Dear CHS Families,
It is hard to believe, but we are already beginning our process for course selection and registration for next school year! On the following page we have outlined our timeline and process for 2019-2020 course requests and registration. Here you will find information about the process for students to review the CHS Program of Studies with their HomeBase teachers and register for courses for 2019-2020.
HomeBase teachers have already begun guiding students through three extended HomeBase sessions. These three extended HB’s are designed to provide the “thinking” time for course selection. The electronic registration process is the mechanical component to registering for classes, which will happen in Humanities classes. We would like to thank the 9-11 grade Humanities teachers for providing class time for our electronic registration process.
On another note, one of the many things that happen in schools across Vermont (and the country) during the spring is administration of standardized tests. Students are required (by state and federal law) to take standardized tests in English Language Arts (9th grade), Math (9th grade), Science (11th grade), and a Fitness assessment (9th grade). These tests are designed to assess student achievement in these areas. Testing will happen during a student’s scheduled class time in most cases.
Quarter 2 report cards were mailed out last week. As always, please let us know if you have any questions or concerns.
We look forward to seeing you on March 5th for Family-Teacher Conferences!
Warmly,
Heather BaronPrincipalFollow us on Twitter: @CHSLakersVTLike us on Facebook: Colchester High School
Scheduling 2019-2020January 28: 45 minute homebase: Program of Studies and Talking Points:
The purpose of this is to provide time for students to read and review the CHS Program of Studies.
During this Homebase teachers read and review with students “Talking Points” from each department area. The talking points highlight key points that students need to know about each department’s course catalog.
February 4: 45 minute HB: 4 Year Credit Check and A/B Day Grid:
The purpose of this HB is to give students the opportunity to review their CHS transcript.
Reviewing the transcript is important for two reasons: it allows us to catch computer errors, as well as reminding students of what they have already taken. As students review their transcript they will work with their Homebase teacher to complete the 4 year credit check form. It is very important that students have time to review the transcript and complete this form prior to course registration as it helps your student determine what courses to take for the following year.
February 11: 45 Minute HB: Registration (PAPER)
The purpose of this HB is to have students sign up for next year’s classes on a paper form.
The paper forms are designed to make the online registration easier. It also provides think time to students so that when they are ready to electronically sign up the process is more efficient and accurate
Electronic Registration:Please note that students will register electronically for classes during the second week in February. You will be able to view their course requests in Parent Portal. You will NOT be able to see the students ACTUAL schedule until they are mailed home this summer by guidance. Any student who is absent will be registered by a guidance counselor. All students who attend one of our technical centers will be registered at their respective schools prior to February break.
Dear CHS Families,It is hard to believe, but yes, we are already beginning our process that signs your student up for next years courses! Below we have outlined for you our timeline and process for 2019-2020 course requests. The intent of this document is to outline for you how students will register for classes and what role homebase teachers have registering students.You will see in our timeline that homebase teachers will guide students through three extended homebase sessions. The three extended HBs are designed to provide the “thinking” time for course selection, while the electronic registration process is the mechanical component to registering for classes. We would like to thank the 9-11 grade Humanities teachers for providing class time to our electronic registration process.
Thanks,

Spring 2019 Family Teacher ConferencesTuesday, March 5th 10:30AM - 6:30PM
Dear Parents/Guardians,
Our Spring conference day is scheduled for Tuesday, March 5th and conferences will run from 10:30AM-6:30PM.
Please be aware that teachers holding conferences on the first floor will break for lunch from 1:00-1:30 PM, teachers on the second floor will take lunch from 1:30-2:00 PM. Please refer to the building map provided on conference day for teacher locations.
We will have a modified drop-in format for conferences this year. Each CHS teacher is assigned a classroom where conferences will be held. When you enter the building you will receive a copy of your student’s schedule along with a school map informing you of where teachers are located.
Parents can visit teachers at their convenience during conference hours. Conferences are expected to take no more than 15 minutes. We do not make or take requests for conference times with a specific teacher or team in advance. We strongly encourage all CHS parents to attend our parent teacher conference day.
The drop-in format has been in place for the last few years. Every CHS teacher will have a sign-up sheet outside their door. Once parents arrive at CHS you can locate the teachers that you would like to speak with and sign up for a time slot on their door. The sign-up sheet is designed to decrease the waiting time that some parents may have experienced in the years past.
Please remember that you may call guidance and/or special education at any time to request a meeting with a teacher or team. CHS Teachers may schedule a longer conference with parents through the guidance office for a later date if a more detailed meeting is required.
How do Parent Teacher Conferences Work?● Pick up student’s schedule and map of teacher locations in the cafeteria.● Determine which teachers you would like to speak with.● Circulate throughout CHS to meet with all of the teachers you would like to see.● If teachers have a line, feel free to sign up on the sign up sheet on their door!

