Activities begin at Chippewa next week! If your student is planning to ride the activity bus, please help them figure out which bus they will ride, their address, and their nearest cross streets. You can find all the information about our activity buses here , but you can always call the front office with any questions.

Please keep in mind that we only have 3 activity bus routes, so your student's ride home will take longer than their regular after-school route.

Activity buses run Monday through Thursday ONLY and depart the school promptly at 3:45 PM.

Students must be in a supervised activity after school to ride the activity bus.

You are invited to attend the 7th/8th Grade Family Information Night on Tuesday, September 17th. You will learn more about your student's day with a brief presentation at 6:00 p.m. in the Chippewa Auditorium. Following the presentation, you can walk through your students' schedule and meet their teachers.

Your student will get a schedule to fill out and bring home next week with their class schedule written down. The format for the evening will follow an abbreviated schedule of your students' day, beginning with Period 1 at 6:25 p.m. and ending with Period 7 at 7:40 p.m.

Since space is limited, we ask that only parents or guardians attend this event. If you cannot attend, please view the introduction videos for all 24-25 Chippewa teachers.

Thank you, and we hope to see you on Tuesday night!

However, if your student develops a cough lasting longer than seven days, the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) is recommending that your student be evaluated by a health care provider.
