Welcome to Chaparral! Chap C. A. R. E. S. - Do you? This acronym is part of our school's philosophy and mission statement at Chaparral High School. It is a way for students and staff to remember what is important for the success of our students in school and in life. C - Community - We must work together to create a positive learning environment. A - Acceptance - We must acknowledge people for who they are in our community. R - Respect - We must honor all members of our community and treat each other with kindness and compassion. E - Effort - We must work hard each day on our academic and interpersonal skills. S - Strength - We must be positive and consistent with our attendance, behavior, and attitudes towards school and each other. =========================================================================================================================  A few announcements and reminders A. The 9 week grades of the SECOND TRIMESTER are in the Infinite Campus system. Please check your student's progress in their classes using Infinite Campus, the Student Information System. This system has a parent access portal where you can check on grades, attendance and other school related information. Here is the LINK for you. Please use a computer to log in the first time where you will be required to set a password. You will also have the ability to get this information on any mobile device as well. There is an app for Apple and Google devices. Once you have your username and password, you may then download and use the Infinite Campus app. If you have any trouble, please call the GUHSD Tech Helpline at 619-956-4357. B. Students - You may reset your INFINITE CAMPUS PASSWORD by using the STUDENT drop-down menu at the top of this page, and clicking on the CAMPUS PASSWORD RESET link there. C. Please check the menu above (STUDENTS/STUDENT LIFE) for slideshows from our Thanksgiving Feast and our most recent GRADUATES! D. Congratulations to the following students who have PERFECT ATTENDANCE for the month of January. You help put the "S" in STRENGTH! E. The calendar has been updated to reflect the ASSETS AFTER-SCHOOL PROGRAM at Chaparral. Each time you stay after school for one of the Edgenuity (Online Class), tutorials in Math or English, or the Construction or "Floral Fun" programs, you will receive a BUS TOKEN and a SNACK! You do not have to be a member of that program or in the class of the tutorial teacher to participate. If you have any questions, please talk to the participating teacher, or email Mr. or Mrs. Farley at mfarley@guhsd.net or cfarley@guhsd.net. F. The APEX online class is available after school Mondays-Thursdays from 3-4:30pm in the computer lab in the Learning Resource Center (LRC). Each class you complete will give you 5 more credits towards graduation and most of the work can be done at HOME or OFF-CAMPUS! Please see Mr. Beeman, our on-site substitute teacher, or your guidance counselor for more information. G. This link is for our 2014-2015 BELL SCHEDULE. H. Our Weekly Bulletin for March 2-6, 2015 has been updated in the SCHOOL INFO section at the top of the page. I. Students who are on time to class, regularly attending, and meeting classroom behavior expectations will be released on Fridays at 12:18 PM. We expect that the majority of our students will meet these expectations. However, if a student does not meet these expectations, he/she will be placed in a behavioral intervention program until the regular release time of 2:44 PM on Friday. Parents/guardians will be contacted by the Thursday prior. Unfortunately, transportation is not available on Fridays at 2:44 PM. J. Due to the shift to our 12 week grading model, attendance and academic focus will be important to student success. Students having multiple absences and or missing assignments will be assigned a "Fun Friday" or "Super Saturday" to assist with making up work and catching up on their academic coursework. Parents will be contacted by their child’s teacher if assigned. K. Students may voluntarily attend these make up sessions so they can make-up, continue or reinforce their class work. The dates for these sessions are on the calendar below. L. More calendar events will be added so keep checking back for more information!
All sports, new student orientation meetings, trips and ASB events are on the calendar. Any
questions, suggestions or additions can be sent to Mr. Deerfield at
bdeerfield@guhsd.net. M. As a reminder of our newest rule, earbuds for phones and MP3/4 players are allowed to be used only during lunch. They should not be visible at any other time. N.
