No lesson this week due to Hoops for Hunger

It’s time to plan for high school! Join us for an important parent meeting on Thursday, January 30 to kickstart your student’s journey to high school. The meeting will be held in the High School Auditorium at 6:30 PM.

This meeting will cover high school class options and course pathways, key deadlines and requirements, and provide tips for a smooth transition to high school.

Don’t miss this chance to get all your questions answered and help your student prepare for this next big step. Let’s make the high school planning process easy and exciting together!

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!

CMU shared the concessions menu with prices for students and parents to see ahead of time. You can see it attached below.

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! Please know that this event is for current Chippewa Hills students. Students from other schools are not able to attend.

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.
