We have been notified by the township that all schools are cancelled tomorrow (Feb 11, 2012) due to the upcoming snow storm. All CHS classes will be cancelled accordingly.

Please also note that next week (Feb 18) is President’s Day holiday. So our school will resume classes on Feb 25, 2012. We are considering having a makeup school day on Mar 31, 2012, but will need to confirm the campus availability. Please stay tuned for further communication in regard to the makeup school day.

Also, the registration cutoff day (last day for registration — processing will incur a late charge) will be postponed to Feb 25.

Please stay warm. If you do need to drive tonight or tomorrow, please exercise caution and drive safely.
