CHS Middle School

The C.H.S. Staff and I wanted to take a moment to thank you for supporting the entire C.H.S. Middle School Community since we started a new journey together back in August of 2022.

Often times it is hard to recognize the wonderful things accomplished when you're busy with children, work, and many other responsibilities. There are times though where we need to pause and celebrate the wonderful things taking place in our school community.

Please take a minute to read the many things you have been a part of in a short period of time. Things will only continue to be better as we continue to develop systems of continuous improvement and continue to build a positive, and respectful school community where we always assume the best with every member of our school community, and where everyone is valued for who they are.

Respectfully,

Nayal Maktari and the C.H.S. Middle School Staff

*MTSS stands for multi-tiered system of supports. It’s a framework many schools use to give targeted support to students that need additional support. MTSS is designed to help schools identify students early and intervene quickly. It focuses on the “whole child.”

Please take a moment to congratulate your child on doing a wonderful job, to continue to try their absolute best, and to strive to be better each and every day!

While we celebrate the accomplishments and hard work of the C.H.S. Middle School Community, we still have many things we strive to improve in, and each school year brings different challenges.

Lastly, the positive things happening at C.H.S. Middle School would not be possible without the hard work and commitment of our wonderful staff and supportive families.

Thank you,

Nayal Maktari and the C.H.S. Middle School Staff
