CHMS Weekly Update
May 19th - May 23rd
Last Week of the 2024-2025 School Year!
It seems surreal that we have made it to the last week of the school year! I just have a few reminders as we wrap up the year.
- Thursday and Friday are Early Release Days! Students will be released at 12:00.
- We will be cleaning out lockers on Tuesday and Wednesday. If a student's locker is particularly full, it might be a good idea to bring an empty bag!
- Library Books and any borrowed Chromebooks (don't forget the chargers) are due back to the school on Wednesday!
- Students should look around the house for any school textbooks that should also be brought back to the school by Wednesday.
Thank you to everyone for a great year! Stay tuned for information about Registration, Open House, and 5th Grade Orientation dates for the fall!
Field Trip Reminders
Our 6th graders have their field trip this week!
Wednesday, May 21st - 6th grade trip to the Zoo
This experience has behavior expectations connected to it. If students receive two or more behavior referrals or any suspensions for major behavior concerns from April 25th through the date of their experience, they will not be eligible to attend.
Meet Up and Eat Up Summer Food Program
Chippewa Hills is proud to participate in the Meet Up and Eat Up program again this year, providing free meals all summer long to children and teens 18 and under. Families can pick up a week's worth of food every Wednesday, from June 4 to August 13.
Here are the pickup locations and times for the summer:
- Wednesdays, 11 AM – 1 PM at all three Elementary buildings (Barryton, Mecosta, and Weidman)
