Benchmarks - In an effort to support student success and timely completion of students’ graduation portfolios, students must meet the Graduation Portfolio Benchmarks.  Failure to complete the CHS Benchmarks will result in exclusion from class activities.  Class activities include: proms, parking pass, senior picnic, etc. Class benchmarks are:

• To be a sophomore, students must have entered eight (8) portfolio items, three (3) of which must be from Expectations #1 and #2.
• To be a junior, students must have entered sixteen (16) portfolio items, six (6) of which must be from Expectations #1 and #2.
• To be a senior, students must have entered twenty-four (24) portfolio items, nine (9) of which must be from Expectations #1 and #2.

Scanners – The library scanners can be accessed at any time during the school day. However, if there is a line, please see Mrs. Hackett in SS10 or Mr. Kelly in SS12 for a scanner (usually no wait).  Please check with your advisor for further options if necessary.

After School – Assistance is offered after school for students to complete assignments that are needed for the portfolio.  This work can be revised or students may receive a new assignment from the teacher.  Students can check in with each teacher after school to see what can be done and what materials are needed.
