Important Back-to-School Night Details & Free Financial Aid Application Webinars

 Back to School Night - Reminder


As a reminder, tonight (Thurs, 9/17) is Back to School night for CCHS.  The program will begin at 6:00pm for parents/guardians of 9th graders.  The night features an all-school presentation from 6:50 - 7:20 PM.  You can view the all-school presentation at: https://concordps.zoom.us/j/94480280271?pwd=L1NwNmo0UThKeThLR2RSM1M4SjRCdz09


The school’s webinar account has a limit of 1000 simultaneous viewers.  So, if you are unable to gain access via the link above, the Minute Man Network will also be live streaming the all-school presentation at https://www.minuteman.media/2408/Education or you can watch on local channel 99 from 6:50 - 7:20PM.


The full schedule for the evening can be found here.  It is our suggestion that you make a copy of that schedule for each of your children and use this table to identify the zoom links for the appropriate teachers.  Identifying the links ahead of time will create a smoother experience this evening.


To avoid confusion, please ask your student for information regarding their schedule.  If that is not possible, you can log into Aspen.  For the most part, we will be following the Monday schedule shown in the Matrix schedule; however, given that G block does not meet on Monday’s we will need to insert the G block from Tuesday.  This graphic will help you identify which classes you will be attending tonight and the order in which you will do so.


As a reminder, all 9th-grade parents will attend a presentation from their academy teachers from 6:00 - 6:45 PM (links: 1. Willow, 2. Maple, 3. Oak, 4. Elm).  During this time, they will hear from the team’s English, math, science, and social studies teachers along with the guidance counselors and special education teachers associated with each team.  Therefore, 9th-grade parents will not attend their student’s English, math, science, or social studies classes from 7:22 - 8:56 and they will just have some free time during these blocks.


Finally, all parents with students in Rivers and Revolutions will use this link starting at 7:34 PM through the end of the evening.


We look forward to seeing you this evening and highlighting some of the great work at CCHS.


Free Financial Aid Application Webinars 

The Massachusetts Education Financing Authority  (MEFA) will not be doing school-based presentations this year, however, they are offering webinars covering different aspects of the financial aid application process.   Please use the link below to view the list of upcoming events, including Understanding the FAFSA on September 24th and the CSS Profile on September 29th.  


There are also several webinars that provide information and clarity on the entire financial aid application process.  For the Class of 2021 families, the financial aid application process begins on October 1st, so we encourage you to utilize these free resources as much as needed.
