Back to School Night
Families will receive additional information about CSH to help support their student(s). Back to School Night in 2023 will be on Monday, August 14th starting at 6:00 PM. Please have a copy of your student's schedule with you. How to print a student schedule.
First Day of School for Freshmen
Freshmen will attend orientation Tuesday, August 15th. Watch the website for more information closer to the day. They will be the only students in the building so they are better able to navigate and learn the building before the remaining students return. Students should bring their schedules and a writing utensil only.
Student Fees
You can begin paying for student fees on Infinite Campus Parent Portal starting July 31st. There is a $60 Activity Pass you may purchase which allows your student to get in free to all regular season sporting events held in a Jeffco facility. If there are family members who live in Jefferson County and are over the age of 55, they can see our Athletic Secretary for a free Activity Pass.

Lockers
Students are assigned a locker and the number and combination can be found on the student's schedule. Some students elect not to use the locker and carry all of their books/supplies with them in their backpacks.
Picture Day(s)
Picture days will allow students to have their yearbook photo taken and receive their ID card. Picture day this year is part of Freshmen Orientation and will be on August 15th.
Summer Reading
All students at CSH are assigned summer reading assignments. Some Social Studies courses, German and all English courses require activities to be done in the summer. Check the links for your specific courses.
School Supplies
Students should bring daily: a charged school-supplied Chromebook, personal earbuds or headphones, and their Jefferson County Public Library Card, along with paper and writing utensils. Besides these, there is no formal school supply list before school starts. All students will learn what they need to bring to class on the first day of school from individual teachers. A main staple to have is a sturdy and large backpack.

Attendance
Attendance is taken every period, every day, including Advisement. Students are expected to be on time and attend regularly. Tardies and unexcused absences can result in lunch detentions. An auto dialer is sent out on a daily basis if your student has unexcused absences. If you are requesting an early dismissal, please call the attendance line at 303-982-3556. This pass will NOT be delivered to your student. Your student must retrieve this pass from the attendance office in order to be dismissed from their class. The student then needs to sign out of the attendance office before leaving the building. Guardians do not need to sign out in the office. When the student returns to school (either late or after an appointment) the student must sign in in the attendance office. In order to excuse an absence, you must call the attendance line at 303-982-3556 within 24 hours. Parent notes will not be accepted. For more information, see our Attendance Policy.
Grading
A student is graded on their content knowledge and work habits all together in one grade. CSH uses the standard A, B, C, D, F grading scale. Each teacher will explain their grading process to the students at the beginning of each semester and in their syllabus. The late-work policy is determined by the teacher.
