Speaking of Shopping . . .
Apparel Orders Due By Noon TOMORROW
Our School Store is currently closed due to construction in the front office and it may not open until the beginning of August. With that in mind, we've added a few new dress code-approved items for the fall that you can only order here. Just  click here for the order form. All orders will be available at New Family Orientation on August 11 or for pick up once school starts. There are other items available in the store and I'll let you know when we're back open for business.

IMPORTANT:  All order forms and payments are due BY NOON TOMORROW, Wednesday, July 17 to ensure that everything will be ready by Orientation. Checks should be made out to "CCHS" and the office is open from 8:00 a.m. - noon. I realize this short timeline may not work for everyone but don't worry, we'll stock extra items and have them available once school starts.

School Supplies List
Here is a list of school supplies by class. In addition to this list, plan on spiral notebooks and pocket folders for each class and pens/pencils/highlighters for writing. If you do not see a certain class listed, that means your student will receive info on the first day of class. This is a Google Doc and may be updated again before the school year begins so be sure to check back occasionally.
