Let's have some Family Fun Tonight!
On February 29, 2024, tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. at the school cafeteria the Department of Support Services has scheduled a FREE Seahawk Family Fun Night (Bingo/Games) with lots of prizes for parents, educators, and the community to engage in fun activities. It is important to come together to foster a strong school-home-community relationship. When parents and the community are involved in our children’s education, students thrive both academically and socially. Laying a strong foundation for lifelong learning will help us accomplish our many goals. We look forward to seeing you there!
BEST OF LUCK at the BPA State Leadership Conference 2/28-3/2 in Corpus Christi, Texas.

PROCTORED EXAMS WITH CBC
For CBC courses that require proctored exams, students will need to show a form of identification to schedule and take these types of exams.
If you don't have a form of ID. all CBC students can request, at no charge, a CBC ID.
Keep in mind that the turnaround time is usually a week, since the CBC ID cards are mailed to the students. If students need to schedule and take a proctored exam this week, they should make arrangements with their respective professors to take them at a CBC campus.
This does not impact a majority of CBC students.
Please see Mr. Arredondo with questions or concerns or for instructions on how to obtain a CBC ID.
