SUPPLIES -- Walmart has a wonderful selection of school supplies and lists provided as to what is needed. It is our advice that students wait until after the first Monday and listen to what teachers feel is needed for their class. You can't go wrong by getting, paper, folders, writing utensils, & colored pencils. From there, teachers should have a list of supplies for you at open house as well as the first days of school.
STUDENT ID's -- ID's will be mandatory for ALL students to wear daily. Students will need their ID's to swipe for lunches, library, bus riders and eventually many other aspects of their day. Students should be receiving these the first days of school.
School Breakfast and Lunch -- School Breakfast and lunch will continue to be free for all CMS students. Our wonderful Cafeteria staff offer options for students daily.
Social Media And CMS
CMS has a Facebook page. We will showcase school activities, celebrations and all the cool things we do on campus.
Cell Phones at School -- We have all become attached to our phones. Please understand that the expectation is that students will not be allowed to use phones and headphones during instructional time. Phones are to be off or on silent and put away during instructional time (in backpacks). Students are more than welcome to access their phones during their lunch period and before/after school. If you need to communicate with your student during instructional time please feel free to call the office and we will get a message to your student. The case of an emergency students will be given access to their phones.
Clubs and Extracurricular Activities-- Chaparral Middle School is a place were every student can thrive. We want all students to find a place to belong at CMS. We want to encourage students to be a part of a club, sport, or activity that engages their interest and will help them belong and support them moving through their middle school years.
PE INFORMATION
This year CMS students will "dress out" for PE. Our PE uniform this year includes the CMS Physical Education T-Shirt, Athletic Shoes and socks, and any dress code acceptable athletic shorts or sweats of your choice. Flip-Flops, boots, and sandals are not a good choice for the PE environment. There is an option to purchase a CMS PE t-shirt for $8 and it can be purchased at the Winners Circle on 10th St.
FOOD DELIVERIES
Food deliveries will not be accepted. We cannot be responsible for doordash or other fast food being dropped off. A forgotten lunchbox from home is ok.
