CHS has been distributing devices to their students this week. As of Friday, they had delivered to 80% of their student body. The district's first distance learning day is this Friday, and we want to make sure ALL of our students have their devices. Remember to complete the online policy form or pick up a hard copy from the office this week. If you choose the protection plan, pay at the office. All CPS sites will continue their distribution of devices this week, as well.

ALL STUDENTS EAT FOR FREE The USDA – in an unprecedented move, due to the pandemic – is going to make school breakfast and lunch available FREE to all children through December 31, 2020, but is subject to end earlier due to available USDA funds. Lunch and breakfast will be available free every day to all students 18 and under; effective Thursday, September 3. This means that even students who are not ordinarily part of the free or reduced lunch programs will also be included in these free meal distributions.

In honor of the Labor Day holiday, CPS will be closed on Monday, September 7th. Labor Day pays tribute to the contributions and achievements of American workers. It was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894. This weekend, as we spend time with our families and friends, celebrate the value of an honest day’s work, the people who built America, and our nation’s advancements because of the American labor force. #CPSZEBRAPRIDE #StaySafeToStayInSchool

Here is a link for the directions and electronic documents for the computer laptops. https://core-docs.s3.amazonaws.com/documents/asset/uploaded_file/877001/Device_distribution_HIGH_SCHOOL.pdf

Parents and Students: Computer Laptops: All of our traditional and hybrid students will receive a computer laptop here at the high school, but two items have to be taken care of first. A Technology Responsible Use Agreement and a Protection Plan selection document must be signed, and for those choosing the protection plan, the money must be received. There are two choices on how to sign the document. Electronically. If you have chosen this method, please check to see if the student signature is there. This has been a hold up for many students. If you are having trouble with this, you may fill out the hardcopy that was given out to the students during ZAP on Friday and that will be fine. Link to Directions and electronic document Hardcopy. This is a two sided document that needs to be filled out, signed, and returned. You only have to choose one of these methods. We had a great first two days here, and that is because we have the best teachers and students. Wearing masks, social distancing, and going down one way halls is very different for all of us, but I appreciate your cooperation and respect for the safety of everyone. Virtual and Hybrid Students: Please check your school email for communication from your teacher. Again, all of your directions will be on your student school email and your Google Classroom. Thank you and GO ZEBRAS! Kerri Garroutte Principal, CHS
