Greetings Families,
It is report card time for 9/10th grade. Please check Powerschool on October 23rd for report cards.
We are holding an open house for 8th graders on October 30th from 6-8pm. If you have friends, neighbors, or family members that are looking at program choice options, let them know. We are looking for ways to spread the word about CHSI.
We have created a new Facebook page as another way for our community to connect. Please follow us!
Please reach out to us at CHSI if we can help answer any questions for you.
In partnership,
Ashley Short

Student Volunteer Opportunities
|
|
|
Juniors,
The Cabarrus County Education Foundation is seeking volunteers to help prepare books for our upcoming Book-a-Palooza events. Book prep events will be held at various times at CCEF’s Glenn Center Office, 120 Marsh Ave NW, Concord, NC 28025.
This Friday, October 25th is one of those times that is fast approaching and so wanted to let you know in order to share with your students.
Students will be preparing books (inventory, placing labels and sorting and packing books) for our upcoming events to be held at 5 of our elementary schools this fall. Another opportunity is helping to setup for Book-a-Palooza events in the afternoon prior to event day. We would love to have students’ help for either of these opportunities.
CCEF provides the Reading+Mentoring 4 Success program to CCS elementary schools to create a love for reading in all students and build reading proficiency. We do this through 3 pillars:
- Encourage pleasure reading by expanding students exposure to a wide variety of book topics, characters, etc.
- Build students’ home libraries so they can read anywhere, anytime
- Mentor striving readers 1-on-1 to build necessary skills for reading literacy success
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.
Thank you,
Amy Gough
Executive Director
**You cannot miss your classes to volunteer. You must have your own transportation.

10th Graders got copies of drug test results last week. Here are the directions for uploading these to EXAAT for college compliance:
Click “Current Students”
Click “Exxat – Prism” on the right hand side.
Log in using their K12 email address
All accounts should be activated, so if they cannot log in, they should reset their password.
Ms. Louallen will go over Exxat with them in CCS105 next week or the week after.

I created an Office Hour Calendar for the Fall semester (see attached). I will share this with 10th grade via their CCS105 Canvas Course and all students via the Early College Student Resource Center. While I am teaching CCS105 in the first 7 weeks, I will only one day/time each week for all students (regardless of grade level) to meet with me. Beginning mid-October, I will have office hours three days a week for all students to meet with me. If students need to meet with me outside my designated office hours, they need to schedule a meeting with me using the link in my email signature. My CCS105 office hours Tuesday-Friday from 2-2:30pm will occur at the college (office 127), but I would like to host my Monday office hours in the DEN if possible.
Schedule a Meeting with me:
