The Week in Reflection: 8/26

A Week of Capturing Memories

The beginning of the school year is always filled with activities such as orientations, class meetings, navigating new routes, classes...all to set up the new normal.  Can you believe that we are concluding week two already!? There are so many amazing things that our staff and students were accomplishing this week towards the mission of our school district committing to high achievement for all students.
​
If you are unaware of this blog called the Week in Reflection, the purpose of this communication is to share with everyone all the work happening at CHS each week from a principal's perspective. This newsletter is a very therapeutic (and time-consuming) reflection of all the things that I see each week. 

You will see photographs, short reflections, opportunities, and event information. I am not an author. I am just a simple man that loves what I do...I love kids and want to help each child find their purpose. In this Week in Reflection, you will read and see so many wonderful opportunities and experiences that show the engagement of our students and staff within our mission.

The week was filled with teachers and students expanding their knowledge as they began to dig deeper into the standards in each course. It was a warm week, but certainly beautiful. Take a few moments to peruse all of the great things happening at CHS.

Transportation Procedures

Chardon High School

For students at Chardon High School (grades 8-12) being dropped off and/or picked up, the procedures have adjusted with the two-tier transportation model for the district.  Parents dropping-off/picking-up at Chardon High School enter the school campus via Maple Avenue, drive in front of the high school, and exit via Memorial Drive onto Chardon Avenue.

Students at Chardon High School (grades 8-12) riding the school bus will enter the school building through the main school entrance beginning at 7:15 AM.  School buses will be staged for students in the afternoon in front of the high school, on Memorial Drive, and in the Alcan; and will exit the campus both via North Street and Memorial Drive.

Important note for students dropping off middle school siblings: Student drivers may drop off using the front of the middle school at 7:10 AM. Students will then head north towards Canfield to enter the student parking lot.

All Parents/Guardians

Please be mindful of the following afternoon directions:
  • Students (grades 8-12) at Chardon High School will be dismissed at 2:40 PM.  The main drive will open for regular access at 2:55-3:00 PM. All Parents picking up their children directly after school must park in the student lot before 2:40 PM. All student drivers and students being picked will be dismissed to the student lot. Parents and students will be able to move more efficiently from this location rather than waiting behind the busses. Parents may NOT enter the High School side lot or CELC (Maple) while waiting to enter the main driveway or the apartments across the street from Chardon High School. Furthermore, Middle School parents will not be using the high school driveway. Any car waiting in advance for dismissal will be asked to clear the main drive until the allotted time.
  • Student drivers will use the east exit (4 doors) through the staff lot to the student lot.  
  • Student drivers will use the north gate and exit towards Canfield after school. The South gate will be closed for students who are walking across the crosswalk.

Lab of the Week

AP Physics C performed their final Barbie Bungee drops off the back of the student bleachers. The goal of this activity is data extrapolation. Students had to determine from their initial drops of 1.5 M and below how many rubber bands it would take for Barbie to have a thrilling bungie ride but not impact the ground from 5.37 meters. The group with the closest drop to the ground was declared the winner!

Come and be part of the fun! Our next After Prom Meeting is Wednesday, Sept. 14 at 7:00 pm in the CHS Media Center.

We are in immediate need of many concession volunteers for Sept. 2 & 3. Here is the link to sign up:  https://www.signupgenius.com/go/30e0544aba728a0f49-football1
