If it rains on Saturday, the event will move indoors to the high school.
The 4th Annual CHS PTO Trunk or Treat is scheduled for this Sunday, October 11, 2026, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM.
While this is normally a "rain or shine" event, we are closely monitoring a forecast that calls for heavy rain and wind. Because these conditions would make trunk-or-treating too challenging, please note our current contingency plan:
Final Decision: We will make an official call by noon this Friday, October 9th.
Updates: You will receive a follow-up email on Friday. The decision will also be published in this week's PTO Inside Update newsletter.
Rain Date: If we postpone, the make-up date is Saturday, October 17, 2026 (same time and location). This alternative date gives us the flexibility to move inside to the high school if we are met with bad weather again.
Thank you for your flexibility as we work to keep this event safe and fun for the kids!

On Tuesday, June 2, the third grade students presented their biography research in the form of a Living Wax Museum. Over the course of four weeks, students conducted research, created a presentation, and wrote an essay and speech. Students focused on their historical person's childhood, adulthood and achievements. As the culminating project, third graders dressed up as their historical figure and presented a speech to the family, friends, and staff members who attended the Living Wax Museum.

Cuyahoga Heights Schools is grateful for the continued support of the CHS PTO, whose Teacher Mini-Grants are making a direct impact in our classrooms.

From literacy materials and math manipulatives to STEM supplies, flexible seating, and even support for student activities and performances, these funds are helping create meaningful learning opportunities every day.
Thank you to our PTO for investing in our students, supporting our educators, and helping bring innovative ideas to life in our schools.
