Frequently
Asked Questions
1. How
do I schedule a parent/teacher conference?
Parent/teacher
conferences can be scheduled by contacting the Counseling
Office. Most issues are resolved by phone. We will give
the teacher the contact information and have them to
call you. However, if a face to face meeting is necessary,
we will accommodate that meeting during the teacher’s
planning period or after school (depending on the availability
of the teacher). We also have parent teacher conferences
that are scheduled for October 25 & 30 and January
10 & 15 from 3:15 – 6:15pm.

is my child doing in class?
Contact your child’s
teacher by calling the front office and leaving a message
for the teacher or e-mail your child’s teacher
by going to the CHS website.

are the dates for student progress reports?
September 17, November
14, February 4, and April 10.
4. What
are the dates for report cards? October
22, January 10, March 17, and June 2.
5. Is
tutoring available at CHS?
Yes! Listen to the announcements for days, times and
locations. We have teachers that have tutoring before
and after school. We also have also have a Peer Tutoring
program that uses students to tutor those students in
need of help before and after school. Again, listen
to the announcements and check the school website for
more details.
6. How
do I request make-up work? Students
who are absent may request assignments through the CHS
Office. (475-5850) Students should check with their
teachers upon returning to class for their missed assignments.
7. How
do I withdraw my child from CHS? To
officially withdraw from school, a parent/guardian must
notify the CHS Counseling Office. On the last day of
attendance, the student should report to the counseling
to pick up a withdrawal form. Signatures must also be
obtained from designated persons in the school. This
completed form, along with an unofficial transcript,
will be given to the student when all records/debts
are cleared and lock and books and are returned.
8. How
does a student get promoted from one grade to the next?
A student must
earn 5 credits to be considered a 10th grader, 11 credits
to be an 11th grader and 17 credits to be considered
a 12th grader. If a student is retained in a grade,
it does not mean that they will not be able to take
courses for the next (higher) grade. Example: A student
passed English I, but only earned a total of 4 credits
during their freshman year. They are technically still
a freshman, but will still be able to take English II.
Students can “catch up” on credits by passing
all their classes, e4TN online classes or by doing Credit
Recovery for the core subject classes.
9. When
should my child first take the ACT? We
highly suggest that they take it during the spring of
their 11th grade year. Test dates on www.actstudent.org.
10. How
do I obtain record information about myself or my student?
We only have records
available dating back to 1993 that include information
such as, birth certificate, and immunization records.
We also cannot guarantee that information is in there.
11. How
do I obtain a copy of my transcript for myself or college?
All requests
must be in writing. There is a transcript request form
on the school homepage. We also can accept a fax that
includes the full name at the time of graduation, graduation
year, and birth date. |
