CHMS Weekly Update

Parents, please fill out the survey linked below to provide input on the Week at a Glance process and our communication practices overall.

Our next Activity Afternoon is this Friday for 5th and 6th graders!

Remember, an Activity Afternoon is an after-school event, from 3:15 - 5:00, where students will be able to dance in the cafeteria, play in the gym, buy concessions, and more! We split these events into 5th/6th graders together and 7th/8th graders together, and the cost is $5 to get in the door. Money raised at these events goes back to the students to pay for things like field trips, concession items, behavior rewards, etc. If your child stays for an Activity Afternoon, please make sure they have transportation planned to pick them up at 5:00 PM.

**Special note! Pizza will be available for $2 per slice. Everything else (pop, candy, gaterade, chips) will be $1.

In this week’s lesson, your child will identify signs of stress, situations that can cause them to feel stress, and strategies they can use to manage feelings of stress.

Lesson 7 - Bringing It All Together

In this week’s lesson, your child will bring it all together and create an action plan to help them accomplish one of the goals they chose at the beginning of the unit.

Try this at home: Ask your child what their goal is, how they broke it down into smaller goals, and their plans for achieving it. Discuss how you can support them if things at home or in school slow them down or stand in their way and about how you can celebrate when they achieve their goal.

This November, Chippewa Hills voters will decide on a bond proposal that addresses some of our district’s most pressing needs. With nearly 1,800 students learning in buildings that range from modern spaces to schools built in the 1930s, it’s time to ensure our facilities reflect the needs of today’s learners and tomorrow’s opportunities.

The bond proposal focuses on three key areas:

Safety & Security – Updated entrances, secure learning spaces, and improved emergency systems.

Facility Upgrades – Repairing and modernizing aging buildings to provide safe, reliable learning spaces.

Community Space – Expanding gym space so students don’t have to practice late into the evening, while also creating facilities the whole community can use.

This is a responsible investment in our children, our schools, and the future of Chippewa Hills—without raising the current tax rate. The proposal maintains the levy at 2.41 mills, one of the lowest rates in the area.

Election Day is November 4.
