From The CFHS Administrative Team
While the temperatures may not be convincing, spring has arrived at the Forge! We
hope that each of our Forge Families enjoys a happy, safe, and healthy spring break.
The last nine weeks of the year are busier than ever as we enjoy watching our spring
sports teams compete, our fine arts students perform, and we begin to look forward to
Prom and After Prom, awards nights, Senior Banquet and Graduation for the Class of
2013, scheduling for next year, and so much more! There are many things going on at
the Forge and we hope that you will be able to join us for as many events as your schedule allows.
We also know that testing season is upon us as well; testing for Advanced Placement
classes will begin Monday, May 6 and run through Friday, May 17. SOL testing will begin
shortly thereafter on May 21, which is a week earlier than previous years. This time of
year is an often stressful time, and we encourage our students to remain focused on their
classes, be mindful of assignment deadlines and due dates, and to prepare early for
testing. We also hope that our students maintain healthy eating and resting patterns in
order to be at their best during the last weeks of the school year.
We would also like to suggest to our parents that this is an excellent time to have an
Important conversation with your student(s) regarding the importance of making good
choices, especially when in school and when out with friends. It is also a good time to
review the SCPS Dress Code with your child. This is a busy time and a fun time; we hope
that each of our students are careful and will make good decisions!

Colonial Forge High School Prom Contract
In order to promote a healthy, safe, enjoyable evening for all students and guests, the following procedures will
be in place for this dance. All parents, students, and guests must read, understand, and sign this agreement.
Also Colonial Forge encourages families to discuss these rules together prior to the dance.
(Please read, sign, and return to Miss Keenan in room 207 by Wednesday, April 17th.)
Colonial Forge High School rules state that all guests must be under the age of 21 and that middle school students may
not attend. ALL Colonial Forge students and their guests must complete the guest contract and are required to abide by
all school rules and terms of the contract. Anyone exhibiting disruptive behavior will be removed from the dance, parents will be notified, and NO refunds will be given. Prom is held off-campus and for the purpose of this event the
building and parking lot where the event is held is considered school board property and is subject to all Stafford County Public Schools rules and regulations.
The dance will begin at 8:00 PM and end at 12:00 PM. NO STUDENTS or guests will be admitted after 10:00 PM unless prior arrangements have been made with activities director, Mr. Collier. No additional tickets will be available at the
door.
Once students or guests enter the dance, they must remain in the building until ready to leave for the evening. When
leaving, students and guests must leave the Expo Center grounds and may not return. No loitering is allowed in the
parking lot.
Students and guests who do not drive themselves to the dance must be picked up no later than 12:15 - fifteen minutes
after the end of the dance. Students may be denied attendance to future dances if their ride is late.
All Colonial Forge student guests must have a valid picture ID to verify eligibility to attend a dance.
Any person currently serving a suspension or expulsion from Stafford County School District or any other school district
may not attend a dance or any other school function.
Students and guests who dance in an inappropriate, lewd and lascivious dancing manner such as “freaking” will
be asked to leave the dance and will not receive a refund of the admission fee, nor will they be eligible to attend
the next school dance. Rules for inappropriate dancing include, but are not limited to:
1.No crotch-to-crotch or crotch-to-buttocks dancing.
2.Ladies you may not raise your dress above the knees while dancing.
3.No touching or breasts, buttocks or genitals.
4.No hands on the floor.
Parents will be notified if students have been asked to leave the dance. Appropriate dancing is up to the
discretion of the chaperones and will not be debated!
Wrist Bands will be given to every student and guest to wear as they enter the prom. If a student or guest is dancing
inappropriately, he/she will receive ONE warning and the student’s or guest’s wrist band will be cut off. If a student or
guest without a wrist band is dancing inappropriately, he/she will be escorted out of the prom.
For safety reasons dancers need to avoid excessive crowding together in the center of the dance floor.
Students and Guests - Please do not leave valuables unattended.
Students are to remember that the Stafford County Schools Student Code of Conduct applies to all participants at any
after school function, including dances. Failure to comply with the rules may result in the potential loss of after-school
activities and events.


The Spanish Club has been busy lately. The members of the club recently
celebrated Foreign Language week! To celebrate, the members of the club
watched a movie in Spanish. Last month, the club held a tertulia (social
gathering where only Spanish was spoken). The event was a huge success
because native speakers and many students in all levels of Spanish came out to
practice their Spanish. Everyone got into groups and attempted to carry out
normal conversations in Spanish. The Spanish Club is full of energetic and
outgoing people! Come and join us to see what we're all about!
The Spanish Club has had a great start to the new year! If you would still
wish to join dues are only $10. Please see Mrs. Chappelle or Mrs. Sanders

CLINIC
Regular dental check-ups are something we want to encourage all parents to
maintain for your children, a well as for yourselves. Dental problems, especially
if there is discomfort involved, cause students to become unable to concentrate
on their studies and lose class time with visits to the clinic or absenteeism. In
addition, unhealthy teeth can often lead to other health issues. None of us enjoy
those trips to the dentist, but preventive dental care can often stop future
problems.
Stafford County does have a School Dental Program, and eligibility is income
based. Children in Head Start through Grade 12 may receive treatment if they
meet one of the eligibility requirements which includes Medicaid or FAMIS
insurance or a sliding fee scale through the Dental Clinic. If you would like for
your child to be enrolled in this program, they may be contacted at (540) 2882579. The Stafford Clinic has hours from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM. This is a very
beneficial program which helps to maintain your child's dental health.
Another program offered by the state of Virginia is FAMIS, a health insurance
program for children under age 19. This program provides access to quality
health services for those children who do not have health insurance. As with the
Stafford County Dental program, there are certain criteria which must be met.
Brochures and information are located in the school clinic for those who are
interested.
As always, thank you all for all that you do. Together we can be sure to provide
a healthy remainder to the school year.

