Final Transcripts

If you would like your transcript to be mailed at the end of the year to the college you will be attending you must fill out a “Request for final Transcript” form. These forms are available for pick up at the Career Center or at the Registrar’s desk. Final transcripts will not be mailed to your college until all books are returned to the library and fines/fees paid in full. For those seniors that are clear, transcripts will be mailed out by 6-15-12.

Electronics Waste Recycling Event
The CHS Earth Club would like to invite you to get rid of your old, broken electronics to be recycled! This event will take place on Saturday June 2 from 9am -1pm in the lower parking lot of Calaveras High school. E-Waste contains a variety of toxins which leech into the environment when thrown into landfills and not properly disposed of. Please bring the items to CHS to be recycled. This event offers you an easy way to recycle any electronic device that is not useful or is no longer working. Such items include televisions, computers, monitors, printers, fax machines, radios, record players, tape players, CD players, DVD players, telephones (landlines and cell), answering machines, copiers. Pretty much anything electronic! Items NOT able to be recycled are batteries, smoke detectors, x-ray equipment, fluorescent lights and ballasts. All you need to do is bring your e-waste items to Calaveras High School on June 2 and drop them off, no cost to you. Onsite Electronics Recycling will be gathering the e-waste and hauling it off. Please take advantage of this local, convenient event in San Andreas to help ensure electronics are recycled and not tossed into our landfills.  The members of the Calaveras High Earth Club would like to thank the community members for continuing efforts to recycle not only electronics but also glass, plastic, aluminum and plastic bags.
