Quote of the week

"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
— Dr. Seuss
Growth happens when we stay curious, keep learning, and challenge ourselves to try new things. Every day is an opportunity to learn something new and get a little better than we were yesterday.

Welcome to CHE & CHM Food Pantry!  We have one location now!

We believe every family deserves access to nutritious food. Our school's food pantry is here to support our students and families at CHE and CHM by providing food and essentials in a welcoming, caring, and judgement-free space.

Whether you need a little extra help this week or support throughout the month, we are glad you are here. Please take what you need, and know that you are an important part of our schools community.

For convenience we have one location for both schools. We will also gladly accept any donations.

We are here for you, because we care about you!

ROCKIN Coyote Celebration

We are looking forward to our first ROCKIN’ Coyote Celebration of the year on November 13.  Remember, students must clear all zeros by November 6 to be eligible. In addition students should have no more than 4 tardies, no suspensions, and no outstanding detentions.  Students who are not attending the celebration will receive extra support from their advisory teacher during that time to complete missing assignments.
Please note, we are looking for parent volunteers for our ROCKIN COYOTES CELEBRATIONS.  Our hope is to offer students a variety of activities to participate in during this reward time.  If you have some flexibility in your day and are interested in coming on campus to work with our students, please fill out this form.  If you are unavailable during the school day to come to campus, but still want to support students, we are also in need of donations/prizes for students.    This will be a level 1 volunteer requirement. 

Learning Lab

Need a little help with schoolwork? Stop by Learning Lab before or after school! Get homework help, ask questions, catch up on assignments, study for a test, or just get a head start. Our friendly staff are here to help you feel confident, stay on track, and tackle schoolwork without the stress. Come in, get it done, and start your day—or end it—on a great note!  Make it a great year Coyotes.
