The 2017-2018 school year was a success by any measure. I want to thank the community members for all their support including members of the PA and CEF; I want to thank all CCHS staff who work hard every day to make CCHS a welcoming and nurturing learning environment, and most importantly I want to thank all the students for making this profession demanding but extremely rewarding.
It is an honor to work in a profession with a mission to help young men and women prepare for a life filled with meaning and purpose. Empathic, compassionate, supportive, engaged, curious, and passion are virtues we hope to instill in students while striving for them ourselves. Wishing everyone a safe, restful, and relaxing summer filled with friends, family, laughs, perhaps a few tears, and lots of smiles.
An excerpt from Edward Whymper's book titled Scrambles Amongst the Alps in the Years 1860-69 seems like a fitting tribute to a fantastic school year and provides words of wisdom for the summer and beyond. "There have been joys too great to describe in words, and there have been griefs upon which I have not dared to dwell, and with these in my mind I say climb if you will, but remember that courage and strength are nought without prudence, and that a momentary negligence may destroy the happiness of a lifetime. Do nothing in haste; look well to each step......" Enjoy the summer.
Work Permits During the Summer
Work permit hours are 8:00am-2:00pm. NOTE: Due to reduced staff and more flexible hours over the summer, it is required to call or email to schedule processing your work permit to ensure that office personnel will be available. If no one is available, keep in mind that work permits can be obtained at any high school, students will just need ID that includes date of birth. Calling the school beforehand to explore other requirements is advised.
Follow these steps: 1. Obtain a job offer from an employer. Have them complete (and sign) the Promise of Employment form (parent/guardian must sign this form). 2. Fill out the Employment Permit Application which is available by clicking here or the CCHS Main Office. 3. Students between the ages of 14-15 need to get a physician’s signature. Students MUST be present to sign the work permit document. No exceptions under Massachusetts State law. Students can bring the application to the Main Office at CCHS where the official Work Permit is processed. No additional documentation is required for CCHS Students. If the student is not attending CCHS and ID that includes date of birth is mandatory.
