1. From the Principal's Desk
Dear Members of the CHS Community:
Happy Friday. As we prepare to observe the Martin Luther King, Jr. holiday on Monday, January 17, we are also watching for the potential of winter weather early in the week. We used all of our traditional snow days during last week’s snowstorm. Any future inclement weather days will include virtual learning whenever possible.
We all need to prepare in order to have a successful inclement weather virtual learning day. CHS teachers and staff are working hard to ensure students have the devices and accessories they need and have worked with students to make sure they know how to access their assignments in Schoology and log into Zoom.
At home, we ask that you do a few simple things that will make an inclement weather virtual learning day run smoothly:
- Make sure students charge their devices.
- Remind your child that the inclement weather virtual learning day schedule includes a two-hour delay so they can check their devices and make sure they are able to log in properly. (See schedule below)
- Remind your child that attendance will be taken on inclement weather virtual learning days.
- Please also complete the Technology Readiness Steps for Students with your child:
1. Log onto your laptop with your student ID and password.
2. Connect your laptop to your internet connection.
3. Login to Google account. In the Chrome browser, go to www.fcpsschools.net, sign in with your fcpsschools.net account.
4. Log into Schoology. Make sure you can access your courses.
5. If you have any issues with these steps from home, go to the Tech Support for Families page, to submit a ticket for support.

 Have a great holiday weekend,
Scott

8. Recent Student Successes
This is the next installment for the school year of what has become a weekly segment aimed at recognizing students for demonstrating recent improvement or achievement in academics, behavior or citizenship. At the end of each recognition, you will see the name of the nominating teacher or staff member. On a rotating basis, departments will nominate students. I meet with recognized students each week to congratulate them in person.
