August 2025

From Pool Days to School Days!

Welcome back! I’m excited to kick off another year as your newsletter editor—my second year writing and my last as a senior.

As we return from summer break, there’s already a lot happening around campus. Fall sports are back in full swing. Cross Country is hitting the trails, Girls Soccer is ready for a strong season, and Volleyball is gearing up for action. Cheerleading will be on the field supporting our Football team, who’s ready to bring the energy under the lights. And after a standout season last year, Golf is back and looking to go even further.

Here’s to a great start and an even better year. Let’s make it count.

I Hope You Have A Fantastic August!

Attendance

At Chuckey-Doak High School, we believe that consistent attendance is one of the most effective ways parents can support their child’s success in school. Every day in class is an opportunity to learn, grow, and connect, and when students miss too many days—whether excused or unexcused—they miss valuable learning experiences. At Chuckey-Doak High School, we work closely with families to address attendance concerns early. Students with three unexcused absences enter Tier 1 support, five to nine unexcused absences move to Tier 2, and ten or more unexcused absences enter Tier 3. Chronic absenteeism—missing 10% or more of the school year, for any reason—also triggers extra support. To help keep records accurate, please remember that doctor’s notes must be submitted on the day your child returns to school.

Athletics

Fall Sports are here! Our student-athletes have been working hard all summer in the sun, preparing for an exciting year of competition. This fall, we are proud to showcase our football, golf, cross-country, girls’ soccer, and volleyball teams. Our cheerleading squad has also been putting in the work—perfecting their cheers, stunts, and spirit to energize the crowd and support our teams. We would love to see the Black Knight Nation packing the stands at all of our home games, showing great support for our athletes. Students are reminded to display the highest level of sportsmanship and school pride at every event—cheering loudly for our Black Knights, respecting all participants, and representing CDHS with excellence. See you at a game! Go Black Knights!