CLINIC
As we say hello to Spring, for many of you and your children it is a welcome to
allergy season. The clinic is already seeing many students displaying the classic
symptoms: itchy, watering eyes, sneezing, congestion, running noses, and
occasionally a sore throat. A fever is not usually seen in someone displaying allergy
symptoms, and symptoms can last for several weeks. Some people with allergies
have the further complication of asthma.
Both asthma and allergy symptoms can be set off by allergens in the air (pollen,
molds, dust, etc.), hot or cold air, inhaled irritants (smoke, perfumes, strong odors),
exercise, and illness. These conditions are characterized by inflammation, causing
airways to narrow, shortness of breath, and nasal congestion. Because there is
increased mucus production in both situations, asthmatics cough and those with
allergies sniffle and constantly clear their throat.
Allergies and asthma are treated similarly in that the first line of treatment is to
identify the triggers and try to avoid what you can. The next step in treatment is
medication to lessen and/or relieve symptoms: antihistamines, decongestants, or
nasal sprays which may be purchased over the counter or prescribed. Those with
asthma also need to keep their inhalers available and know how to use them
properly. Using the inhaler prior to exercise will keep airways open and avoid
complications. With the nicer weather, PE classes will spend a lot of time outdoors,
so it is very important that your children use their inhalers appropriately and keep
them on hand. As always, we do need an order from a physician on record in the
clinic even if the student is carrying the inhaler and self-administering.
Remember, good hygiene is important and hand washing is key. Use tissues and
dispose of them properly and cough or sneeze into your arm. With proper
treatment and supportive measures, we all work to keep your child in school. Just
a reminder, though, if your child is running a fever, they must be kept at home until
they are fever free (without medication) for 24 hours. Thank you all for your
cooperation, and as always, please contact the clinic with any questions or concerns.

Our Mission:
Trex’s mission for the Plastic Bag Recycling Challenge is to educate students about the importance of plastic bag
recycling and keeping plastic out of the landfill.
How the Plastic Bag Recycling Challenge works:

The Plastic Bag Recycling Challenge begins at the beginning of the school year or on America Recycles Day November 15, and ends on Earth Day – April 22.

Trex provides recycling bins and a recycling poster to the school (at no cost to the school).

Trex will provide each student with a magnet which shows examples of plastics bags and plastic wraps that
can be recycled.

A school volunteer (teacher, parent or janitor) will tally how much plastic has been collected. You can do
this by counting each individual bag or by counting each full bin. The bins should be lined with a 30 gallon trash
bag. A full 30 gallon bag is approximately 1000 grocery bags and weighs 13.5 pounds.
A school volunteer will take the collected plastic to the most convenient, participating retail location.
How Winners are determined:

Winners are determined by the largest number of bags reported and collected (per capita) by Earth Day
(April 22), for your county or region.
The monthly tally should be emailed to Stephanie Hicks (shicks@trex.com) or Recycle@Trex.com.
Incentives:

Each participating school will receive a birdhouse made from Trex.
The first place winner for your county or region will receive of a bench made of Trex.
Drop off locations:
Wegmans and Giant
What Can be Recycled:

Grocery Bags, Bread Bags, Case Over-wrap

Dry Cleaning Bags, Newspaper Sleeves

Ice Bags, Pellet Bags, Salt Bags

Ziploc and other reclosable food bags

Produce Bags, Bubble Wrap, Cereal Bags

Recycling at CFHS
CFHS wants to adopt the slogan: Think: "Blue, Gray, Tray" as a catch
phrase to help students to remember how they should proceed in the process of recycling. Students have been told the following:
When the students get up to discard their trash, they should:
1. Go to a BLUE recycling bin----to deposit all recyclable items, especially drink containers, milk cartons, and plastics.
2. Next students should go to a GRAY trash bin----to deposit nonrecyclable items, to include used napkins/paper towels,wrappers of any
kind (candy,crackers, potato chips, etc.) DO NOT RECYCLE THESE!
3. Finally, students should take their TRAY to the designated window in
the cafeteria.
Thus, we want to begin with the above stated catch phrase. So when you
hear it, you will know that it is tired to our recycling efforts. Anything
that you can do to encourage this school wide project is greatly appreciated. Hopefully, appropriate signs and posters will be created as visual
aids for students. Your thoughts and ideas are welcomed!

Class Room Activities
The Math Department will be hosting it's annual Saturday SOL Review
Program. This program is offered by invitation only for students recommended by their math teacher. Parents and guardians of these students
should receive a letter in the mail the beginning of March inviting their
child to attend the review sessions. The five Saturday classes are April
13, April 27, May 4, May 18, and June 1 from 9:30am - 11:30am. Once
parents/guardians receive the letter they should call the school to sign
up their child for the class. Each class is capped at 30 students, therefore others will be put on a waiting list.

Learn & Serve classes and community organizations from all over the county got together for Agents of

to participants.
Classes 4X and 1Y made displays for the event. Learn & Serve 2 student Maggie Carolan inspired her
classmates to produce the Global Girls Project which informed members of the community about the
hardships girls face in poor countries and what micro finance companies can do to help. Community
members could pledge to spread awareness, read profiles of girls who are sponsored and make paper
bead bracelets.
The 1Y class created a station for their project: "Operation Tango Hotel X-Ray" (THX = Thanks!). Members of the community could write letters to troops that were mailed to For the Troops, an organization
that distributes the letters to service members.
Special thanks goes to Marcus Johnson for representing Forge by wearing the Eagle costume!
