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

CLASSES FOR PARENTS THROUGH UCSD COMMUNITY OUTREACH

Research and best practice suggest that meaningful discussions about education require those involved to speak a common language, albeit in different dialects. In appreciation of this precept, Education and Community Outreach through UCSD, offers contextually grounded programming for parents and caregivers under the auspices of Parent and Caregiver Education (PACE). Programming is delivered in English and Spanish without charge to schools, districts and community-based organizations.

PACE workshops are custom designed to attend to the unique needs of audiences in terms of content and delivery (face-to-face, blended/hybrid, and completely online). Each session is about an hour in duration and can be differentiated by age level (pre-kindergarten, elementary, secondary, and postsecondary) or tailored to meet the needs of multiage groups.

Workshops are augmented by short-form videos available for download from the Education Channel at University of California Television (UCTV) and companion guides that may be found at the University of California Professional Development Institute (UCPDI). These resources are also publicly available without cost.

Please use the link below to let us know what workshops you might be interested in.

PACE WORKSHOP PARENT SURVEY

Starting today, Monday, September 20, 2021, the Research and Evaluation Department will be using Digital Document Delivery, via PowerSchool, to send Student Score Reports (SSRs) from the Spring 2021 DEMI assessment to parents of currently enrolled students. The DEMI student score reports provide information to students and families on the district wide math assessment administered at the end of last year. If you have questions about your child's DEMI Score Report, please reach out to a member of the CHS Admin Team.

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.
