CHS Parent Engagement Nights: Monday October 22 and Thursday October 25 3:30 – 6:00 p.m.
In addition to conferencing with parents about student progress, the High School staff will be hosting several breakout sessions to provide parents with useful information about programs and services available to students and their parents. We hope these informational sessions will give parents and students the opportunity to engage in the process of student success. Sessions will start on the half-hour. Each session (Except the MSU Bear Partnership session) will last approximately 15 minutes. Feel free to come and go as you like.
