HS Principal

I hope you enjoyed that video. I have been experimenting with this program in Spanish because it helps me to understand how to use accent marks properly. My characters will not articulate the sounds properly if my accent marks are not in the correct places. My Spanish tutor has found this to be a very useful tool in teaching me how to improve my Spanish. As soon as I feel brave enough I will share one of my Spanish videos with you.

We have completed our first week of school, finishing off the week with a new parent welcome breakfast. Dr. Doll presented a brief history of CDS, introduced some key administrators, and gave IT director Michael Parrales an opportunity to introduce Edline.

Parents listen intently to Dr. Doll's presentation

I wanted to address the issue of extra-curriculars that was raised at the meeting. After school activities in the high school are limited to sports. We train all year round in basketball, soccer and volleyball, and we give each sport preference during its designated “season.” For example, we have started the year with basketball, so students interested in this sport have begun training and preparing for the AASCA tournament to be co-hosted by CDS and MBS. MBS will host the finals, and the tournament runs from October 21-25.

The Action Varsity Basketball tournament dates have been set:

Sept. 8:  Girls vs. MBS 3:15 at CDS

Boys vs. MBS 4:15 at CDS

Sept. 24: Girls vs. Humboldt 3:15 at CDS

Boys vs. AIS 3:30 at AIS

Sept. 29  Girls vs. Calasanz 3:15 at Calasanz

Boys vs. Calasanz 4:15 at Calasanz

Sept. 30:  Boys vs. Lincoln 3:15 at Lincoln

Oct. 6:  Girls vs. Lincoln 3:15 at Lincoln

Oct. 9: Girls vs. UWC 3:15 at CDS

Boys vs. UWC 4:15 at CDS

Oct. 15: Girls vs. ICS 3:15 at CDS

Boys vs. ICS 4:15 at CDS

Nov. 2-6 semifinal and final games

Please note that practices for soccer begin next week and volleyball will follow shortly after. Students can get more information from Glenda Pearson in the athletic office.

BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT

Mark your calendar for September 3rd and plan to attend our Open House in the high school, 5:30 – 8:00

EDLINE

We will be sending home the activation codes for Edline soon. I will send out an announcement via this site, as soon as they are available.
