Greetings CHS Parents and Caregivers
Community Build at Kennedy Elementary Update
Title I Update
MAPS gathers parent feedback through parent surveys and a Title I program survey. We welcome your input and feedback to help us continuously improve our strategies to support student learning. Together, we can ensure that our students achieve their full potential.
Underworld Exhibit
We are three weeks into our quarter four Experiential Learning! Students have been busy crafting their flowers for the Underworld Exhibit that will be displayed at the Carnegie Art Center on May 1st. This project is partnered with Mecca Tattoo.
The gallery spaces offer a natural, somewhat creepy charm. In celebration of Beltane—the Gaelic May Day festival—students will be transforming the spaces with bursts of flowers and Art.
Yearbook Pictures!
Our English teacher, Crystal, is in the process of taking student pictures for our yearbook. Encourage your student to set up an appointment with Crystal.
The yearbook is FREE, but you must place an order to receive one. Link for ordering yearbooks coming soon!
Seniors can send their high resolution photos to ckay1@isd77.org
Application for Educational Benefits (Free and Reduced Lunch Application)
Starting September 5, 2023, the state of Minnesota started to cover the cost of one breakfast meal and one lunch meal for every student. Due to this, many families have not seen the need to fill out the application for educational benefits form.
It is important that families continue to fill this form out each year. Our school receives additional funding when families qualify for these benefits. Additional funding means more materials more staff, and more resources to meet the needs of your students.
There are two ways to apply:
1. Print, fill out, and return this application to Central High School
2. You can also apply in the Infinite Campus Portal by clicking on the "More" tab and then the "Meal Benefits" tab.
Please consider filling out this application. Funds from these benefits support your child's education.
