4/7/2023 0 Comments The Week in Reflection: 4/7
Welcome Back!
We are literally going to fly through these last weeks so hold on. As I have shared over the last several weeks of communications, the upcoming long term schedule demonstrates the volume of tasks and events going on at CHS. As we march through the transition to this new season, we are longing for a stretch of dry and sunny days. With or without the unknown weather, this year has taught us the importance of patience and perseverance. Being patient creates opportunities for growth inside of us which will help us nurture our response to difficult moments. The next two months are going to pass us by in a blink of an eye. It is so important to pause and reflect on each opportunity in front of us. Likewise, demonstrating patience will expand our ability to persevere through moments in our lives that impact us at school, sports, our jobs, and even relationships. Spring Break Trips
The Baseball and Softball teams were overjoyed to begin their season in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina over the break. Both teams represented Chardon very well on and off the field! The fields were absolutely beautiful and the competition was strong. The relationships and memories built on the field, spending time with teammates, and bonding was extraordinary. The teams would like to thank all of the coaches who sacrificed their time, the families, countless hands, and our board of education for allowing this trip to occur. The teams are looking forward to seeing you in person this season!

NYC Trip: A Reflection by Mr. Streiff
On Thursday, March 23rd through Sunday, March 26th, the Chardon High School Choir Department traveled to New York City. It was a wonderful time with lots of music making, sights, memories, and friendships. We had a busy few days in the city.
Students saw Broadway shows Wicked, Hadestown, and Six. We toured Radio City Music Hall. We participated in two workshops. One with a renowned choral conductor from NYC and one learning song and dance with original cast members from the show Six. We heard the St. Thomas Boys Choir in the St. Thomas Cathedral. The group went on a boat ride of the harbor and visited the Metropolitan Museum of Art. We had a Q&A time with 5 CHS Alumni that live in NYC. We were joined by Rebecca Moser, Jill Allenby, Ian Taylor, Natalie Clark, and Stephen Blaugh. They shared with the students about living and working in NYC. They range in careers from design engineering, finance, advertising, musical theater, and IT. Thank you to everyone that participated in this special adventure. It was a pleasure traveling with you!

In an effort to promote the types of behaviors we would like to see in our school, during Topper Times, Freshman Mentoring, and Circuit periods over the past three weeks, students were engaged in lessons regarding the CHS Behavior Expectations. The expectations were created through the collaboration of the CHS PBIS team, staff, and students this school year. Below are the expectations as they align with our CHS Core Values, design courtesy of CHS students Cassie Bright, Jordan Cvelbar, Estefany Vazquez, Sadie Kuhnle, William Brooker, and Teagan Koehler: Special thanks to Ms. Mary Pat Pavicic and the entire PBIS team for their exceptional work this year.
End of Course Assessments
Chardon High School will administer end-of-course assessments beginning next few weeks to measure the academic progress of students. State achievement tests tell us how well our students are growing in the knowledge and skills outlined in Ohio’s Learning Standards. These tests help guide and strengthen future teaching so we can be sure that we are preparing our students for long-term success in school, college, careers and life. Transportation will run at regular times throughout testing. All Auburn Students will take their tests during the time we have scheduled at Chardon High School. All grade levels not testing will have a late start; Seniors must complete their capstone projects. Please watch the video below for additional details.

Dear Parents/Guardians of the Class of 2023,
Congratulations to the Class of 2023. In a few short months your son/daughter will be an Alumni of Chardon High School. Staff members are diligently preparing for the 150th Commencement Exercise on May 27, 2023. In an effort to communicate the responsibilities of this solemn event, we have enclosed the necessary information for every graduating senior and their families in this booklet. The graduation booklet contains all instructions, deadlines and expectations that our students must follow in order to meet the requirements of graduation. It is essential that the senior class maintain the level of maturity and responsibility they have shown this past school year. Please review this information with your child and help us emphasize the importance of setting a positive legacy for the Class of 2023. Please know how much we appreciate your flexibility, and patience as we plan and create meaningful experiences for your children. Images of the Week
