Chaparral High School -

Welcome from the Principal

Dear Chaparral Parents and Students:

Welcome to Chaparral and the 2011-12 school year!  We are looking forward to school starting on Tuesday, September 6, 2011.

Students we hope you had a great summer and are focused on completing your goals for this school year. We are looking forward to having a school year where we can support you in your academic endeavors and provide the opportunity for after school activities through our ASSETS Program. We are also looking forward to continuing our Prom Night and need you to get involved in ASB to make it another successful year for our students.

Parents, we are pleased to have you as partners in the educational process.  As the year progresses and you have questions or concerns please talk with us to get the help and attention that you deserve.  If you have questions regarding in-class issues, please start with talking with the classroom teacher. Our counselors and assistant principals are always available to assist you as well, should the need arise. We are a small school and you will have instant access to anyone of our staff to be able to help you and your student.

One of our goals is to ensure that the parents and guardians of students, and the students themselves, feel at home at Chaparral. To keep you informed of your student’s academic success their will be four progress reports mailed home during the school year. In addition the Parent Portal is also available for you to view more detailed information regarding your students’ educational progress, especially attendance. If your student is not in school they will not be able to complete classes in a timely manner to help them get caught up academically. Please stop by the Library to get your Parent Portal account set-up.  I also want to encourage all parents to join us on parent visitation days this fall and spring.

You are also encouraged to read for future reference the Chaparral Handbook, which outlines expectations for student behavior and explains all school policies and procedures. You will be required to sign and return the blue half sheet of paper along with your student’s signature at registration.

On behalf of all Chaparral staff members, I wish you a happy and successful school year.

Sincerely,

Randy Reid

Principal
