Welcome Letter and Chromebook Distribution

It’s hard to believe that the school year is upon us.  The summer seems as if it just began, but at Chardon High School we have been busy preparing for another wonderful year.  We wanted to share some important dates with you to get your children prepared and informed for the upcoming year.

Thursday, August 13                  Open House                6:00 PM to 8:00 PM

Our teachers will be in their classrooms to welcome you and your children to Chardon High School.  Guidance counselors will also be on hand to answer any questions you may have.  Our format for the evening is a true “Open House.”  You have access to your student’s schedules on Infinite Campus.  We recommend that you print a copy of the schedule and stop by the classrooms at your convenience.

Thursday, August 13                 Freshmen Welcome      6:30 PM to 7:00 PM

There will be a special orientation for students new to the building.  We encourage all of our freshmen, new students and their families to attend this session.  We will meet in the gymnasium and introduce key staff members and review procedures.  Immediately following, Senior Mentors will be providing tours of our campus.  These seniors will be able to answer questions and provide directions around the building.

Friday, August 14                     Meet the ‘Toppers        7:00 PM to 8:30 PM

This program is designed to introduce our band and fall sports student-athletes and coaches.  This event will take place at Chardon Memorial Field and will be led by our Athletic Director, Doug Snyder.  This will be your opportunity to meet our student-athletes and familiarize yourself with our Chardon Boosters.

Monday, August 17                  Opening Day                7:30 AM to 2:31 PM

The first day of classes for the Hilltoppers!  All students will report to homeroom on Monday.  We will have a regular week of classes.  Our first late-start day will be Tuesday, August 25.  Classes will start at 8:17 AM on late-start days.
