Heartfelt Thank You (Principal's Appreciation Month) Heartfelt Thank You (Principal's Appreciation Month)

Dear Parents and Students,


As we celebrate Principal Appreciation Month, I want to take this opportunity to express my heartfelt gratitude to both parents and students for your incredible support and dedication to our school community. This month serves as a reminder of the vital roles you each play in making our school a welcoming and inspiring place for learning.


To our parents, your involvement is the backbone of our success. Whether you are attending school events, volunteering in the classroom, or encouraging your children at home, your contributions have a profound impact. Your engagement fosters a strong partnership that not only enriches our school culture but also helps our students thrive academically and socially. Thank you for entrusting us with your children’s education and for being active participants in their growth.


To our students, you are the heart of our school! Your enthusiasm, curiosity, and commitment to learning inspire us every day. It is your hard work and determination that motivate the entire staff to strive for excellence. We are so proud of your achievements, big and small, and we encourage you to continue embracing new challenges and pursuing your passions. Remember, you are capable of amazing things!


Together, as a united community, we have the power to create a nurturing environment where everyone feels valued and supported. I encourage both parents and students to continue engaging with us. Your ideas, feedback, and involvement are crucial as we work together to provide the best educational experience possible. Thank you once again for your trust, support, and partnership. It is an honor to serve as your principal, and I look forward to the exciting journey ahead—filled with opportunities for growth, learning, and achievement for everyone.


Warmest regards,

Principal Davis

I Voted - Contest - 2024 I Voted - Contest - 2024

Updated 11/2/2024

Our third “I VOTED” sticker contest is going on right now. The goal is to encourage scholars to learn more about the democratic process and to inspire registered CH parents, staff, and families to vote in the November election.


Here is how it will work:


  • Campuses will collect “I VOTED” stickers from scholars during early voting (October 21 - November 1) and on election day (November 5)

  • Scholars and staff can collect the “I VOTED” stickers from their neighbors, family members, and others once they have cast their ballots.

  • Scholars and staff should turn stickers into their campus to be counted and submitted at the end of the campaign.

  • Campuses will email their sticker count to Rebecca Garza on Nov 8, 2024.

  • The winning campus will receive a prize on a day to be decided after the winner is announced.



Parents, you can give your stickers to your scholar and they can turn it in to the front office.

BUS TRANSPORTATION BUS TRANSPORTATION

Bus Assignments


Each scholar, new or returning, must register for Transportation services through their student skyward account. Students will only be scheduled on one school bus to one primary residential address.


A non-eligible student may not ride on a school bus unless they have received a Temporary Scholar pass from the home campus principal or other designated administrator.


Arrive at Pick-Up 5 Minutes Early

Times posted on this site reflect the expected time the bus should arrive during good weather. Inclement weather or traffic congestion may cause the route to run later than the posted time. We ask that all students be at their bus stop 5 minutes before the scheduled time to avoid missing the bus.

Dropping Off Kindergarten-2nd Grade Students

Parents or a documented designee must be at the bus stop to receive students ranging from Pre-Kindergarten to 2nd grade. If no one is there to receive the student, the student will be returned to the campus.


It is the responsibility of the parent to see that students who are returned to school are picked up. Any student returned three times will have his or her riding privileges suspended for the remainder of the school year.



Designated Stop/Changes

Students will be picked up and dropped off at the student’s designated bus stop. Only one location for pick-up and drop-off will be allowed.

BUS STUDENT CONDUCT REMINDER BUS STUDENT CONDUCT REMINDER

Consequences for Violation of Conduct:


The school bus is an extension of the classroom and campus, and discipline will be administered by campus administrators. All school board policies that apply to student conduct and other student-related activities apply to the school bus.


  1. The driver may pull the bus over and stop to safely manage student behavior.

  2. If the student refuses to comply with a reasonable request, the driver will report the incident to the Assistant Director or Director upon returning to the Transportation Department.
  3. The Operations Supervisor shall investigate the incident and notify the driver of the action taken.


Note: In the case of serious misconduct that endangers the safety of other students or the driver, the student(s) may be removed from the bus by any school official or law enforcement official.

The district has updated our Academic Calendar for the upcoming school year. Spring Break has been changed. Spring Break will now be observed from March 10-14, 2025, moving up one week earlier from the previously scheduled dates of March 17-21, 2024.
