WELCOME TO CHS MIDDLE SCHOOL!

Dear 5th Grade Families,

This week, 6th grade counselor Mrs. Julie Braley and I, visited all four feeder elementary schools to meet with incoming 6th grade students. We provided information about CHS, including details about a typical day, extracurricular activities, course offerings, and the "Middle School Experience".

In this experience, students will continue to attend the four core classes daily, but encore choices will vary by student. Band and orchestra remain full-year courses, while we are offering eight additional 10-week courses. Those who choose band or orchestra will be enrolled in four encore classes, while students not playing an instrument will participate in all eight encores. A list of course offerings with descriptions will be sent home with your child following our visit this week. You can also view the course offering sheet that will be provided to your child by clicking the link below.

Students who enroll in Band or Orchestra will also take 4 encores classes (Digital Literacy, Middle School Success, and two randomly selected encores). Remember Band and Orchestra are YEAR LONG commitments. Students will NOT be dropped from the class during the year or at the semester.

Additionally, the required Google Encore Request Form will be emailed to you this week and must be completed by Friday, March 13th
