SHOUT OUTS & SCHOOL INFO

IMPORTANT YEARBOOK INFORMATION


Purchasing Information and Extra Senior Opportunities

Hey Chiefs! The time to purchase your Yearbook is now! To purchase this year’s book:


Go to the “Campus Life” tab on the CHS Website, and select the Yearbook option. This will bring you to the Balfour website, where you will be prompted to select your student's name and grade.

If you have a Senior student this year, you can purchase a section or page in the yearbook to commemorate their accomplishments over the years, and their time at CHS:

Once you input the student’s information, if you’ve selected a senior, the website will show you pricing and set up information to help buy and design your senior ad, in addition to purchasing a book.

Additionally, we’ve set up the form to submit Senior baby photos. We are looking to have all of these photos by February 15th, so submit them ASAP. You can submit a scan or digital version of your student’s baby photo using the form, or if you’d prefer, you or your student can drop off the photo in a ziploc bag with the student’s name attached to room 209 or Jimenez's mailbox in the front office, and we will scan and input the photo for you, and then return the physical photo to your student once we’re done.


If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to reach out at any time via Email at clairemontyearbook2022@gmail.com or Instagram @clmtyearbook.

ASB PRESS RELEASE

ACADEMICS

NEW CHS ELECTIVES WEBSITE

Electives are an important part of the high school experience. They provide students the opportunity to explore their their passions, discover new interests, narrow down the subjects they’re not that interested in, and get the most out of their educational experience. With the articulation process right around the corner, students will begin selecting the courses they would like to take next school year. In an effort to learn more about all the electives CHS has to offer, Mr. Sparks's Video Production students created the following website. Be sure to check it out!