Family-Teacher Conferences we are offering:
Ask An AdminDuring this drop-in style session in the Library, you can meet with one of the five administrators and ask questions about things like proficiency, vaping, and resources available for

The Library was happy to host the end-of-the-semester Statistics class presentations. Lots of great projects and enthusiastic presenters.
As first semester classes ended, Exam Week began. Always a stressful time, the Library offered Exam Wellness Week. We do this every semester and it is welcomed by students, teachers, and staff. Aromatherapy, chocolate, fresh fruit, games, and lots of words of encouragement were available throughout the week. We hope it helped!
The exam week schedule also gave us an opportunity to offer a database training to CHS staff. Several paraprofessionals attended the hour-long intro to research databases the library uses, including Britannica and Vermont Online Library. Both resources offer digital tools that make student research more accessible for all.

2018’s Award Winning BooksAvailable at the CHS Library!
We Are Okay by Nina LaCour Winner of the Printz Award for Excellence in Young Adult Literature
Marin hasn’t spoken to anyone from her old life since the day she left. No one knows the truth about those final weeks In California. Not even her best friend Mabel. Now at college in New York, Marin still feels the pull of the life and tragedy she’s tried to outrun. Months later, alone in an emptied dorm for winter break, Marin waits. Mabel is coming to visit and Marin will be forced to face everything and confront the loneliness that has made a home in her heart.
Darius the Great is Not Okay by Adib KhorramWinner of the Morris YA Debut Award
Darius Kellner speaks better Klingon than Farsi, and knows more about Hobbit social cues than Persian ones. He’s a Fractional Persian—half, his mom’s side—and his first trip to Iran is about to change his life. Darius never fit in at home, and probably won’t in Iran. Clinical depression and trying to explain his meds to his grandparents only makes things harder. Then Darius meets Sohrab, the boy next door, and everything changes. Sohrab calls him Darioush—the Persian version of his name—and Darius has never felt more like himself than he does now that he’s Darioush to Sohrab.
Piecing Me Together by Renée WatsonCoretta Scott King Award Winner & Newbery Honor Book
Jade must get out of her poor neighborhood to succeed. Her mother tells her to take advantage of every opportunity that comes her way including the private school she takes a bus to everyday. She's tired of being singled out as someone who needs help, someone people want to fix. Jade wants to speak, to create, to express her joys and sorrows, her pain and her hope. Maybe there are some things she could show other women about understanding the world and finding ways to be real, to make a difference.

Hey, Kiddo by Jarrett J. Krosoczka National Book Award Finalist & YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction Nominee

His father is a mystery -- Jarrett doesn't know where he his or even what his name. Jarrett lives with his grandparents. So, Jarrett goes through his childhood trying to make his non-normal life as normal as possible, expressing himself through drawing even as very little is being said about what’s really going on. Only as a teenager can Jarrett begin to piece together the truth, reckoning with his mother and tracking down his father.
The Poet X by Elizabeth AcevedoNational Book Award for Young People’s Literature

With Mami’s is determined to force Xiomara to obey the laws of the church. Invited to join her school’s slam poetry club, how she can she attend without Mami finding out?

Project Grad takes place on June 15, 2019 (the night of graduation), and goes all night long! The event provides CHS graduates with an opportunity to celebrate with their classmates in a safe, drug & alcohol-free environment.
Project Grad IS NOT organized by CHS staff or the administration. It takes a team, a collective effort of parents and student volunteers, to pull off an event of this size. In other words… WE NEED YOUR HELP! There will be numerous opportunities to contribute throughout the year, and there is plenty of work to go around.
The Project Grad Committee is starting work on what this year’s celebration will offer. To ensure that you are up-to-date with the latest information, please add your info to our mailing list by emailing Tiera Porter at [email protected]. You can also join our Facebook group. Look for Colchester High School Project Grad 2019 and ask to join.
Our next meeting will be Wednesday, February 6th at 7pm in CHS room 101. Please join us as this will be an important meeting about the day of Project Graduation Events and gifts.

If you’re interested, pop in and chat with a youth librarian about your availability—please note this is a commitment beyond the 10 hours you may be required to complete for a class. If you’d like to read to kids this summer, talk to Kelsey soon!

If you didn’t sign up for one of last season’s practice tests the spring line up is on our website of free SATs and ACTs for you to practice. If you don’t sign up, and there aren’t at least 8 people for each, sadly Kelsey has to cancel to sign up early! As usual, call or email the library if you have questions or suggestions!
