STUDENT DIRECTORY
Kim Nickerson, Chairperson
CHS PTSA is once again offering a Student/Parent Directory. It is a great resource when organizing events/activities or trying to contact
other parents. The more families that participate, the better resource it will be.
To be included in the directory and receive a finished copy, parents/guardians need to fill out the Directory Form and return it no
later than September 17 th to: Copley High School, 3807 Ridgewood Road, Copley, OH 44321 attn: PTSA Directory
A copy of the Directory Form is included in this issue of Smoke Signals and will be sent home with the fall paperwork from school. It is also
available on the PTSA website. The Directory Form includes a page for purchasing ads in the Directory. It is a great way to promote your
business!
Any questions should be directed to Kim at 330-668-6803.

NEED HELP WITH COLLEGE APPLICATIONS AND
SCHOLARSHIP SEARCHES?
WE CAN HELP.
CHS PTSA has parent volunteers who will work with students on
college preparation.
For seniors, the volunteers can help with the college search and
application process.
For sophomores and juniors, the volunteers can help them timeline
when and which standardized tests to take, discuss potential summer
volunteer and/or employment opportunities relevant to their interests,
and help in identifying colleges based on their majors.
Students and parents with questions can contact:
Barb Varley at jdv1228@roadrunner.com or
Kay Makishi at makishi@verizon.net
