2024-2025 School Supply Lists

Heights High students will receive information about supply needs from each course teacher during the first week of school. Students should bring their Chromebook, a pen, pencil, notebook and a folder for handouts on the first day of school and a backpack, messenger bag or other satchel to carry their school supplies and personal belongings.
 
*Some elementary PTA groups post supply lists on Yubbler in order to fundraise. Yubbler may not carry some specific supplies and will add substitute products. Please make sure to follow the supply lists posted here regardless of where you purchase them.

Heights Family Academy Webinars

Online Learning Options For Grades 6-12

Tiger Virtual Academy (TVA) will no longer exist as a separate school within CH-UH. Instead of enrolling in TVA, students in grades 9-12 who wish to attend school fully online will have that opportunity through Cleveland Heights High School credit flex. Middle school students who ended the 2023-2024 school year enrolled in TVA have the option to continue attending school online through the Ohio Online program offered by the Educational Service Center of Northeast Ohio.

See this letter for details.

Food Services - Free Breakfast & Lunch for All Students

All students in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District, from pre-K through 12, will receive free breakfast and lunch each day of the 2024-2025 school year.

Every student, regardless of family income level, in every district school building will receive a healthy breakfast and lunch at no charge each day. Students will continue to receive the same high-quality meals provided by AVI Fresh, the district’s food service partner. Families do not need to submit Free and Reduced Lunch applications.  

A la carte items will be available for purchase at the high school and middle school. Students must pay for these items with cash, check or the pre-paid balance on their Infinite Campus account. Students will not be able to “charge” for a la carte items. Correct change must be provided for a la carte purchases; any cash change will instead be credited to the student’s Infinite Campus account for future purchases.
All parents/guardians in the CH-UH City School District are able to sign up for our student information system, Infinite Campus.
 
Infinite Campus is an extremely important tool for parents and guardians. It is the official grade book for the District, meaning that all grades are maintained in Infinite Campus rather than paper grade books for grades 3-12. K-2 parents can benefit by signing on as well, because the system also allows you to check your student’s attendance, assignments, and academic progress. It is an excellent way to communicate with your student’s teachers.
 
Families are also encouraged to update their contact information in Infinite Campus in order to receive important school and emergency-related information. Families must "opt-in" to receive these messages via phone call or text message.
 
The activation process is quick and easy and, once completed, you’ll be able to follow your child’s progress throughout the year. You can get your activation code when you register your student or from the school office. The CH-UH Data Department also creates Infinite Campus accounts for parents/guardians who request them. If you do not already have an account and would like one, please fill out this Google Form. You will be notified by email when your account is created. 

Parent Annual Update
All parents/guardians are required yearly to update the information in Infinite Campus that was formerly collected on required forms at the start of school (Emergency Medical form, Media Release, "Blue Card," etc.). Follow these instructions to complete the Annual Update.

Student Code of Conduct

Each school in the Cleveland Heights-University Heights City School District has adopted a Student Code of Conduct (SCOC). The SCOC for every building is available for download below.


The District is holding virtual Student Code of Conduct (SCOC) Community Meetings for Heights parents, caregivers, and students to discuss the SCOC. These community meetings are part of the District’s continuing effort to make our families aware of the SCOC and what it means for their children. You can review each school's Student Code of Conduct here.

The Student Code of Conduct Community Meetings will be hosted by Reggie Williams, CH-UH Discipline Supervisor, on August 12, 14, 19, 21, and 26 virtually. Find links here.

Sessions will run from 1 p.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.

For more information, please reach out to Reggie Williams at [email protected]. 

If you have questions regarding the SCOC, you can also fill out and submit the Google Form specific to you, via the links below:
