2019 Cambridge High School PTSA Scholarship
Deadline is March 1, 2019
PTSA Logo
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.  



Seniors
Mid-year reports
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

PAWS Change Request Form
Now open
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.

Student ID Policy
School Safety and Security Plan
CTCT-20181103_171712
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.
