A Prayer - Immaculate Heart of Mary
Immaculate Heart of Mary, full of love for God and mankind, and of compassion for sinners, I consecrate myself to you. I entrust to you the salvation of my soul. May my heart be ever united with yours, so that I may hate sin, love God and my neighbor, and reach eternal life with those whom I love. Amen.

Shelfit-EdTech Bookstore is Now Open!
Dear Students and Parents,
The Shelfit-EdTech Bookstore is now open.
-
Students, log in to Canvas and select any current course. (The Shelfit-EdTech bookstore is only available on Student accounts, not on Parent Observer accounts.)
-
On the left-hand course navigation, click the Shelfit-EdTech link.
-
Next, select the Store link.
-
Items found in your course access bundle, CAB, are items you are required to purchase for class. These items include digital book platforms, workbooks, and some paper copy textbooks.
- In some cases, your teacher may have already distributed materials to you in your class, knowing you would be purchasing the materials through the Shelfit-EdTech Store as soon as the store became available.
Additional items are available to purchase outside of CAB. These items are typically novels for your English classes, printed copy of a textbook, and approved calculator. These items are outside of the required to purchase CAB because they are items frequently obtained via other methods such as being passed down via siblings or friends.
It is important to note that your Shelfit-EdTech Store CAB is generated via your schedule. The syncing process happens overnight. If you add a course, an additional course material may populate your Shelfit-EdTech CAB. In this case, you would need to go to your Shelfit-EdTech Store and make the additional CAB purchase. Also important to note, drop-add ends on August 25, 2025. If you plan to drop a course, please wait until the course is dropped and the Shelfit-EdTech Store CAB syncs with your updated schedule before making your purchase.
Please plan to have CAB purchases completed by Labor Day. Please contact EdTech via the green help button in the lower right corner of your screen for assistance within the Shelfit-EdTech Store.

Important Information for Students Taking the SAT on Saturday, August 23, 2025
- Check your computer and confirm that the "BlueBook" application is installed on your CCHS MacBook. If it is not, see Mr. Hicks in the library before the end of the day on Friday.
- On Saturday morning, arrive for the SAT by 7:45 AM to allow yourself time to check into the testing center. Doors will open at 7:30 AM and the test starts promptly at 8:00 AM. This is a large administration. Arriving early allows us to begin on time. Students who arrive late will not be allowed to test.
- Bring your printed SAT entry ticket and photo ID and your fully-charged computer. Acceptable forms of photo ID are current year Student ID, valid Driver's License, or a Passport. You may print your ticket once you log into the BlueBook application on your computer and go through the preliminary terms for the test on Saturday. Failure to bring any one of these items will result in dismissal from the test center. There are no loaner computers available for those who forget their computer.
- Make sure to charge your computer the night before the SAT. Opportunities to charge your computer while testing will be limited, and may hinder the completion of your test. Having a full charge when you arrive will alleviate this issue.
- One final note - if you are taking your SAT test here at CCHS, you will use your Charlotte Catholic issued computer. If, however, you are testing at a site OTHER THAN Catholic, you will need to use a personal device. CMS Schools have already stated that devices with protection and monitoring software such as ours will not work on any of their networks.
