CHS Family Bulletin, November 10, 2022
Hello, Churchill families and students;
I hope you have a restful three-day weekend and take the opportunity to shake the hand of a Veteran or tell one, “thank you for your service.” To those Veterans reading this weekly bulletin or working in our schools, thank you so much for all that you have done and continue to do.
Trimester 1 is quickly winding down. In just a few weeks we will be moving on to Trimester 2 and winter break. How the time is flying by. Parents, guardians, and families – I would encourage you to discuss with your student(s) how they are doing in all of their classes, and what their StudentVue and Canvas classes look like. Student – are all of your assignments in? Have you been talking to your teachers about what key assignments are projects need to be turned in? If you have not done this yet, I would suggest you do that this week. Teachers have office hours before and or after school and are always ready to help. Check in with your teachers before school during lunch and class and after school. Email them and ask questions. There’s still time! You can do it!
Stay warm, thank a Veteran, get your work done, and enjoy some downtime as well. Happy long weekend, and as always, please let us know if you have any questions.
Go, Lancers!
Missy Cole, Principal
Churchill High School

School and Student Information
Information from your School Counselors:
Attention Students – Trimester 2 is just around the corner
Please check your Tri 2 schedule. If your schedule has errors, please use the Schedule Change Form to request a change. The form is now open on the Churchill website, and the QR code is posted by the counseling offices and in the halls. The Master Schedule of classes is posted near the counseling offices if you need to find when a course is offered.
Enter the requested change only once, then keep checking your Student/Vue and 4j email to see if the change has been made or if your counselor has a question. Again, a change may be requested only for an error, such as a missing or incorrect course, or classes needed for graduation. Changes will not be made simply for a student to be with friends or to change teachers in the same subject area.
- The Schedule Change Form link is at: chs.4j.lane.edu/scheduling.
Seniors Graduation Credits
Important! Seniors– be certain to check your Tri 2 and Tri 3 schedules to make certain you have the courses and credits you need for graduation. Be sure you have completed and submitted your LEAP contract, and you have a plan for meeting Career Related Experiences (CRLs). All LEAP contracts are due November 30.
If you are planning to attend college or trade school, make sure you are taking the courses required for admission.
If you need a schedule change, please put the request in the Schedule Change Request Form as soon as possible. The form is now open on the Churchill website, and the QR code is posted by the counseling offices and in the halls. The Master Schedule of classes is posted near the counseling offices if you need to find when a course is offered.
Student-Athletes
All students who are participating in school sports are required by OSAA to be enrolled and passing 2.0 credits (4 classes) for both the trimester before their sport AND the trimester during their sport. If you are not scheduled for 2.0 credits (4 classes) during both of those trimesters, use the Schedule Change form to add enough classes for you to meet this participation requirement.
Winter Sports Practices starting soon!
Winter sports start on Monday, November 14th. Students will need to have their physical paperwork in before they can start practicing with teams. Find out more information here at our Athletics webpage link on our Churchill High School website.
The College and Career Center needs volunteers like you!

Are crafts your thing? We need you too. Are you good at coordinating programs and reaching out to community members? We need a community service coordinator. Does writing make you smile? We need someone to write posts for social media, announcements, emails, etc. Need a flexible schedule? Some tasks can be done entirely remotely. But, if you want to immerse yourself in our active campus, you are welcome. Would you rather help us on an as-need basis? Yep, we always need extra hands.
