The Ottawa County Health Department (OCHD) will be coming to CHS on Monday, September 21th to perform vision screenings on our 7th grade students. Per the OCHD, we must inform families in advance of the date the vision screens will take place with ample time for a parent to Opt-Out of the screening if they so choose. Please contact our main office at (616)997-3400 to opt your child out of the screening by Thursday, September 17.

Starting this week, families will begin receiving email reports on Wednesdays at 6:00 PM regarding missing assignments and each day at 6:00 PM for any behavior incidents involving your child. These incidents could include a teacher conference or lunch detention that were to the level of being recorded in our Infinite Campus system. If you receive these emails, this is an excellent time to discuss your child's work habits, use of time in school (particularly Bridge Time), & look through binders for lost assignments. If you have questions, please reach out directly to the teacher. Thank you for partnering with our staff to help your child succeed!

Middle and High School students have a new opportunity to have a dental cleaning and exam on campus on September 8, 2026. This is a service provided through the Ottawa County Health Department. See flyer for details.

As we prepare for a successful school year, we need your help with a quick but crucial task: completing the Education Benefits Form. You might be wondering: "If meals are already free for students, why do I still need to fill out this form?" While universal free meal programs ensure our students are nourished every day, the Education Benefits Form is about much more than lunch. It is the primary tool used by the state and federal government to determine how much grant funding our school receives to support student learning and well-being.

Educational Benefits Form

We are always excited with families would like be involved at CMS! If you are interested in helping out at CMS there are three main opportunities:

- Popping Friday morning popcorn

- Bronco Bashes are events for students to stay after school on one Friday a quarter to have some fun with friends. Activities like basketball, board games, corn hole, ping pong, etc. are available along with concessions. Adults are needed to supervise various areas in the building.

- One option during our BRIDGE Time from 1:50-2:25 Tuesday-Fridays if for students to choose a "School Culture" activity. We always appreciate adults who are willing to share their talents or interests! Examples might include playing chess or card games, knitting, sharing life experiences, playing various sports, nature walks, etc. A staff member would connect with a volunteer to determine dates and topics. Come share your knowledge, passions, or experiences!
