Back-to-School 2023

Back-to-School Days are Monday and Tuesday, August 21 and 22, 9:00 am – 12:00 pm

New

The first 40 students on each day will receive a coupon for a free personal pizza at Papa’s Pizza!

All students who attend will receive a raffle ticket for a Lancer Swag Bag filled with Churchill Gear. One bag will be raffled off each day. The winners will be notified by phone call.

Air quality

We are keeping our eyes on the AQI. If indoor activities are permitted, Back-to-School Days will go ahead as planned. Please make the best decision for your family. If it is unhealthy for you to attend, stay home and make arrangements to visit the front office to complete your Back-to-School tasks when it is safe for you.

 

The school office will be closed during the event. The school campus will close at 12:00 pm on both days for processing.

Payments for school fees will not be accepted at this event. We will be selling CHS sweatshirts and t-shirts for cash or check only. To see prices and styles, visit the Churchill Gear Store.

New 4J Students, please enroll now.

Your Back-to-School Day will be more helpful to you if you complete your enrollment ahead of time. Re-enrollment is not required if you are coming from a 4J school. 

Visit our New Students page for complete information.

All students are expected to attend Back-to-School Days.

Choose your day:

  • Monday, August 21, 9:00 am – noon
  • Tuesday, August 22, 9:00 am – noon

Choose the day that works best for you and plan to be there for 30 minutes to an hour. The student must be present to complete in-person Back-to-School tasks. Parents are welcome.

At Back-to-School Days, students will complete important tasks, update their contact information, take their school photo and receive a student ID card, and reconnect with friends. New students and 9th graders will check out their school-issued computers. Students can also pick up or renew their free LTD bus pass, return library books, learn about school activities and programs, and more.

If the student cannot attend either day, make sure to complete all of your online back-to-school tasks. After Back-to-School Days and before the first day of school, pick up your back-to-school paperwork at the front office between 8:00 am and 3:30 pm. Then, the student must come to Picture Makeup Day on September 19 to get their student ID card.

For assistance, fill out a help request.

Prepare your student computer: RETURNING students

All returning students must upgrade their student computers to the latest version of the operating system before the start of the school year. This upgrade is not optional. Please take some time this week to upgrade your student computer.

Before you start: Follow the new student instructions above. If you haven’t been using your student computer over the summer, the computer battery may have drained, and you will need to charge it and turn it on to allow the clock to update before the operating system upgrade will work.

Follow these instructions carefully: 

This big upgrade may take several hours to complete. Do not attempt to complete this update using a cellular signal or hotspot. Make sure your computer is in a safe place where it can remain plugged in and will not be disturbed during the upgrade.

If you are unable to complete the upgrade at home, please exchange your student computer at Back-to-School Days. 

Check your student email and make sure your 4J accounts are working.

Email chs_info@4j.lane.edu to request a password reset.

All technology support questions should be directed to the Technology Support team. Fill out a help request.

Check your class schedule.

Student class schedules will be ready to view in ParentVUE/StudentVUE after Friday, August 25.

At Back-to-School Days, counselors will only meet with new students or students who did not request classes for this school year.

The Schedule Correction Request Form will be posted on the Scheduling page after student schedules are published. DO NOT EMAIL YOUR COUNSELOR FOR A SCHEDULE CORRECTION.
