The Governor has closed all state offices for Tuesday, Jan. 29, based on a winter storm watch. Given the risk associated with ice, the timing of a potential event, and the impact it may have on traffic, the district erred on the side of safety in closing Fulton County Schools and all administrative offices Tuesday, January 29, 2019. 

 

JanFest is an honor band festival hosted by the University of Georgia in Athens, GA, from Thursday, January 17-Sunday, January 20, 2019.  Students prepare a brief audition for Thursday afternoon and are placed into bands accordingly for the weekend.   Bands are run by guest conductors from across the nation; they rehearse all day Friday and Saturday, and perform a concert on Sunday afternoon!  It is incredible to see what these students do in just three days.  Students also have the opportunity to listen to concerts by outstanding guest High School bands and prestigious UGA ensembles. There are over 1,000 students who come together for this incredible weekend full of music! Cambridge had the following students participate this year:

Carl Bilimoria, clarinet	Ty Cundy, percussion
Carter Harrell, trumpet	Connor Kelly, saxophone
Hyrum Mitchell, flute	Maddy O'Carroll, clarinet
RJ Schaber, euphoniuim	Yash Singh, oboe
Jake Tyler, saxophone	Riley Welch, trumpet
	Ethan White, trombone

National School Counseling Week 2019 (#NSCW19) is February 4 through 8, 2019.  The week, sponsored by the American School Counselor Association (ASCA), highlights the unique contribution of school counselors within U.S. school systems and the tremendous impact they can have in helping students achieve school success and plan for a career.

This evening we will host our Dual Enrollment Night in the auditorium at 6:30 pm. In addition, due to possible inclement weather and the timing of region play and competing region team schedules, our basketball games scheduled for Tuesday evening have been rescheduled to this evening, starting at 6:00 pm. This evening is also Senior Night for our basketball team.

Due to parking, please plan to arrive early for all events this evening. We ask that you do not park on the grass areas. Overflow parking can be found in our senior parking lot and bus lanes at the rear of the school.

Students interested in taking AP courses, honors level world language, visual arts, performing arts, and/or Career and Technical Education (CTE) courses are invited to attend this informational event. Parents are welcome as well. A brief opening informational video will be broadcast in classrooms, followed by break-out sessions. Students and parents will have an opportunity to attend as many as four different sessions to hear teachers discuss their programs/courses.

To plan your evening, please review the  Special Programs Night agenda .

Starting this fall students can enroll in public safety pathway courses at Cambridge. If a student completes their coursework and pass the certification tests, they will graduate as certified firefighters and emergency medical responders - a certification recognized nationwide! This opportunity is open to all current freshmen and any sophomores who will have completed Introduction to Law, Public Safety, Corrections and Security course before their sophomore year ends. Learn more by attending Special Programs night on January 31, or contacting Dr. Washburn: washburnt@fultonschools.org.

Class of 2019 Scholarship:

The Cambridge High School PTSA is pleased to announce its annual College Scholarship program for the Class of 2019. This year the PTSA will offer five senior scholarships for $500 each.   The scholarships are designed to recognize outstanding CHS seniors who have demonstrated exceptional character through academics and school/community involvement. 

The deadline for the scholarship will be March 1st.   The scholarship requirements and forms can be found on the counseling website www.cambridgehscounseling.com under the Scholarship tab.  

Counselors are now processing mid-year reports for colleges/universities that require them of their applicants.  If you need a mid-year report for a college listed on your Common Application or on the Coalition Application, please email your counselor and specify the school that needs the report.  For all other colleges/universities, please make your request for an updated transcript through Parchment.com. 

Taking the Advanced Placement exams is an important part of all AP courses. Cambridge High School desires that all students take AP exams for the AP classes that they have taken. Scoring well on an AP exam can often earn students college credit for their high school class, saving a significant amount on tuition.

For the 2019 AP exams, students at Cambridge High School will register online. This registration will take a few minutes and can be completed from any device with internet access.

The AP exam is free for students currently enrolled in AP courses. Cambridge High School desires that every student be able to take their AP exams. Any current student not enrolled in an AP course, but wishes to sit for an AP exam in a course, will incur a fee of $94 per exam. 

Online exam registration is now open and will close on Thursday, February 29, 2019, at 11:59 pm. 

For more information and to register, visit www.cambridgehs.org, "Student" and "Student Testing."  

Students,
You have the flexibility to change your PAWS throughout the semester. Once you have completed your request form, please continue to follow your current schedule until you receive a new schedule indicating your change has been completed. Please note that some classes do fill up and most are only offered on a specific day. Your alternate selection will be assigned if your request is not available, or you will be put on a wait list until a seat opens up in that class. Note, all academic requests are given priority for changes. All other requests are filled on a first come first served basis. Making multiple or duplicate requests slows the process.

Parents,

Students are asked to complete the PAWS request form to advocate for their interest or where they need support. Should a student require support in a specific subject area, the student's teacher, grade-level administrator, or counselor will make a request to have a student's PAWS schedule changed to support that need. 

The PAWS change form can be found at www.cambridgehs.org.

As part of our safety and security plan, we are implementing a policy such that all students must wear an ID at all times. IDs should be worn around the neck and visible. By requiring all staff, students, and visitors have some identification on them at all times; we can better ensure that the people in our building, should be in our building. We ask that all parents and guardians help us in this safety measure by ensuring that your student has his/her ID on them each day.

If your student has not received his/her ID, please have them see Ms. Leathers in the Front Office.  Please note that if a student loses his/her ID, it will cost $5 to replace the ID and if a student loses their ID and lanyard, it will cost $10 to replace all items.
