USEFUL INFO

Teachers are most likely to respond to emails between 8:00 am and 3:00 pm.

​

The staircase by the media center (library) is the busiest.

​

The art classrooms are at the far end of the back hallway (by the gyms) and have a small staircase leading down to them.

​

There's a courtyard between the cafeteria and the guidance office. You can eat out there, but the doors are sometimes locked (or at least one of them is, usually the one closest to the main hallway).

​

In the morning enter through the front door farthest to the right and go straight through the second set of doors into the building. If you're late to school or are coming for afterschool activities enter through the door farthest to the left and push the button on the wall next to the door to be buzzed in by the office. Then take a left into the office and sign in.

​

The music (band and choir) classrooms' doors are in the hallways coming off of the back hallway (choir on the left, band on the right). The drama classroom's door is in the same hallway as the band room.

​

All classrooms in the academic wing have doors in the hallway in the academic wing, not the main or back hallways.

​

The media center's (library) door is past the main stairs on the second floor of the academic wing. 

​

Teachers are usually lenient about tardies for the first week or two (because people, especially freshmen, don't know where their classes are), but don't count on it.

​

Upperclassmen really don't care about what you're doing and aren't going to go out of their way to do something to you. Just don't intentionally do something to them. They all remember what it was like to be a freshman.

​

If you're lost ask a teacher for directions. If you can't find a teacher, students are usually willing to help.

​

Tech (laptop repairs and stuff) is in the media center (library).

​

iCampus is how you check your grades (and lunch fees, transcripts, etc.).

​

Outlook is how you check your email. https://login.microsoftonline.com/

​

Cell phones are generally not allowed during class or in the halls during school (between 8:05 and 3:05). They are allowed during lunch (though that may change) and with teacher permission in class (usually for a project).

​

Clubs want you to join. The classes at CHS are somewhat limited, so join clubs to make up for the lack of classes in subjects you may be interested in. Also, clubs are a great way to find new interests and make friends.

​

Expectations of you in high school are very different from those in middle school. You're expected to act mature and the teachers/staff won't hold your hand. You have more independence, but with that comes more responsibility. You're automatically given that day 1; don't lose it by doing something you may regret.
