A Message from the Principal
Hello Cougars!
It was a busy week at CHMS and our Cougars are working hard. With just 7 school days left in marking period one, time is running out!
If you haven't given it your all yet...NOW IS THE TIME!
Halloween is right around the corner, don't be HAUNTED with a zero in the grade book! Make sure you log onto PowerSchool and get those assignments turned in! If you need extra time, reach out to a teacher or counselor to sign up for Twilight (Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday 2:30-4:30) must be 24 hours in advance!
Be kind on purpose,
Mrs. Sands
November 2 - Conferences
On November 2, 2026 schools are closed for students. During this professional development day for staff, we will be conducting parent-teacher conferences. We have reached out directly to the parents of students who need to attend based on their current progress.
If you did not receive communication about scheduling a conference, it is not necessary that you do so; however, if you would like to meet with any of your student's teachers, we would like to offer you the ability to do so on this day.
If you are interested in scheduling a time, please use this link: https://www.ptcfast.com/schools/Cherry_Hill_Middle_School to sign up. This link will close on October 29, 2026.
Please note that we can host a parent-teacher conference at any point in the school year, so if this day does not work for you, or if slots are not available, please reach out to your student's teacher or school counselor and we will be glad to set something up.
