Open House

Our Open House is happening tomorrow evening, Tuesday, October 12th, from 6:30pm to about 8:45pm. I believe this will be a great opportunity to showcase the excellent programs we have at Churchill High School. We will follow the same schedule and set up as last year. I encourage people to distribute copies of course descriptions and to have student work on display in the classroom. Some of these little things give parents clear messages about the kind of program that we have.

Teacher/Classroom information:

In order to keep presentations consistent all teachers will prepare the following information to be available in their classrooms at Open House.

1. Written teacher contact information including :

Name
Email address
Office phone number

2. Written course expectations and/or syllabus

3. Ways for students to get help with class work
