Daily Announcements

If your student missed hearing the daily announcements that are read over the intercom at Cav period, they may be accessed on the Announcements section (left column) of the CHS webpage.

UCPS Student Startup Page When students work on school courses from home they should start from their UCPS Startup Page in order to access the sites correctly: https://sites.google.com/a/ucps.k12.nc.us/ucps-secondary-startup-page/high-school This site includes links to UCPS subscription databases. Passwords for home use can be picked up in the Media Center.

Student Printing There are many times during the year when students need to print. They are not able to print from their Chromebooks. Printing is available from the computers in the Media Center for 5 cents a page. Media Center staff enters a printing code on each document the students wishes to print. For convenience and to save time, students are encouraged to purchase their own printing code. They may be purchased in the Media Center in increments of $5.00. ($5 = 100 pages, $10 = 200 pages.) This allows them to print independently in the MC whenever they choose throughout the year. Please note that we do not offer color printing. Students may bring their money and fill out the form in the MC to get their code from Mrs. Tautfest.
