CHS to hold family tailgate party
Carrboro High School will hold a family tailgate party on Friday at 6 p.m. before the football game.
Coach Jason Tudryn will introduce the football team and the CHS band and cheerleaders will perform. In addition, the Carrboro High Parent Teacher Student Association will serve Jim’s Famous Barbeque for $7 a plate.
The party will be set up in the grassy area between the school and the football field. Tailgaters should bring a chair for the party and the game. To help with the tailgate, contact Jan Sloan at 967-3923 or lsloan101@aol.com.
Late opening
Chapel Hill-Carrboro schools will open two hours late on September 20.
District schools will operate on a delayed-opening schedule seven Thursdays during the 2007-08 school year. The delayed openings allow teachers time for collaborative planning or professional development.
Buses will run two hours later than the normal schedule. Schools will dismiss at their normally scheduled times.
On delayed-opening days, elementary schools will begin at 9:50 a.m., middle schools will begin at 10:20 a.m. and high schools will begin at 10:45 a.m.
District collecting input for new strategic plan
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools is collecting input for the district’s new strategic plan.
School officials have created an online survey for community members to respond to three questions:
- What is the one area in which the district needs to improve in order to be considered a highly successful, forward-thinking school district?
- What is the greatest external challenge facing the district?
- What is the greatest internal challenge facing the district?
The survey has been emailed to parents and staff members and is available at www.chccs.k12.nc.us.
In addition, the district will hold a meeting to collect public input on September 27, from 7-9 p.m., at the Smith Middle School auditorium.
Community members needed for naming group
Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools needs three community members to serve on the naming committee for the new elementary school, which will open in the fall of 2008.
The Board of Education last week approved the process for naming the school. The naming committee, which will include three citizen-at-large seats, will review public input and make a recommendation to the board in December.
To apply to serve on the committee, complete an application at the Lincoln Center at 750 Merritt Mill Road or online at www.chccs.k12.nc.us by Friday.
