parking Only, No Overnight Parking, No Chaparral High School Student Parking or Drop Off. The shopping center will be strictly enforcing their policy in order to support their customers. Vehicles in violation of this policy will be subject to towing at the owner's expense. We have been asked to share this information with you.

Cell phones and earbuds are NOT allowed to be out in classrooms during targeted instructional time. This continues to be a schoolwide expectation. This will help improve student attention and focus in class. Electronic devices, cell phones and earbuds must be put away and not visible during class instruction unless specifically directed by the classroom otherwise. There is no recording (video or sound) in the classroom, office areas, bathrooms or locker rooms. Please see the slide presentation near the top of the newsletter for more information. This information was reviewed with students during the first week of school.

Just a reminder that we are still using Infinite Campus for student grades. Please make sure to continue checking IC for the most current and accurate grade throughout the semester.
