Quote of the week

"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."
— John F. Kennedy
As we celebrate Veterans Day this week, remember that saying “thank you” is just the beginning. We show our appreciation through our actions, by treating others with kindness, helping someone who needs it, including others, and showing respect to the people around us. This week, think about how you can put your gratitude into action and show others how much they matter through the choices you make each day. At CHMS, let’s show our gratitude by living our ROCKIN Expectations and making a positive difference in our school community!

Veteran's Day

There will be NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, November 11 in honor of  Veteran's Day.  Thank you to all who served. 

ROCKIN Coyote Celebration

We are looking forward to our first ROCKIN’ Coyote Celebration of the year on November 13.  Remember, students must have cleared all zeros by November 6 to be eligible. In addition students should have no more than 4 tardies, no suspensions, and no outstanding detentions.  Students who are not attending the celebration will receive extra support from their advisory teacher during that time to complete missing assignments.
Please note, we are looking for parent volunteers for our ROCKIN COYOTES CELEBRATIONS.  Our hope is to offer students a variety of activities to participate in during this reward time.  If you have some flexibility in your day and are interested in coming on campus to work with our students, please fill out this form.  If you are unavailable during the school day to come to campus, but still want to support students, we are also in need of donations/prizes for students.    This will be a level 1 volunteer requirement.
