Spring Fundraiser-Invest in Your Child!
Support CHSI and your child by investing in them!
Cash, Checks, and Electronic Donations 

We have a goal of $5000! 
We have $1535 raised so far and have 1 day left!

The PTO appreciates everyone who has invested in your child thus far. We are doing great, but we have a ways to go to meet our goal of $5,000. Therefore, we are asking each parent who have not invested to date to please invest $35 for your child by March 31st, that will allow us to exceed our goal. 

If you have any questions, please contact the PTO board: MaKisha, Dionne, Ericka or Amanda.

9th Grade Drug Screening

9th Grade Parents: As you know, before students can attend college courses next year, they must pass a drug screening. This is a mandatory requirement for all Cabarrus College students. Cabarrus County Schools and CHSI will pay for the cost of this screening if you complete it from April 1st - May 31st at Wolfe, Inc. We are sending home a letter that has more information with your student. You must take this letter to Wolfe when you report for your drug screening to get it for free. The hours of Monday-Friday 8am-5pm closed from 12pm-1pm for lunch. 

 

Meningitis Vaccine

Rising Seniors!

In the next few weeks your student will be bringing home a letter stating they will need the 2nd meningitis vaccine that is required by North Carolina law for all seniors. They will need to bring a copy of their immunization record as proof that they have received it by the 30th day of school which will be September 9th, 2025. If your student does not have the vaccine on or before the 30th day of school next fall, school year 2025-26, per NC General Statute 130A-155, they will be excluded from school until the vaccine is received. Please schedule an appointment for your child as soon as you can to ensure your student is able to get this vaccine prior to the deadline. If your student has already received the vaccine, please send in the proof of vaccination and disregard any future messages regarding this requirement. -Nurse Helms

Panorama Survey

We thank you and your family for being our valued partners as we work together to educate and support the children in our district. Cabarrus County Schools’ Destination 2025 strategically outlines the district’s goals and objectives to attend to all the social, emotional, and wellness needs of all students. Over the next several weeks, we will be asking all 4th through 12th grade students to reflect on their own mindsets and approaches to learning via an online survey they will be completing at school.

The Student Wellness Survey should take 15-20 minutes to complete. You may view all survey material posted on the CCS website. All students are encouraged to participate in the survey, as their responses along with teacher feedback, will provide important insights into their experiences and help our schools promote the well-being and success of all students. 

If you have any questions about the student wellness survey or wish to opt out your child, please don’t hesitate to contact Mrs. Short

The Spring Student Wellness Survey is set to launch March 24th through April 8th.

Here are copies of the student questions:
