Our Capturing Kids’ Hearts word of the month is responsibility. Responsibility means taking ownership of your actions, choices, obligations, and results. It means doing what you are supposed to do even when no one is watching, reminding you, or making you do it. Responsibility is not about being perfect. It is about being dependable, accountable, and willing to make things right when you make a mistake. This month, let's all take responsibility for our attendance at school. Responsibility looks like showing up consistently and arriving where you are supposed to be on time.

Parent Support During Float Preparation:
CFHS parents, we welcome your presence and support during float building! This week is a chance to support your child and our school while spending valuable time together with your child, their friends, and other CFHS families. We look forward to seeing you!

Student Expectations During Float Preparation:
All students attending float building are expected to actively participate in building and decorating the floats. This is a supervised school activity, and all school rules and behavioral expectations remain in effect. Students are expected to follow staff directions, remain in designated areas, and contribute positively to the work being completed.

Students who are loitering, refusing to participate, engaging in disruptive behavior, or creating problems will be required to leave the activity, and their parents or guardians will be contacted to pick them up. Student disciplinary consequences will be enforced when appropriate. Our goal is to provide a safe, productive, and enjoyable experience for everyone involved.
