National Honors Society

🎓 Are you a 10th, 11th, or 12th grader with a 3.5 GPA or higher?

You may be a great candidate for the National Honor Society (NHS) chapter at CAHS.

This is a great opportunity for high school students to receive national recognition for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, and character.

As an NHS member, your responsibilities will include attending chapter meetings, maintaining strong academic and behavioral standing, and participating in community service activities.

Please pick up an application at the front desk. Read all instructions carefully and complete the application in full; incomplete applications will not be considered.

Completed applications are due at the front desk by 3:00 PM on Tuesday, October 13.

Absent/Tardy Procedures

If your student is going to be absent or tardy, please send an email to plcattendance@classicalacademy.com or call the attendance line at (760) 462-1585 to excuse them.  Students who are excused to be tardy will then be issued a tardy pass at the front desk when they arrive.

If your student anticipates being absent from school for more than two weeks, please have them complete the Extended Absence Form and submit the completed form to the front desk at least two weeks prior to their planned absence.

Instructional Engagement

As a California independent study school, we are required to offer optional synchronous (live) instruction opportunities for students. This provides a chance for students to connect with a credentialed teacher in real time for academic support. There is no negative impact for the student if they do not attend.

At CAHS PL, synchronous (live) instruction opportunities are offered through workshop classes, synchronous virtual courses and Monday Office Hours. If you would like more information about times available to your student, please reach out to their teacher directly.

We are required to notify families when students do not take part (lack of attendance) and encourage all students to access the available resources.

Thank you for your continued support.
