Welcome Letter
I have spent most of my life writing and speaking in metaphors, analogies, and parables. Empowering people to reach beyond the
surface of knowledge is one key to the success of any organization. Furthermore, cultivating a community that thrives and nurtures
students to define themselves (within their story) is what makes us so strong at Chardon.
Since commencement, we have been working hard to prepare for the next school year. My awesome summer team was able to take
some time for themselves and wholeheartedly be present for their families. As my family escaped to South Carolina, gentle tones rang
beneath my feet--the soothing sound of the waves. When you really take the time to think about it--- the beauty of waves are
extraordinary. They are sometimes gentle, sometimes rough, and always returning back into the vast ocean. Whether it is high tide or
low tide, the beauty of the gravitational pull of the moon reminds us of nature's glory of ultimate cause and effect. The softness of the
ocean can become a stress relieving baptism; returning us to our original peacefulness. Boy, did I need that gentle reminder after a year
of waves. We all did.
On our drive back north, I read Salt to the Sea. The story encapsulated my mind with the themes of courage, fear, strength, and
perseverance. This powerful work of historical fiction travels down the darkness of war, and the stories of the human condition.
As a part of the trip, we spent a day in Washington, DC. I believe what dawned on me the most after spending treasured time with my
family, reading this book, and heading to our nation’s capital was touring the monuments. It had been years since I walked the history
of our country. The miles of history, stories, courage, fear, and strength engulfed my mind as I reflected on the present moment.
Humility is the best word to describe the feeling that my family experienced.
We are all a part of something much bigger than ourselves, much bigger than the 88 square miles of our district. The most important
hallmark to reflect upon is the reality that your i nfluence matters, your w
ords matter, and your e
fforts are the key elements that make
us so strong. You are part of a much larger community at Chardon.
As we plan and prepare for the dawn of a brand-new academic year, we have so many things to look forward to at Chardon High School.
We have such strong educators and wonderful students that walk the halls here every single day. We are embarking on year two of a
whole new experience that will catapult a generation of learners to an ever-changing world.
We are excited to welcome to the team: Megan Wessels (Math), Mara Metz (Educational Assistant), Frank Hall (Cafeteria/Study Hall
Monitor), Dawn Tupaz (Guidance Sub), Kathleen Flaherty (Art Sub) to join a refreshed group of refined educators to exciting energy
that we have shaped our culture around this August.
Cultivating is an essential task of any person working the land. In a like manner, we cast many seeds of learning amongst various
Hilltoppers. What becomes essential in the art of educational cultivation is preparing students to see that the harvest may come
various times within their high school days. The benefits of the hard work is what can help change the culture of fixed mindsets
towards more of a growth mindset and goal setting.
My continued vision for this year is to cultivate and continue to build upon the relationships of all students and staff, focusing on
gratitude, building upon our core values and PBIS initiatives, refining our programs, and sharing our message and story to the
community for a successful November ballot.
Furthermore, as a teaching staff, we will focus on refining our Professional Learning Communities as we dig deeper into the essential
questions of: What do we want students to learn and be able to do? How will we know if students have mastered essential learning?
What will we do for students who have not mastered essential learning? What will we do for students who have already mastered the
content? I look forward towards building a foundation of learners within instructional strategies and modeling the principles of our
core values in Chardon.
As we closed out last year, we began discussing and planning out ways to best prepare our 8th grade class with the transition to high
school. Based on the feedback from parents, students, and teachers, 8th grade students will have the opportunity to navigate their
course schedule and the layout of the high school as a class on August 14th in an adjusted schedule. We believe that this approach will
provide our students the comfort of understanding the school, meeting their teacher in an adjusted schedule and closing out the day
with an assembly and luncheon. Additionally, we are providing time for all students (9th-12th grade) to meet with their teachers, go
through their schedule, and receive their Chromebook throughout the day. Specific details are inside of this communication. On August
14th, school buses will run as scheduled. The building will be open for all students. All athletic and extra-curricular practices will
occur after school.
To best prepare for the new year I would like to share with you some important dates/times: Please note that our start and end time has
NOT changed.

