Cougars host camp Friday
Chapa Middle School’s sixth annual Cougar Camp for incoming sixth-graders is set for this Friday morning, August 5. It’s a fun annual effort to help the incoming class learn the “ins and outs” of middle school life, giving them information about the structure of the day, campus layout, school pride, and available activities. It’s free, and snacks are provided. Additional information and a registration form can be found at http://hayscisd.net/Chapa.cfm. For more information, email Leah Cochran at [email protected] or call 557-5380.
Online registration available
Online registration is still available – and highly recommended – for all Hays CISD returning students for the coming school year. The system is designed to help parents by cutting down on long waits in line to fill out paper forms. The district indicates the process “will not eliminate all paperwork, (but) it will definitely quicken the registration process.”
All pre-registered parents receive a “FASTPASS” to quickly move through the paperwork tables at their designated campuses on back-to-school day or night. For parents needing computer access, school computer labs will be available to the public “late” this Thursday (10 a.m.-7 p.m.), August 4, and “early” Friday (7 a.m.-4 p.m.), August 5. To begin online registration, visit the district’s website homepage at www.hayscisd.net/ and click on the red box titled “Student Registration.” The district has established an email help address at [email protected].
New-to-the-district students must register in person at the appropriate campus. The necessary enrollment forms may be downloaded – and details of required information are available – at www.hayscisd.net/StudentRegistration.
