A reminder for Panther fans coming to CCHS athletic events this week! 🐾
To keep our games safe and fun for everyone, Carroll County High School has a few updated rules for athletic events:
👉 Students below 9th grade must come with a parent, guardian, or another trusted adult. If you don't have one with you, you won't be admitted and will need to call home for pickup.
👉 All CCHS students need to show their school ID at the gate. If you show your ID, you get free admission to all home games! 🎉 This is a great way to support your friends and classmates while keeping your ID handy. All CC students wearing school colors or Panther gear get free admission.
👉 Visitors from other schools will also be expected to show a school ID or driver's license if there's any question about grade level. Out-of-district students will still need to pay regular admission.
Thanks for helping us keep Panther Nation strong, safe, and supportive! 🏈⚽🏐

Grandparents enjoyed 🥣biscuits and gravy with their 👦🏻grandchildren 👧🏻at Cartmell Elementary this morning.

Panther community🐾, please help us spotlight our alumni who are currently serving in the military!🪖🎖️

Panther families, we are aware of power outages at some of our school buildings following tonight's storm. We do not anticipate any impact on school tomorrow. We will notify you as soon as possible if there are any changes.

TOY POLICY REMINDER:
Parents and guardians,
Please remind students that TOYS are NOT permitted at school. We work hard to keep classroom distractions to a minimum, and even toys in backpacks and cubbies can take our attention away from learning.

Yes, even these “cute” little Labubus are a violation of our NO TOY policy! Please do not allow your student to bring them to school.

Please refer to the student handbook or contact the office with questions.

Cartmell Elementary students listened to the book, "The Truth About My Unbelievable Summer", with Mrs. Hamilton. The fourth graders then worked together as a group to create one way the main character could travel during his summer adventures. Mrs. Hamilton praised their efforts to achieve full inclusion.
