E-LEARNING DAY FOR ALL D5 STUDENTS ~ FRIDAY, OCT. 11
District 5 previously announced that Friday, October 11, 2024, will be used as a hazardous weather makeup day due to the school closure on August 8, 2024. Please be advised that Friday, October 11, 2024, will be an e-learning day for all students in School District Five. All teachers and staff should report to school as normal.
Teachers will post assignments to Google Classroom by 10:00 a.m. for asynchronous learning. If a teacher does not utilize Google Classroom, they will notify parents and students of how this information will be shared. Asynchronous learning involves students completing assignments independently at their own pace throughout the day. Teachers will continue to support students during asynchronous learning by providing feedback, responding to questions, and reviewing assignments when in-person learning resumes. All students will have up to five (5) school days to complete assignments.
All after school childcare programs are canceled on Friday, October 11, 2024. However, other after school activities and athletic events will continue as scheduled.
CONGRATS! CONGRATS! CONGRATS!

FROM THE ATTENDANCE CLERK
🌟 Attendance Matters at Chapin Middle School! 🌟
At CMS, we know that every day counts—for students, faculty, and staff! Showing up isn't just about meeting requirements; it’s about the connections, growth, and opportunities we experience together. 🎒📚
👩🎓 Students: School is where you build friendships, discover new interests, and gain the skills you need for success. Each day you attend is a step closer to your goals, whether it's in the classroom, on the court, or on the stage.
👩🏫 Faculty & Staff: Every day is a chance to inspire young minds, make a difference, and watch your students grow. When you're here, you're building relationships and creating a positive learning environment!
💙 What brings us to school each day? It’s the support of our amazing community, the excitement of learning something new, and the pride in being part of something bigger. Together, we make Chapin Middle School a place where everyone thrives!
Let’s make every day count! 🦅💙
