CHS Monthly Newsletter

October 2019

From the High School Office...

Happy Fall to our CHS Bulldog Family, This is definitely one of the best times of the year as Cedarburg orange starts to dominate the outdoor landscape.

We had an incredible start to the year. Student are settling in, classes are catching their rhythm, and Homecoming week reinforced what a great school and community we have.

October doesn't slow down too much from the crazy pace of September. We have many great upcoming events listed in our newsletter including the Alyssa Dorfler Memorial fundraiser, Jam 4 Charity, our Red Ribbon speaker, and many more athletic, arts, and extracurricular events.

As we head into October, this is the perfect time for students and families to connect with teachers for support, resources, insights, or just to simply keep the line of communications open.

Have a great October

Go Bulldogs!

Parents, there is new and improved access to your son or daughter's Canvas information. The directions are noted on this link which is also found under the Families tab on the website and labeled "Canvas for Parents 6-12." There are directions for desktop access where you have the "Observer" role and see much of the class content or the app instructions where you only see the calendar and grades.

Food Service Update!

Cedarburg School District Food Services has a new taco seasoning product that contains wheat. The taco seasoning is found is a couple of menu items including Kickin’ Pintos (11/7), Walking Tacos (11/8) and Chicken Quesadillas (11/29). These choices should not be eaten by students with a wheat allergy or celiac disease.

Congrats to Paige Schmit!

Paige scored a perfect 36 on the ACT!!! Only 0.195% of students across the country accomplish this feat. That is fewer than 2 of every 2,000 test takers. We are very proud of Paige and her accomplishment. That is not something you just wave a wand at and it happens. That accomplishment comes from years of hard work and determination. Great job, Paige!

Cedarburg Education Foundation

The CEF is looking for their next Student Ambassador to serve on the CEF Board as student representatives. This is a great opportunity for a student interested in business or like careers to be a part of a professional board, see the working dynamics of a non-profit organization, and offer student voice in how the CEF financially supports our students' needs at CHS. This is a great opportunity!
