How can I prepare for Latin?
- Do not be overly concerned with learning Latin in the summer. Teachers will assume that you have no prior experience with the language whatsoever. They will start with the basics.
- Plan on doing some form of homework in Latin every night once school starts. A good estimate would be 30-45 minutes. If there is no written assignment, students can always work on vocabulary flashcards (these will be thoroughly explained in the fall as well).
- Prepare a work area in the home that will be totally quiet and free of all distractions if possible.
Can we view grades online? How do we access that information?
PowerSchool is the online system where you will be able to access grades and a variety of information. Information about how to obtain a PowerSchool log-in will be a part of the orientation sessions.
When will I have access to my schedule?
Schedules should be available on PowerSchool on August 17. Principal Chambers will make a robo-call alerting parents that schedules are available to view on PowerSchool. All schedules are final with the exception of missing core classes or enrollment in the wrong class.
How do I find out about important dates?
School calendar/website: The Walnut Hills High School website www.walnuthillseagles.com is your go-to place for information and the school calendar.
How does my student buy lunch?
CPS will send out student lunch codes in the mail. Student lunches will be delivered to 7th and 8th grade classes during in-person classes. Money can be added to a student's account using the website www.schoolcafe.com. Adding money to your child's schoolcafe is highly encouraged for this year.
Free and Reduced Lunch: If your child is eligible to receive Free and Reduced Lunch please fill out the documents sent via mail from CPS. This will not only help to pay for lunch, but also provide a discounted rate for testing fees (ACT, SAT, AP, etc...) and summer school fees.
