We are ending our first week of virtual learning and pleased to say that we made it!! Yes there were some challenges, but with each challenge we leaned into it to find a resolution. We are known for quality instruction and we will meet and exceed that expectation during this time. We are working extremely hard, as you are, to ensure our kids are having a meaningful experience. Thank you for your patience, understanding and allowing for mistakes during this new reality. I don’t want to say we are settling into this new normal, because I don’t want this to be the new normal. WE WILL GET BACK TO NORMAL. We’ll take our lessons learned and apply them so when we return to our NORMAL operations, we’ll be in a better place than we were when we entered this crisis.

During this stressful time find your inspiration. I find my inspiration riding my bike. I rode to Port Washington this morning and captured this sunrise. Let this inspirational photo provide perspective and fuel your optimism as we embrace each and every day with a fresh outlook.

In addition, the District Satisfaction Survey window has been extended to April 10 for staff, parents and students. If you have not had a chance to complete the survey, please check your email for a link to the survey from School Perceptions. Students in grades 4-12 should expect an email reminder from the CSD Technology Team with a link to complete the survey. Unless your child has opted out, please encourage your child(ren) to take the survey. We are committed to ensuring that every student has a shared responsibility in the success of our schools and their feedback is valuable.

This week the CHS Student Services team began offering students in 9-12th grades the opportunity to request virtual check-ins. Topics can range from academic questions, college/career planning, or social/emotional concerns. During virtual counseling sessions, school counselors/psychologists will adhere to the same ethical guidelines they would in a school-based setting.
This service is not intended for emergency situations. If you or someone you know are in danger you should call 911. If you have any questions about this or would like to request a meeting, please reach out to a member of our student services team.
