We hope everyone had a wonderful Winter Break! We are excited to see what 2025 has in store!

5th Grade - Unit 4: Problem-Solving - Unit 4 Home Link

Lesson 16: Beginning to STEP - In this lesson, your child will learn how to begin to solve an interpersonal problem. This includes finding a way to feel calm, saying the problem respectfully, and deciding whether an adult’s help is needed.

Try this at home: Ask your child what kind of interpersonal problems they can solve on their own, and when they might need an adult’s help.

6th Grade - Bullying/Harassment Unit

Lesson 3: Responding to Online Bullying - In this week’s lesson, your child will use what they know about in-person bullying to compare it to online bullying. They’ll learn and apply different strategies for responding to online bullying in a safe and healthy way.

Try this at home: Tell your child your thoughts on how social media has changed since you were in school. Ask your child about their thoughts on the benefits and disadvantages of social media in the world today.

Lesson 3 - The Effects of Sexual Harassment? - In this week’s lesson, your child will learn about the effects of sexual harassment, and how to identify support resources available at school.

8th Grade - Bullying/Harassment Unit

Lesson 3 - Environmental Factors that Contribute to Bullying - In this week’s lesson, your child will identify environmental factors (the physical space and rules of an area) that contribute to bullying and harassment, and explore how they contribute to bullying and harassment in their school.

Try this at home: Ask your child what environmental factors are. Share your observations about environmental factors that you’ve witnessed in the world outside of school.

The bulk of our Winter Testing concluded before break. We do have some makeups to complete, and we hope to wrap those up this week.

The Middle School has a Parent Club! Please go to their Facebook Page (linked below) and click "follow" to stay up-to-date on what they have going on and ways to volunteer! Also, please see the attached graphic listing out the group's meeting dates for the next few months. The next meeting is this Wednesday, January 8th at 6:30 PM at the Corner Cup!

The Hoops for Hunger event is scheduled for January 22nd this year. Permission slips will be sent home soon! The purpose of this event is to raise money for the Greater Lansing Food Bank and to have fun at a CMU Women’s basketball game. It is very important that students demonstrate their ability to follow expectations while at school so that we can trust that they will follow the expectations at the game. With that being said, students will only be allowed to attend this event if they have three or fewer behavior referrals from Monday, December 2nd through January 21st. It is up to our students to make sure they are following all school expectations from now until the event on January 22nd. I believe that all of our students have the ability to do this!

For any questions related to youth sports, please contact the appropriate sports program directly. Don’t call the school as our staff is unable to answer specific questions about your child’s team, schedule, or registration status. Instead, reach out to the sports organization for the most up-to-date information!

If you’re not sure who to contact, check out this page on our website that provides contact information for many of the local youth sports organizations in the Chippewa Hills area.

Let's show our Chippewa Hills Middle School Staff some appreciation! This form will be linked every week along with a couple shout-outs as they come in.

Ms. Spry - Ag Science Teacher

"Jessi cares deeply about supporting her students. Even though she teaches classes in both the middle school and high school, she goes above and beyond to arrive early to connect with students and staff. She is frequently talking with students, cheering them on, and she continues to create interactive projects in her classroom. The students are excited to watch the fish grow and learn about Dottie the bunny's characteristics from a science perspective. We are lucky to have Ms. Spry helping our middle school students learn and grow!"

Mr. Russell - 8th Grade Science Teacher / PE, Fitness, Sports Teacher

"He is a very good teacher, and we learn a lot"
