WELCOME BACK!
Second semester has begun and we are so excited to see everyone back in the classrooms.
It is a fresh start and we wish all our students continued growth and success.
Course registration for the 2026-2027 school year will be opening soon. Complete details will be in next week's Wolverine Weekly.
Battle of the Books
It is time for the Battle of the Books. If you're new to the Chap community, the district high school teacher-librarians drive this event, and the entire competition takes place on one day: Saturday, February 7, 2026, at Douglas County High School. We are looking for gift card donations of $10-20 for prizes!
If you're not familiar with the high school version, teams of (up to) 4 answer trivia questions covering 9 books — books nominated and voted on by the students early last fall. The event begins with a round-robin during which every team participates in at least three battles. Then we move on to the Sweet Sixteen, the Elite Eight, the Final Four, and, yes, eventually, the Championship! Chaparral is bringing 13 teams totaling 49 readers to the event — by far the most teams and the most competitors in DCSD!
DCSD High School Battle of the Books is run by the high school librarians, and there is no budget for the event. The DCSD teacher-librarians want every participant to leave with a prize, and given Chaparral's large representation, we try to bring the most prizes.
Battle of the Books- Gift Card Donation Link
Watching these book-loving kids enthusiastically and joyfully and kindly battle other teams is one of the most beautiful experiences in DCSD. We thank you for your support of this cause and your support of these kids!

Freshman and Sophomore Parents:
Can You Help?
We are excited to announce that planning is beginning for this year's After Prom event.
After Prom is in need of getting Freshman and Sophomore parents involved in planning.
With this being a 100% parent run event we are trying to figure out how to get the word out so After Prom can continue for future classes.
It looks like we have enough money to continue for the next 2 years. After that we will not have the funds to continue After Prom without planning ahead.
Please contact Heidi (hbminnesota@yahoo.com) or Kendra (bacowhite6@gmail.com) if you are willing to help.
Please join us at our future meeting dates in the library
January. 27
February 17
March 24
April 7 and 21
After Prom- April 24

SAVE THE DATE: April 24th
