CCHS News and Announcements
Hello CCHS Students and Families,
This week on Thursday, February 16th we are holding our Workforce Boot Camp Day. All students are required to attend this day from 8:00-3:30. We will have several members from the community here to speak with students about their career pathway and experts conducting mock interviews. Parents/Guardians, if you would like to join in being on one of our expert panelist tables, please let us know ASAP. For our Workforce Boot Camp Days in March and April we have had to adjust the dates we will be holding them due to our partners’ schedules. Look for those date changes to be sent out first of March and at March conferences.
Parent Teacher Conferences are just around the corner. Be sure to look for the link to get signed up. Remember, if a student has less than 50 percent of attendance and work completion in a course, they will be dropped from the course and will need to retake it at a later time. This may affect some of the students who intend to graduate this school year. Parents/Guardians make sure to be checking on attendance and that you are working with your students to get them to school on time and when they are scheduled to attend.
Duffy Council is looking for student volunteers for the Lions Club tent for Ski Joring weekend March 4th and 5th from 10:00-3:00 each day in the tent to sell hotdogs/brats/hot coco. If this is something you would like to do, please email Amy Peters at apeters@lakecountyschools.net to sign up.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me or any of the staff.

SNAP Benefit Changes:
Colorado Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) households have been getting an extra amount of benefits every month because of the COVID-19 pandemic since March 2020. These extra benefits are called “Emergency Allotments or Max Allotments” and most households have been getting them in addition to their regular SNAP benefits. These Emergency Allotments were authorized by Congress, but they are temporary, and will be ending at the end February 2023, because of the federal Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023. We fully understand that this Federal policy decision to reduce SNAP benefits will hit some Lake County households particularly hard.
How is Lake County Government Responding?
Lake County government will be providing ARPA funds to provide financial assistance to all SNAP households in Lake County. The following days are designated for SNAP head of households to come to the Lake County Department of Human Services (annex building) offices to receive this financial assistance on Wednesday, March 1 from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM and Friday, March 10 from 7:30 AM to 6:30 PM.
All SNAP household members can call the Lake County Department of Human Services if they have questions, by dialing 719-486-2088.
This information will be available in the coming weeks on the County Website, flyers posted around the community, within the Herald Democrat, and through direct mailing. Please share this information with your clients. If you have questions, please email Janeen McGee at Janeen.McGee@state.co.us or Tim Bergman at tbergman@co.lake.co.us
What is SNAP?
The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps low-income households in Colorado purchase food. It provides a monthly benefit that helps families and individuals buy the food they need for good health. SNAP is part of a federal nutrition program to help low-income households purchase food.
