Please click here: MASK LETTER FROM CSO for the recent update from our Catholic Schools Office. Masks will be required in school beginning tomorrow, August 25, 2021. We continue together to work together to remain in person, in school as we fight this pandemic. Thank you again for patience and cooperation.
Attendance Reminders:
-
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
Baseball: Coach Glossner will hold a baseball interest meeting in room 531 on Thursday, August 26 at 3:30 PM. If you have any questions or are interested in baseball but cannot make the meeting, please email Coach Glossner at kglossner@htcms.net
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
Canceled: Prevention Starts with All: Dilworth Center community presentation Wednesday, September 8: This even has been canceled.
