Greetings CHS Sophomores!

I hope your 2024 is off to a productive start. February is a month commonly associated with loving others, but I want to challenge you to recognize the things you love about yourself and find gratitude in your growth.

 

We are only three weeks into the second semester, but this year will go by quickly!  Do your best to stay up to speed with homework and avoid missing assignments.

If you feel like you need extra help in any of your classes, after school tutoring is available in the library Monday-Thursday, 3:20-5:00.  You can also talk to your teacher about coming in to get help with them before school.

Classes are final and no more changes are allowed!

 ·         Fri. 2/2 – early release

·         Wed. 2/7 – GRADtime (assembly schedule)

 Are you looking for a summer job?

If so, please come to the CHS annual Job Fair.  This will be held Wednesday, Feb. 21st during both lunches in the Commons hallway.  Many eager employers will be here!

 DUAL ENROLLMENT

During your junior and senior year of high school you will have the opportunity to take college level classes for both high school and college credit.  This includes all South Dakota colleges, universities, and technical schools.

Dual enrollment for 1 credit costs FAR LESS than paying for the class at full price after graduation.

To keep your eligibility open to take advantage of having college classes while in high school, make sure to keep your grades up this year!

Junior year, you will need to meet one of the following criteria to qualify for dual enrollment:

·         Earn a cumulative GPA of at least 3.5+

·         Rank in the upper 1/3 of your class

·         Earn an ACT composite score of 24

 

Your monthly self-care reminder:

Self-Love looks different for everyone.  Look at the circle below and think about which area you need to show yourself more love in.  Is it how you talk to yourself in your own mind?  Is it setting boundaries or new goals for yourself?  Maybe you need to practice new coping skills when things get tough?

These are all things that only YOU can do for yourself.  How can YOU show yourself some love this month?
