Student Food Delivery Policy
We are getting a number of fast food deliveries for students during the day. The deliveries are coming both directly from restaurants like a pizza delivery and from independent companies like Door Dash, Uber Eats, etc. You are welcome to bring your student lunch and drop it off in the front office, but please refrain from having outside companies deliver food to your student. We cannot accept these deliveries, and we will not call students from class to retrieve or pay for them. Please ensure you share this information with your student. Thank you for your help!
CHS Dance Fundraiser
Please consider supporting the CHS Dance Program by hanging out and eating with your family and friends!
