Dear Friends of the PFC:
As another busy month comes to a close we wanted to share with you that CHS has been busy with site improvements. If you don't follow us on Facebook yet, please do! It's one of the best ways to get current information. For those of you that are not following the CHS PFC on Facebook, we wanted to share a recent post with you:
"Lots of great upgrades coming to CHS thanks to LVUSD and the PFC. Here's just one example.... for those familiar with the foyer and snack shack outside the gym, renovations are already underway with removal of old structures, a major cleaning, new lights installed and new paint. The floors, baseboards and snack shack counters will all be replaced. The PFC is looking into getting a new refrigerator to replace the old one that doesn't work properly and is not energy efficient. We want to be a Greener school in all areas possible."
Just a reminder when you are reading the following submissions from different departments, please contact the person that submitted the information. We do not have any additional information to share with you. We are just a liaison sharing the information with you that we received.
The fall sports season is coming to a close and we are looking for "parent and student reporters" to share what's happening with the winter sports. Please contact us if you would be interested in submitting updates for the weekly eNewsletter.
Please join us for our next PFC meeting on Monday, November 3rd at 9:30am. We are planning to meet in the Lecture Hall, but please check the front window of the Main Office to see if we have been relocated. Be sure to sign in and out whenever you are on campus.
Wishing a happy and safe Halloween to all that celebrate.
Many thanks,
Laura Ainsworth

Peer Support was also recently mentioned in The Acorn in acknowledgement of all of our hard work and dedication regarding anti-bullying and our upcoming assembly. Please check out the article at http://www.theacorn.com/news/2014-10-16/Community/Bully_beatdown_begins.html.As a reminder, students can always find Peer Support Counselors at FRIENDS in room H117, which is open every day at lunch.

HEALTH OFFICE INFORMATION

Notes From the Health Clerk:
It is recommended that students follow the below recommended practices by the California Department of Public Health for preventing the transmission of Enterovirus and other illnesses:
- Students with flu-like symptoms should stay at home. Flu-like symptoms may include:
- Fever (100 degrees F. or higher) or feverishness
- Cough
- Sore throat
- Runny or stuffy nose
- Body aches
- A feeling of being very tired
- Vomiting or diarrhea
Generally, health officials recommend that individuals who have flu-like symptoms should remain at home and avoid contact with others. They should do so until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever without the use of fever-reducing medicines such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen.
