Spring Dates!

We hope that everyone had a really nice spring break. Here are some important dates that are fast approaching:

Parent / Teacher Events

Breakfast with Principal and Parents Thursday: April 8. Feel free to stop by Sherry’s room to chat and have a bagel!

This is a low key way to share your thoughts about CPEHS and to find answers to any questions you might have about your child's education, not to mention have a yummy breakfast!

Awards Night: Tuesday April 13. Join us for awards, dinner, and our dance team!

The awards night is always a fun chance to recognize all the hard work students have been up to all year! And, like always, the dance team definitely has some surprises up their sleeves! Also, leave room for a great dinner!

Spring Is Almost Here!

Here are some announcements:

Congratulations to all our honor roll students! We hope that you continue your success for the whole semester! If your grades were not up to snuff, please stop by peer tutoring for some help or talk to any adult in the building for help.

Edline.net is a great way to check your grades, gather work and contact your teachers. It is meant to help you and your families stay on track of your progress. Please talk to any administrator or the guidance department for your access code!

As the weather improves and Central Park starts calling, remember that open lunch is a privilege and not a right. Its your job to return to school on time and ready for your 6th period class!

Parent teacher conferences were a big hit last night! But parents, don't just stop by twice a year! Sherry, our amazing parent coordinator, is always around and there usually is something fun going on in her room- she is located in the basement right past the cafeteria.

CPEHS: a bully free zone!

All freshmen will be attending an assembly this week facilitated by Teen Pact about bullying. No one wants other people to think of them as bullies, but it might be easy to fall into bullying behavior and not even notice it!
Next time you are "joking" around with your friends, think about what you are saying, and remember words can hurt.
If you feel like you are being bullied, or if you notice someone else being picked on, speak up! All the adults in the building can help make things better and will keep all information completely secret.

Freshmen Honor Roll Field Trip

Over 30 high achieving freshmen, all with GPAs of 85% or more, participated in a honor roll field trip to the Sony Center today. We had a chance to create a news broad cast, preform virtual open heart surgery, race robots, play with color bubbles on the ground, make virtual reality characters dance and just have a nice time away from school! Trips for up coming marking periods include bowling, going to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and any other fun ideas students can come up with! So study hard, do your homework and get to class- when the next trip comes around you will earn your slot! To see the current honor roll students, check out the blue stars in front of Ms. Paskal's room, 104B!

For Tom

Michael Franti And Spearhead Never Too Late
Verse 1
Don't fear your best friends, because a best friend would never try to do you wrong. And don't fear your worst friends, because a worst friend is just a best friend that's done you wrong. And don't fear the night time, because the monsters know you're divine. And don't fear the sunshine, because everything is better in the summertime.
Chorus
But it's never too late to start the day over, it's never to late, pick up the phone. You know it's never too late to lay your head down on my shoulders, it's never too late just come on home.
Verse 2
Don't fear the water, because you can swim inside you within your skin. And don't fear your father, because a father's just a boy without a friend. And don't fear to walk slow, don't be a horserace, be a marathon. And don't fear the long road, because on the long road you got a long time to sing a simple song.
Chorus
Verse 3
Don't fear your teachers, because if you listen you can hear music in a school bell. And don't fear your preacher, if you can't find heaven in a prison cell. And don't fear your own self, paying money to justify your worth. And don't fear your family, because you chose them along time before your birth.
Chorus
But it's never too late to start the day over, it's never too late, pick up the phone. You know it's never too late to lay your head down on my shoulders, it's never too late just come on home.
