HELP EARN MONEY FOR CHS STUDENTS WITH A FEW CLICKS OF A MOUSE

In order to ensure that Clairemont High School receives all the state funding we are entitled to, we need your help. Collecting fully completed LCCF (Local Control Funding Formula) information makes a significant difference in the amount of LCFF funding CHS receives. We are asking that ALL families follow the steps outlined on the Enter LCFF Data in PowerSchool Parent Portal Job Aid by this Friday, September 17, 2021. The process is very simple and takes only a few minutes. The privacy of your information will be upheld and will not be used for any other purpose. Our collective efforts to reach a 100% completion rate can make a huge difference in terms of the funding we are able to allocate toward programs and materials for your children.

If you have any questions about this process or need assistance accessing your Parent Portal account, please email CHS Site Technician, Mr. Steve Durham (sdurham@sandi.net) for more information. If you haven't set up your parent portal account, just follow these simple steps outlined HERE.

Thank you for your support.

Sincerely,

Principal Williams

CHS Player's Creed

It is the mission of the CHS athletics program to teach our student-athletes principles that will guide them for the rest of their lives. CHS athletics isn't just about better athletes, but better people. That is why we are so excited to launch our new CHS Player's Creed (see below). In collaboration with the CHS Athletic Leadership council and various stakeholders, the CHS Player’s Creed was developed to outline what we believe it means to be a CHIEF. Every student participating in athletics at CHS, as well as their parent/guardian will be required to sign the CHS Student-Athlete Contract which states the following:

As a student-athlete at Clairemont High School you have the privilege of being part of a memorable and life changing experience. With this privilege comes great responsibility. Therefore, it is the expectation of the CHS admin team and Athletic Director that all who participate in athletics actively work to model character and integrity of the highest quality in the classroom, on the court/pool/field, and in our community. By signing this contract, you agree to strive to live a life worthy of emulating by exhibiting Courage, Humility, Integrity, Endurance, and Focus in all that you do.
