COVID Testing Update
Due to the significant decrease in the number of Positive COVID cases, we will no longer be requiring athletes to participate in COVID testing prior to athletic events. This is also the case for our performing arts events. Please know that there may be specific field trips or internships that require COVID testing, so this will take place as needed for these trips and internships.
As a courtesy, we will be offering weekly COVID testing for any student. This will take place during the school day. If you would like your student to be tested weekly, please complete this form HERE by Monday, April 4th. Completing this form indicates that you would like your child to participate in weekly COVID testing. You will be called if your child's test result is positive. All test results, positive or negative, will be entered into the RIDOH testing portal.
Spring Credit Recovery
Starting Monday, April 4th, students will have the opportunity to recover credit for required courses after school in the CHS Library from 2:30-4:30. The Spring Session of credit recovery will run from April 4th until June 6th. Additional information, including the registration form, is available on the Credit Recovery Webpage.

Currently, our SIT meets monthly in the CHS library from 2:30-3:30. We work as a collective team to set annual goals and develop action steps towards meeting these goals. This is a great way to become involved in our school. If you are interested in being a part of SIT, please fill out this SIT Application form. Applications are due by the end of today, March 31st. Please know that applicant names are shared with the public for selection by their peers and reviewed by our School Improvement Team Selection Committee for final appointment to SIT.
From the Student Assistance Counselor
The Rhode Island Regional Coalitions have put together a program called "Hidden in Plain Sight" that allows parents a unique interactive opportunity to look into a teen’s mock bedroom. The room is full of common household items that could be used to hide or disguise drug, alcohol, tobacco use or other “risky” behaviors. They have created a virtual version that you can do at home.
Please take the time to talk to your teen about the items you see – use this as a way to launch a conversation about substance use among peers.
Parents are the number one tool against substance use!
You can access the virtual bedroom at this link: https://x78.b45.myftpupload.com/hidden-in-plain-sight/
