June 2022

  The Bulldog Way - Our Foundations for Success 

May was all about Growth Mindset! In June we will focus on Making Work Play! This is a mindset for closing out and starting the new year! Attitude is everything! A challenge can easily become an opportunity if we bring joy, fun and a shared sense of purpose to the challenge.  We encourage all Bulldogs to reflect, celebrate the positives of the year, and set goals for next year for engagement in learning and extracurricular opportunities CHS provides.  Practice these Habits of Mind daily, and doors will open for you!  It's The Bulldog Way!

Congratulations to The Class of 2022!

We are so proud of these Bulldogs! So many achievements during their time in Cashmere Schools.  The tradition of sharing their "Next Big Move" as part of the diploma ceremony is so important to our messaging.  It's not too early for the Class of 2026 to start thinking about who they want to be and what it will take to get there!  Well done, Seniors!

Credit Recovery Opportunities this summer

Extended School Year Credit Recovery at CHS:

All students who failed a course in the ‘21-’22 school year or in need of credit recovery to get on track to graduate will be invited to participate in ESY.   This will run 6/13-6/30 between 8:00-11:00 in the morning in the library.  Students can exit once all credits are recovered via Plato.  

Students failing to recover their credit lost will automatically be enrolled in study strategies unless they need the room in their schedule to meet graduation requirements.

Students will have an additional structured time to recover credits during ramp up  8/15-8/23.

Credit Recovery Ramp Up

All students who failed a course in the ‘21-’22 school year or in need of credit recovery to get on track to graduate will be invited to participate in Credit Recovery Ramp up.   This will run 8/8-8/23 between 8:00-11:00 in the morning in the CHS Library..  Students can exit once all credits are recovered via Plato.  Depending on enrollment, this could demand one or two certified teachers.

Students failing to recover their credit lost will automatically be enrolled in study strategies unless they need the room in their schedule to meet graduation requirements.

Thanks in advance for your support in getting your student back on track to graduate!

Peer Mentors & Incoming Freshmen Connect!

The last week of school provided 42 CHS Peer Mentors the opportunity to connect with their pod of 4 or 5 freshmen they have adopted in support of a smooth transition to high school.  Mentors discussed CHS expectations, addressed questions raised by Class of 2026 members,  highlighted the many opportunities to connect to school through extracurriculars,  and gave them a tour of the building.  This first introduction sets the table for our Aug. 30th New Student Orientation.  This event, which runs from 10am to 1pm, included Building Tours and Schedule rehearsal, Chromebook Checkout, Goal Setting in Advisory, an Extracurricular Fair, and a BBQ will kick off our year for incoming freshmen and new students.
