Dear Cuyahoga Falls High School Black Tiger Family,
As we enter the second quarter of the 2024-2025 school year, I want to take a moment to reflect on the positive changes we’ve seen thus far at CFHS. We began the school year with the implementation of a new cell policy that helps limit cell phone use within the classroom. In numerous walkthroughs in the building and discussions with students and staff, there has been a significant increase in student engagement, largely due to the new cell phone policy. This initiative has encouraged students to participate more actively in class discussions and collaborative activities, allowing us to create a more focused and interactive learning environment. We really appreciate your support and partnership in embracing this change!
In addition to fostering engagement, we remain committed to ensuring the safety and security of our students and staff. This school year we have implemented enhanced security measures, including the requirement for all students to wear ID badges during the school day (as well as at athletic events) at all times. This not only helps us quickly identify individuals on campus but also fosters a sense of community and belonging. With the help of Mr. Ben Gessford, our District Security Supervisor, we continue to review and improve our emergency procedures to better protect everyone in our school. Regular drills and training sessions are being conducted to ensure that both students and staff are well-prepared for any situation that may arise.
I look forward to working together to continue to grow an environment that prioritizes both student engagement and school safety. Thank you for your continued support, and I look forward to seeing all the great things our students will accomplish this quarter!
Thank you and GO BLACK TIGERS!
