Congratulations to Church Hill Elementary staff on achieving the Best Staff Attendance Average in the district for October! Your commitment is outstanding. CHES was treated to a decadent Coffee/Tea and Dessert Bar. This appreciation reward was proudly supported by the Utrust Employee Appreciation Program. Well done, CHES!
Church Hill Elementary celebrated our 67th day of school with an underground 6-7 day as well as a Panther Pride Day featuring a caramel apple nacho snack!
Church Hill Elementary would like to congratulate our Employees of the Year. Mrs. Sherry won Support Staff of the Year, and Mrs. Joanie won Teacher of the Year. These amazing women were nominated by their peers for their hard work and dedication. We are so thankful for them both!
Today we're giving a huge shout-out to our very own superintendent, Matt Hixson! He's a true superhero for our schools, leading with dedication and a clear vision for our students' futures. We're so grateful for his incredible leadership! #HCS #SuperheroSuperintendent

What is the difference in truancy and chronically absent?
Chronically absent counts all absences: excused, unexcused, and suspensions and has a high negative impact on school success. Students who miss more than 10% of the school year are considered chronically absent.
Truancy is unexcused absences only. Families who continue to be truant will be required to attend a meeting with school officials and possibly a court appearance.
