A MESSAGE FROM PRINCIPAL UNVERSAW

Greetings, Chapin Middle School Families!

The 2026-2027 school year is almost here, and I am so excited to get to know you. Thank you for the many warm welcomes I have already received.

The wonderful CMS Administration and Summer Staff have been working diligently since June on the transition from serving 5th and 6th Graders to serving students in Grades 6-8. A huge thank you to Dr. Jo Wright and Mr. Ryan Pearson for their leadership during this time. We are also incredibly grateful for every staff member who came together to help us prepare and get this new school year started off on the right foot.

As you wrap up your summer vacations, please regularly check the Chapin Middle website and emails from the school and district to prepare for the new school year. We also communicate important dates and information through social media.

I can't wait to welcome our students and families and make this a year filled with learning, growth, and Eagle pride! I am proud to serve in this wonderful school and community. Your support of CMS is greatly appreciated.

Kind regards,

Mrs. Anna Unversaw

Principal
