WELCOME TO CHS!
My name is Zach Thompson and I'll be teaching Teen Health at C.H.S. Middle School. This is my 8th Year teaching Health and Physical Education and I’ve recently moved back up to Michigan after being in Florida for the past 5 years.
I enjoy golfing, playing basketball, and working out in my free time. I have been married to my wife Sarah for almost 7 years and we have two daughters (Eva and Kay) and a black Labrador named Chica. I’m a HUGE Michigan Wolverines fan and also root for all of the major Detroit professional teams. I’m excited to be part of the Walled Lake Community after growing up in Oakland County and can’t wait to get started!

On Tuesday, September 24th, 6th-8th grade will participate in a 30 minute presentation for middle school students called Vaping 101. Students will learn the effects of vaping on the body and brain and the law related to vaping.
The presentation will be given by Mrs. Cheryl Phillips who has been in the education field for over 30 years. She worked for St. Joseph Mercy Health System for over 20 years presenting programs to students across Southeast Michigan on health, leadership and substance abuse prevention.
Student Chromebook Support Request Form
- If a student needs support, he/she should fill out the link below. The link can also be found on all Google Classrooms and on the school website under Students. Being logged on to the school google account is required to access the form.
- The information in the form will be sent to Mrs. Stasak, our Middle School Computer Resource Teacher. She will reply to the student at his/her school gmail account. She will offer suggestions to fix the issue or, if it needs service, she will tell the student to take the chromebook to the office and give it to building admin secretary (enter the name for your building).
- The chromebook in the case will be sent through interoffice and the student will be allowed to use a loaner chromebook AT SCHOOL. It will be the student’s responsibility to pick it up each morning from the office and return it at the end of the day.
- When the chromebook has been repaired, it will be delivered back to the school for the student to pick up.
- If the family purchased insurance, the first repair is free and all additional repairs carry a deductible. Deductible invoices or repair invoices, for those that did not choose insurance, must be paid before the repaired chromebook is returned.
- If a student with a personal chromebook has a network issue, the same form can be used. We are not able to fix physical problems with personal devices and loaner chromebooks will not be provided.
As we prepare for the start of the school year, we wanted to touch base with you regarding the process of administering medications to students at school.
Medications are administered at school under the supervision of our office staff. This includes BOTH prescription medications AND over the counter (ibuprofen, pain relievers, etc.) medications. BOTH types of medication require a completed and signed WLCSD medication authorization form by BOTH the parent/ guardian AND the child’s doctor.
For safety and confidentiality reasons, we will not be accepting medications at Smart Start. If you would like to drop off medications and the required documentation prior to the start of the school year, please contact our office secretary, Mrs. Tonya Gray, directly at 248-956-3512.
As you have questions about this process please give Mrs. Gray a call.
FROM THE ATTENDANCE DESK
If your child will be absent, please call the Smart Attendance Hotline (248) 956-3510 as soon as possible. If you know of a vacation or pre planned days off, you can leave those dates on the hotline as well.
If you have not called your child in by 9:30 a.m., you will receive a call from Mrs Gray to verify that your student is not at school for the day. Thank you for partnering with us in keeping your children safe and accounted for.
