Senior Parents -
On Wednesday September 14th the CHS guidance office will be hosting an APPLY TO COLLEGE CAMPAIGN DAY in accordance with the EducationQuest college fair hosted at Chadron State College. Our goal is to show every senior how to apply to at least one college so that they feel competent and comfortable to apply to as many as they would like to in the future, as well as show them what an official college visit and tour looks like. Chadron State College will be hosting all of our seniors on Wednesday, September 14th. We will meet at school this day and walk up to the college together. In the morning all students will split up into small groups and attend a financial aid meeting, department meeting with professor, as well as an official tour. We will eat lunch in the college cafeteria (purchased by the guidance office at CHS), and in the afternoon we will attend the EducationQuest college fair in the new arena at CSC. Students will be released after the college fair, approximately around 2:30 and will be free to go home for the day. The list of colleges attending the fair are listed on the back of this letter. Seniors do NOT need a permission slip to attend as it will be considered a school activity and supervised by the CHS guidance office staff. ALSO take note of the senior financial aid parent meeting that will be held THIS MONDAY NIGHT, September 12th at 5:30. This meeting is for any parents interested in learning more about scholarships, college, FAFSA, and entrance requirements to two and four year colleges. The meeting will be held at the CHS in room 204 (NOT the auditorium). If you are unable to attend the meeting will be recorded and podcasted on my webpage: www.cardinalcounseling.weebly.com. Please follow the CHS guidance twitter and like the guidance facebook page for up to date information. Twitter: @cardscounseling Facebook: Chadron High School Guidance Office Please email if there are any questions: loni.watson@chadronschools.net I am writing to inform both parents and students of some very important program dates as we approach the beginning of the school year.
Fall Sports Meeting: Monday August 8th 6:30 p.m. All CHS students planning to participate in high school Fall sports need to attend the Fall sports meeting on Monday, August 8th. We will start in the auditorium and then have sport specific break out meetings. If you are considering a Fall sport please plan on attending. Freshman/New Student Orientation Monday August 8th 7:30 p.m. All 9th grade and transfer students need to attend a presentation in the HS auditorium at 7:30 p.m. with a parent or guardian. Your new student will also have the opportunity to see their schedule, check their locker and find their classrooms, which should eliminate some stress on the first day of school! Schedule Changes The deadline for Fall schedule changes was June 1, however I do understand that career interest and course changes can happen during the summer. If there are any students that would like to look at their schedules for a possible change this semester, I will be in my office each day until school starts. I would be happy to look at any schedule to see if a change is possible these next two weeks if the change is validated through a change of interest. However, there will be NO changing schedules once school begins, unless requested by a teacher or there is a mistake in your schedule (example: duplicate classes, missing pre-requisite class, ect). This means you cannot try out or “test” a class for a few days and then switch. Please see me now if needing a change. First Day of School Last reminder, first day of school is a 1:30 out on August 17th! We will start the day out in the HS auditorium. Enjoy the last two weeks of summer break! If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call or email. This is exactly what we believe in the guidance office at CHS!! Students and parents please watch! More career and college readiness to come, we are excited for the future!
