Each family is asked to complete the Household Income Form (HIF), a completely private and confidential form that has a big impact on the funding our schools receive. Please complete the form today! If you have already completed the form, thank you!
The number of forms completed directly affects the resources available for our students, including FRYSC’s Backpack Buddies that go home with several of our students, e-rate funding that provides affordable high-speed internet, and many other essential programs that support families across our district.
Completing the HIF takes less than 3-4 minutes, and every student needs a form on file. Our goal is to have completed forms for 80% of our students.
Please take a few moments today to fill out your student’s Household Income Form. Your effort makes a lasting difference for our students, families, and schools.
HIF FORMS ARE DUE TOMORROW, OCTOBER 1!

💛 Our Sources of Strength team had their first meeting of the season last week!
Our meetings always include three things: 🎲 a game, 💛 pouring into ourselves, and 📣 planning campaigns to support our school community.
We’re excited for another great season of building connections, spreading positivity, and making CCHS a stronger community! 🐾
One of our PBL groups officially delivered their FIRST prototype of their phone cart to teachers today! 💛🖤
This group identified a real need in our school and has been working through the process of planning, designing, building, and now TESTING their solution!
The best part? This is only the first prototype! 👏 Our teachers will get the opportunity to use the cart and provide feedback so the students can determine what works, what needs to change, and how they can improve the next version.
This is exactly what PBL is about! Solving real problems, creating something meaningful, learning from feedback, and making improvements along the way.
So proud to see our students’ ideas starting to come to life! 🐾💛🖤

Ms. Coulter’s Science In Context students have been reading The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind, and today they put their problem-solving skills to the test!
Their challenge: Build a wind-powered device using a hair dryer that could lift a cup off the floor. 💨🥤
Here are a few of their creative designs in action! 💛🖤🐾
Our staff had a little fun celebrating with Dolly-inspired drinks from the 9 to 5 Drink Cart! ☕🥤
As Dolly says, “Find out who you are and do it on purpose.” 💖
Thank you to Carroll County Champions for helping our students make a difference! 🐾
Staff at CCHS can be on the lookout for new phone carts, an in-house car wash/detail business, and a Panther Nation podcast.
Other groups are continuing to plan and propose big things.

Today, our Education students stepped into the role of classroom designers! Students were challenged to create their own classroom layouts while thinking about much more than where the desks should go.
They had to consider student learning, safety, accessibility, classroom management, organization, and inclusion. Their designs included clear walking paths, wheelchair accessibility, emergency routes, flexible seating, small-group spaces, quiet areas, technology, supplies, and more.
The goal was simple: create a classroom where ALL students can learn, move, participate, and feel like they belong. 💛🖤
It’s exciting to watch our future educators begin thinking like teachers and realizing that even the way a classroom is arranged can impact student success!

On Monday's staff are teaching students how to goal-set for the week. Students are tracking their academic progress and attendance throughout the week with the ultimate goal of being better than last week's version of themselves.
Students turn in their PROWL cards on Fridays to celebrate their individual success, and they also have a chance to win prizes for their participation.
Ask your student what their weekly goal is and how they are working to achieve this!
Students are goal setting, tracking their progress weekly, and we have some exciting plans in place to recognize their achievements!
Every 9 weeks our students have the opportunity to earn Panther Cards for their attendance, behavior, and academic achievements. The more they achieve, the more rewards that are in store!
Help your student by encouraging them to earn all 3 rewards this quarter!
