Good evening, CHHS families. This message is to let you know that all students were given their first progress report for the T1 grading period today out of their 5th block class. Please review those with your student and reach out to teachers with any questions. This is also a reminder that we have morning and afternoon tutoring available through our ESS program on Tuesday-Thursday every week. Thank you and have a great evening.

Good evening. This message is to remind families that students who wish to join a club have until Monday, September 8 to do so. All information regarding available clubs, dues, and payment options is available to students on the CHHS Student Homepage at bit.ly/chbruins. Our first club day will be Friday, Sept. 19, and we hope to see students involved and making a positive impact as part of being their Bruin Best!

REMINDER - There is NO SCHOOL on Monday, September 1, 2025!

Bruin families, I wanted to make you aware of two opportunities we are currently offering to all students for academic help. First, our ESS services for morning and afternoon begin next week. Applications are in the main office, and you can contact your guidance counselor for more information.  Second, our library media center offers a Writing Lab service for students. This is additional help beyond the classroom for students with written assignments. Please see our school Facebook page, our Live Feed flyer info through Thrillshare, or in the attachments on this email for more information on both opportunities. 

Reminder to all Bruin families that we are in a competition with Etown High to see who can collect the most canned goods and non-perishable items. The deadline to donate is this Thursday, and the winner will be announced at Friday night's football game!

Please see the attached flyers for important senior events happening soon!

ATTENTION HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS and PARENTS!! We encourage you to place this event on your calendars! This is a WONDERFUL opportunity to learn about more than THIRTY colleges and universities, the armed forces, financial aid, and MUCH MORE!!

Teen Court is an amazing experience for our students! We are grateful for those who work so hard to organize it and create these tremendous opportunities. Interested students and their families are invited to attend an open house on August 28, 2025 at 6:30 pm at the Hardin County Justice Center.

We just wanted to share some Back to School 2025-26 sights and sounds with you! It is going to be a great school year! https://youtu.be/6sG0LRIP9L4 #HCSDifferenceMaker

Here is some important information that you need to know before the first day of school on August 7, 2025. Find it here: https://bit.ly/hcsbacktoschool2526

All students will have access to free breakfast and free lunch again this school year. However, each family is still required to complete a Household Income Form to maintain accurate data as a requirement for state and federal funding. You can find the form at this link: https://www.myschoolapps.com/Application

Free lunches are provided through a program called the Community Elgibility Provision (CEP). The continuation of CEP is dependendent on the number of school meals served. We encourage all students to participate in school lunch and school breakfast as much as possible!

The HCS Back to School Fests are next week!!! We can't wait to see our students and families. If you can't attend the Back to School Fest for your school, you are welcome to attend any of the three!

We will have fun, food and lots of information from our community partners. Please note that these events are not school open houses. Those dates are posted here: https://www.hardin.kyschools.us/parents/2025-school-open-house-dates-times
