Dear CISD Families,
We have made it to the Friday before Spring Break, which means we are halfway through the Spring Semester! Our students have provided us with so much to be proud of so far this semester, which I hope you were able to see during elementary and middle school open houses this week.
One recent achievement I want to highlight is the Adulting Day held at CHS on Wednesday. About 50 of our community partners joined us on a rainy morning to help our seniors learn important real-life skills. Becoming an adult is more than what you learn in the classroom, it’s also being able to solve life’s problems and learn new skills such as basic car maintenance, nutrition, financial literacy, self-defense, time management and much more. The launch of this new event will become an annual tradition at CHS and more CISD schools as we continue to focus on the "whole child" by helping to ensure our graduates have all of the necessary skills need to have a successful life.
We are also excited to announce, the latest issue of “Our Story” magazine is now out. I hope you enjoy reading the stories of our students, teachers, volunteers, community partners and more. This magazine has provided the district with another method of engaging with our community.
As we spring forward toward Spring Break next week, I hope you will take the time to rest and rejuvenate as you spend some quality time with your family.
Enjoy your Spring Break!
Sincerely,
Dr. Brad Hunt
