CCHS News and Announcements
Hello CCHS Families,
We held our first Open House last week on Wednesday. Thank you to those students and families who attended! We missed seeing many of the students and families attend this event. I hope those who attended school on Thursday enjoyed the wonderful meal the cooks prepared for the event and were able to take a bit of it home to share with your families. Families, please look forward to joining us in future events like this!
Homecoming is this week. There is float building happening each evening this week from 5:00-8:00 pm through Wednesday at the Bus Barn on Spruce Street. The parade will be on Thursday at 4:00 pm. The Homecoming dance for high school students at LCHS and CCHS will be Saturday, September 24th. If your student intends to participate in the school dance, they need to please let Ms. Kerrigan know by day end Thursday and if they are bringing a date from outside of LCSD, they must fill out the Guest Dance Pass approval form. Several sporting events will be taking place this week as well, make sure to get out and cheer on your Panthers.
Attendance is something we are struggling with at CCHS. We had only 40% attendance one day last week. Unless your student is ill, they should be attending each of their scheduled classes daily and on time. We have had students show up to one class and then leave and not return to their other classes. Phone calls will be going home to parents when we do not hear why a student is absent from a class. The instructors have prepared wonderful lessons and it is difficult to teach them when only one or two students are present in class. Students who are on a Work Based Learning plan need to be filling out their work log weekly. Parents, please help remind them to do this.
If you do have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to reach out to me. Email me at kkerrigan@lakecountyschools.net or by phone 719-427-0114.