Handbook Highlights
See the links below for the full handbook
ABSENCE FROM SCHOOL AND ATTENDANCE - Regular attendance and promptness to class are necessary for the
continuity of learning and the development of good habits. The following are considered legitimate absences from school: personal
illness, illness in the family, quarantine of the home, religious holiday, legal obligation, medical appointment, death of a relative, or
emergency circumstances which, in the judgment of school authorities, constitute sufficient cause for absence. Doctor’s notes may be
requested by school authorities if a student accumulates excessive absences. Parents must call the school when children are absent.
State law requires that the parent be contacted at home or work if the school is not called. An unexcused absence will be treated as a
truancy offense and dealt with accordingly. Please call the high school at 440.285.4057 (press #1) prior to 8:00 a.m. to report absences.
This is available 24 hours a day.
ARRIVAL & DISMISSAL-ARRIVAL - Students are expected to arrive at school on time and be seated in class by 7:20 am. If a
student is tardy to school, s/he is to report to the office with a note explaining the tardiness. Those students with early morning
appointments who arrive late to school must bring verification of the appointment from the doctor. After signing in at the office using
CheckMate Plus, the student will report to class. All tardies will be recorded regardless of reason, with the exception of late bus arrivals
or severe weather that causes a delay in attendance. Parents who drive students to school are responsible for their promptness. Drivers
must make time adjustments to accommodate traffic delays and road conditions. Consequences will be given to the student regardless of
the parent’s involvement in the tardiness (see Rule #9). A reasonable amount of time is allotted for students to travel from one class to
the next. Students should be in their seats when the bell rings. Class tardies will be handled according to each teacher or building policy.
DISMISSAL - There are occasions when a student must leave school early for a medical appointment or some other business which
cannot be scheduled outside the school day. When such an occasion occurs, the student must bring a note from home explaining the
reason for the early dismissal and the time that the student will be picked up. The student should take the early dismissal note to the
office before classes begin. When the student leaves the building, s/he must be signed out by a school official.
*Early dismissals cannot be handled by phone - must be in writing.*
TARDINESS TO SCHOOL - Students who are tardy to school must report to the Main Office. Unexcused reasons for tardiness
or absences include, but are not limited to: getting stuck in the driveway, oversleeping, shopping, missing the bus, hunting, car trouble,
draft registration, babysitting in non emergency situations, running errands. Excessive tardiness will result in progressive discipline
moving from detentions to suspension to a court referral.
Progressive Discipline for Tardiness to school
1st/2nd tardy - Verbal Warning(s)
3rd/4th tardy - After School Detention(s)
5th/6th tardy - Wednesday Morning Detention(s) (7:10 am - 8:50 am) Student Services
7th/plus - Saturday School or In school assignment
Excessive tardies will result in administrative conference and referral to attendance intervention team. If a student is tardy and fails to
report to the Main Office to obtain an entry pass, he/she will be disciplined accordingly.
HALL PASSES - In order to get the most out of the educational process, students are expected to remain in class. Students must
first get approval from their teacher prior to signing out with the digital hall pass system. Students have the right (once approved) to
go to the following locations using the hall pass system: bathroom, Student Services, Principal’s Office, Library- Printing, Social
Worker, School Nurse, Speak to a teacher who is available, or lockers. Students MAY not interrupt classes, go to the cafeteria during
lunch periods, or wander the halls. Students must carry/wear their lanyard with their student ID while in the hallways. Teacher’s may
not let more than 2 students out of the classroom; unless the teacher signed out the class. Students who violate this system may lose
the hall pass privilege and/or be subject to school discipline.
STUDENT FEES - The Building Clerk, where students are to pay fees, is located in the Main Hall across from the Cafeteria.
Students may pay fees between 7:00 AM – 3:00 PM. Many courses have class fees attached to them. Class fees will not be refunded for
dropped classes. See the Building Clerk, for exact amounts. Checks are made payable to Chardon Board of Education unless otherwise
specified. Please be mindful that all fees need to be paid in full prior to graduation.
