Register for Senior School Trivia Night
Join the CHS Parents’ Auxiliary at the Senior School Pop Culture Trivia Night on Wednesday, February 12 from 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm in Manrell Hall! Families are invited to attend with parents, students and siblings (age 13 and up). Refer to the email for more details. Please note that the registration is extended until Wednesday, January 29.
Updating Your Contact Information for Weather-Related Schedule Changes
Depending on conditions, the School may be required to modify the schedule or programming for the day, starting later or ending earlier, or call a snow day and close the campus. Parents and staff are notified of changes via text, email and voice messages using our notification provider, Regroup.
The School needs to have the most current contact information (stored in MySchool), particularly in the event of an emergency or change in schedule or program due to weather. If there has been a change in your address, email address or telephone/cellphone number, you can update your contact information in MySchool. Read more.
Notices - For Information
Emergency Preparedness Resources for Parents
At CHS, emergency drills are part of our annual planning. Students and employees regularly practice what to do in many different emergency situations, both those that involve leaving the buildings and those that include staying safe when locked inside. The effectiveness of our response to any emergency hinges on parents and guardians being knowledgeable of what is happening on campus and their role in the plan. Current emergency procedures are outlined in the Parent & Student Handbook. Also, be sure to watch the video that describes what parents need to know
about the procedure for picking up their child in an emergency.
Year of the Snake Lunar New Year Celebration
Families are invited to celebrate the Year of the Snake with CHS parents, alumnae, and staff on Friday, February 7, at Sun Sui Wah Restaurant in Vancouver.

Save the Date: Community Celebration Event
On Thursday, February 20, the School will host its annual gathering for staff, past staff, parents and alumnae to join and celebrate our community.

Transition to E-Tax Receipt System
We are transitioning to an e-tax receipt system this fiscal year. From now on, tax receipts will be sent to the email address we have on file. Tax receipts for one-time donations made between July and December 2024 will be issued by the end of February 2025. Consolidated receipts (recurring monthly installments) for 2024 will still be mailed to your address. If you have any questions or need to update your email address, please contact Tianpei Chen, Manager, Database & Donor Relations, Advancement.
If you haven’t had a chance to contribute to the 2024/2025 Annual Fund and would like to receive a 2024 tax receipt, please note that all donations made by February 28, 2025, will qualify for a 2024 tax receipt.
