Hello. This is Principal LaVerne Mattocks with important updates for Carrboro High School families. We appreciate the feedback we've received regarding the first two weeks of school and the structural changes for 2014-2015. As always, we will consider all the input we receive as we evaluate the impact of changes aimed at improving our student outcomes.
Announcements for the week:
(1) Thank you CHS Jaguars for your attention to the cleanliness of your Commons Cafe area. There is a noticeable improvement in the number of students responsibly clearing their own tables. Tomorrow, CHS Smart Lunch enters a new phase. We will not have mandatory sessions following fourth period classes. Students can, however, choose to attend the following on Monday, September 8: -Intramural Sports interest meeting in the gym during both lunches, -Quiet Room in the auditorium during both lunches, -English tutorials during A-lunch, -CTE tutorials during B-lunch, and, -Math tutorials with NHS Peer tutoring options during B-lunch. Seniors with approved passes may begin off-campus lunch as well. For more details and information about student options, speak with teachers, administrators, or guidance counselors.
(2) Thursday, September 11, the CHS PTSA will meet at 8:00 am in the Media Center. Last year was a banner year in terms of PTSA support for faculty, staff, and students. We are seeking to increase our membership and participation even more this year. We look forward to this year's first meeting.
(3) "EC Welcome Back to School Night", hosted by the CHS Special Education Department will be held on Wednesday, September 17, at 5:00 pm in the CHS Media Center. This will be an opportunity to meet the Special Education Department and learn more about the programs CHS offers our EC students.

(4) Wednesday, September 17, CHS Open House/Back to School Night begins at 6:00 pm. The night is designed for parents to briefly meet CHS teachers and gain insight on the academic expectations for 2014-2015. We hope everyone can attend!
(5) Please remember to regularly visit your CHS Website at chs.chccs.k12.nc.us. You will find a calendar of public events, contact information, and interesting stories.
