5th Grade - Unit 4: Problem-Solving

Lesson 17: When? Where? Who? - In this lesson, your child will consider when, where, and with whom it would be best to work on an interpersonal problem.

Try this at home: Ask your child why it’s important to think about when, where, and with whom it would be best to work on an interpersonal problem.

6th Grade - Bullying/Harassment Unit

Lesson 4: How to be an Upstander - In this week’s lesson, your child will learn three “upstander strategies” for responding to bullying. They’ll practice analyzing different bullying situations and choosing an upstander strategy they think would work best for each situation.

Try this at home: Ask your child about the three upstander strategies they learned and which one (or ones) they feel most comfortable with. Let them know they can always come to you if they need someone to talk to.

7th Grade - Bullying/Harassment Unit

Lesson 4 - Gender-Based Harassment? - In this week’s lesson, your child will learn how to recognize gender-based harassment. This is when people are bothered, teased, or bullied because of their sex, or because they look, act, or have interests that are different from male and female stereotypes.

Try this at home: Remind your child that it's important that they tell you if they experience gender-based harassment. If you feel comfortable doing so, share an example of gender-based harassment you or another person has experienced and how you or the other person dealt with it.

8th Grade - Bullying/Harassment Unit

Lesson 4 - Speak Up and Start a Movement - In this week’s lesson, your child will explore how two strategies, speaking up and starting a movement, can disrupt the factors that enable bullying and harassment.

Try this at home: Ask your child about these strategies and how they think they can help eliminate bullying and harassment in their school. Expand your discussion to include areas outside of school.

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.

Our Middle School students have been invited to attend the Hoops for Hunger event at Central Michigan University on January 22nd. In order to attend, we need a permission slip filled out and submitted by a parent/guardian. Below you will find the digital version of the permission slip. If you prefer a paper copy, please contact the office at (989) 967-2200, and we will get one sent home with your student.

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 events outside of school. 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!

STEM Club will be starting at the end of this month! Anyone interested in participating can sign up in the office. The meeting times will be after school from 3:00 to 4:30. 5th and 6th graders meet on Tuesdays, starting on January 28th. 7th and 8th graders meet on Thursdays, starting on January 30th. The number of spaces is limited, so if students are interested, they should sign up soon! If you have any questions, please see Mr. Thompson in room 207 or email him at tthompson@chsd.us. STEM Club Activities Include: Lego Coding, Lego Robot competition, 3D Printing, Coding Circuit Playground Express, Soldering, and Building a robotic arm.

Below you will see some info about the Middle School Snow Bash sponsored by our Parent Group!

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.
