Grade Checks Grade Checks occur every three weeks. Students will ask all their teachers, including PE, to complete the grade check. The students receive the form on Monday and must turn it in on Friday. This provides them ample opportunity to get grades for all their classes.

Service Hours Colleges would like to see well-rounded students. Community service is a way to exhibit this. CHS AVID requires students to complete 20 hours of community service every year.
