Parking at CHS is available in the main lot, the street and the visitor lot west of the stadium. Families who have the ability to use a rideshare service on this day are encouraged to do so. Families who are driving might want to have the driver drop off guests at the stadium entrance and then go find parking.
The ceremony is scheduled to start at 5:30 p.m. and will last approximately ninety minutes.
We have a photographer for this event. The photographer will take a picture of each student at the moment of recognition as well as many candid shots. The photos will be made available online after the ceremony for families to purchase.
We do not plan to video-record or live-stream this event.
Students should dress nicely for this event. The school dress code applies. Failure to follow the dress code will likely result in complete exclusion from the ceremony and there will not be time to go home, change, and return.
The turf field is brand new; stiletto heels are NOT permitted; wedges or block heels are acceptable. Students are encouraged to wear sneakers or flats.
Only designated staff and participating students are permitted to be on the field. This is applicable at all times (before, during, and after the ceremony). At the conclusion of the ceremony, students will meet their parents/guardians at the top of the ramp (SE corner of stadium). This means that parents will walk UP THE STAIRS from their seats to meet their child.
Balloons are not permitted in the stadium as they obstruct the view of others. Balloons should be left in vehicles.
Noisemakers are not permitted as they deny parents the opportunity to hear the speeches and the names of graduating students.
Pets are not permitted, with the exception of licensed and trained guide dogs.
Please leave our Stadium cleaner upon exit than it was upon entry.

El estacionamiento en CHS está disponible en el estacionamiento principal, la calle y el estacionamiento para visitantes al oeste del estadio. Se alienta a las familias que tienen la capacidad de usar un servicio de viaje compartido en este día a hacerlo. Es posible que las familias que conducen deseen que el conductor deje a los invitados en la entrada del estadio y luego vaya a buscar estacionamiento.
La ceremonia está programada para comenzar a las 5:30 p.m. y tendrá una duración aproximada de noventa minutos.
Tenemos un fotógrafo para este evento. El fotógrafo tomará una foto de cada estudiante en el momento del reconocimiento, así como muchas fotos espontáneas. Las fotos estarán disponibles en línea después de la ceremonia para que las familias las compren.
No planeamos grabar en video o transmitir en vivo este evento.
Los estudiantes deben vestirse bien para este evento. Se aplica el código de vestimenta de la escuela. El incumplimiento del código de vestimenta probablemente resultará en la exclusión total de la ceremonia y no habrá tiempo para ir a casa, cambiarse y regresar.
El campo de césped es nuevo; NO se permiten tacones de aguja; cuñas o tacones de bloque son aceptables. Se anima a los estudiantes a usar zapatillas de deporte o flats.
Solo el personal designado y los estudiantes participantes pueden estar en el campo. Esto es aplicable en todo momento (antes, durante y después de la ceremonia). Al finalizar la ceremonia, los estudiantes se reunirán con sus padres/tutores en la parte superior de la rampa (esquina SE del estadio). Esto significa que los padres subirán LAS ESCALERAS desde sus asientos para encontrarse con su hijo.
No se permiten globos en el estadio ya que obstruyen la vista de los demás. Los globos deben dejarse en los vehículos.
No se permiten matracas ya que niegan a los padres la oportunidad de escuchar los discursos y los nombres de los estudiantes que se gradúan.
No se permiten mascotas, con la excepción de perros guía con licencia y entrenados.
Deje nuestro estadio más limpio al salir que al entrar.
¡Gracias por hacer que este día sea positivo y divertido para todos!
