Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.

Beginning the Year Strong

  • CHCS Academic Awards

CHCS highlighted by Illuminate for increased academic rigor and student

achievement. Our case study is available on the CHCS website.

  • Immediate Needs for Exceptional Education

We continue to seek teachers for exceptional education, particularly for

middle school


  • Immediate Operational and Instructional Needs

We are using a survey to seek information regarding parent preference

for the 2020-2021 instructional format. At this point, most parent feel

most comfortable with a blended format. We need to be cognizant of

individual family issues.

  • Preparation for the June 18th CHCS Board Meeting

Based on family and staff input, we will propose 3 potential blended

models for beginning the 2020-2021SY.


Effective Planning for 2020-2021

  • Purpose and Function of the Academic Excellence Committee
  • Bi-weekly review of CHCS Operational Guidance actions from planning worksheet

We need clear and concise goals related to achievement. We need to

ensure our decisions are data-based.

Next Steps

What needs to be prepared for the June 18th board meeting?

Do our Action Leads have what they need?

Our plan is to develop 3 potential blended scenarios for families and staff members to consider with a focus on student achievement.
