 Welcome to Literacy Week '17 at CHS. Established by the Florida Department of Education in 2009, CHS is proud to be a participant this year. The theme for this year's event is "Literacy Changes the World." Please take note of the special events we have planned for the week just below.
As a reminder to our parents/guardians, the 2017 School Climate Survey is now online. This short, anonymous survey is essential to our ongoing school improvement efforts. If you have a student attending CHS, kindly invest a few moments to take this year's survey.
Thank you for looking over this latest issue and best wishes for successful week ahead.
It's Great to be a Grenadier!
Jose T. Martinez
Principal
Colonial High School

If you no longer attend or have a student attending CHS and do not want to read our weekly updates, you may opt out at the very top of this issue. However, if you do so, your email will be permanently removed from the system as a security step. We hope you will continue.

Alternatives to School Suspension
 Every parent has high hopes and dreams for their children when they enter school. In OCPS, our children are met by caring adults who provide engaging instruction with the goal of helping each child achieve success and reach their dreams. However, there are times when children may engage in behavior that results in a temporary separation between the child and the school, known as a suspension. OCPS has a program to assist students who are suspended from school to ensure that every child has the opportunity to learn every day. Parents whose children may be suspended are invited to contact one of our alternative to suspension education sites. At these sites, children will be supervised by a team of adults, receive access to their education, gain life and social skill training, be provided breakfast and lunch, and treated with respect and dignity. Because alternative to suspension education sites are regionally located throughout Orange County, parents may choose the site closest to their home, work, or other location. To learn more information, please visit
suspension.ocps.net or contact one of the following centers:
