Recap of First Three Days of School

Well, the first three days of the 2015-16 school year are in the books and I think that we had a great start!  The Grab and Go Breakfast was a huge success!  We had and average of 49.6% of our student body participate during the first three days, which is fantastic!  I hope that the kids enjoyed the opportunity to grab a quick snack and that it helped sustain them during their morning classes.

THANK YOU!!!

Parents,

Thank you for attending the back to school student/parent orientations this week.  The turn out at all three meetings was spectacular!  I hope that you found the meetings informational and that they helped get you and your child ready for the start of a new school year.  I greatly appreciate your flexibility and patience in dealing with all of the venue changes as well as the hot and crowded rooms.  If you any questions or concerns, please let me know.

Mr. Dressel

5th Grade Orientation in Chadron Primary School Gym

8/13/15

Parents,

The CMS gym floor is not finished, so we are going to begin the 5th grade orientation in the Primary School gym at 5:30.  You can park on the east side of the middle school and enter the Primary School through the east door.  There will be a 40-minute informational meeting and then students will pick up their locks and schedules before heading over to the middle school to check things out.

Thank you.

Dress Code Video

Parents,

This dress code video was produced by Natron County School District, but it provides a good example of the Chadron's dress code guidelines too.  If you have a chance, please watch it.  Thank you!

This year marked the 150th anniversary of the end of the Civil War.  On Thursday, April 30th, the Chadron Middle School Choir celebrated with a musical tribute to the men and women who fought and died in that war.  Usually, the 7th and 8th grade choir perform separately from the 6th graders, but last night all three grades performed together.  The performance included severn songs and a recitation of the Gettysburg Address.  Nice job middle schoolers!
