A Student's Prayer by St. Thomas Aquinas
"Come, Holy Spirit, Divine Creator, true source of light and fountain of wisdom! Pour forth your brilliance upon my dense intellect, dissipate the darkness which covers me, that of sin and of ignorance. Grant me a penetrating mind to understand, a retentive memory, method and ease in learning, the lucidity to comprehend, and abundant grace in expressing myself. Guide the beginning of my work, direct its progress, and bring it to successful completion. This I ask through Jesus Christ, true God and true man, living and reigning with You and the Father, forever and ever."
Our Lady of Mercy and St. Joseph pray for us.

News for CCHS Parents
Attendance Reminders: * Please follow these procedures *
-
Early Dismissal: If your student needs early dismissal, please have them bring a note to the attendance office first thing in the morning with their name and exact time of dismissal. This will allow your student to leave school without a parent entering the building to sign them out.
-
Return to school after an absence: A parent note is needed for documentation after any student absence.
-
Please refer to page 11 of the student handbook for more attendance policies: https://www.charlottecatholic.org/domain/138
New School Year Forms to Return: Parents, If you have not returned your forms, please ask your student for the packet they received in homeroom and fill out and sign all forms and have your student return them to school via homeroom in the same envelope you received them as soon as possible, they were due last week.
PTO Dues: The PTO has a great year planned for our teachers, staff and students:
Understanding the eBook process on the CCHS Online School Store:
- When eBooks are purchased, if it is your first purchase on the new school store (or you never set up an account), you will be prompted to ‘activate’ your account.
- This is your PayK12 account activation. The school office has no way of reissuing this email or activation. That is a customer service issue with PayK12 that they must address. This activation has nothing to do with the eBooks you purchased, but will make viewing receipts, orders, tickets purchased, etc. much easier.
- EBook licenses/codes (from purchases on the CCHS School Store) will be handled in the classroom, with the teacher. Teachers receive reports from the school store indicating who has paid. If you purchased after the last report the teacher received, you may be asked to show your receipt.
-
If you have a receipt for the eBook your student has not yet received, please email a copy to your student’s email, so they can prove purchase to the teacher, if asked. This will expedite their receipt of the eBook license/code. Submitted by Maria Perez MEPerez@charlottecatholic.com
