Dear Parents- Please ask your child about their WIN Time session that started today. This letter provides the details behind this 30 minutes of daily instructional time and we are here to answer any questions that you may have. GO Team CIS!
The Carterville Volleyball program would like to invite you to participate in the 2022 Lions Strong Pink Out!
Pink Out Nights will take place during both of the following athletic events:
Volleyball vs DQ on Thursday, September 29th
Football vs Nashville on Friday, September 30th
This year we will make a contribution to the Jerry Kill Cancer Foundation to help fight a disease that has impacted all of us in some way, shape, or form.
Silkworm has provided an online store https://shopsilkworm.com/chspinkout so that all Pink Out t-shirt purchases can be made online. The store is set up to have shirts delivered to each school for distribution. On the online form, those who purchase can identify their child's school and homeroom/advisory teacher to make delivery as easy as possible. Shirts will be $15 and the online store will close Sunday September 18th and will be delivered early the week of the 26th.
Homecoming 2022 is right around the corner. Check out our Spirit Week days and plan to join in on the fun!
September is Attendance Awareness Month and our PBIS team will be promoting good attendance. To celebrate, we will be rewarding students that have ZERO UNEXCUSED absences during the month with a “Webb Buck” that they can spend at the concession stand during the first quarter reward.
If your student must stay home, please call the school to inform Mrs. Diggs, our attendance secretary, at 985-6411.
