CHMS Weekly Update

You may have noticed that student schedules has changed a little bit over the weekend. Students will now have W.I.N Time and Wellness Wednesday classes on their schedules. Remember, W.I.N Time stands for "What I Need" Time and has replaced Homeroom at the middle school. This is a dedicated block during the school day where students receive support based on their specific needs, and these needs are determined by assessment data (NWEA, Acadience, etc.). Students may receive interventions to help with reading or math, or they may receive an enrichment in order to challenge them with more advanced concepts. These placements are fluid and may change throughout the year as students' needs change. Students will receive intervention or enrichment four days per week with the fifth day (Wellness Wednesday) being used to deliver our Social-Emotional Learning Curriculum, Second Step.

If you have any questions about W.I.N Time, please feel free to reach out to our Interventionist, Jill Dagley at jdagley@chsd.us

Introducing Website Wednesdays! We’re making lots of improvements on our Chippewa Hills website and within our CHSD Warriors app. Every Wednesday, we’ll showcase some of the new features on our website and show you where you can find valuable District information both online and in the district app.

This week, let’s talk about Rooms!

Parents, have you joined Rooms yet? Rooms is a new feature in the CHSD Warriors app that allows parents and guardians to stay up to date with classroom announcements and message with your student’s teachers.

If you have not received your invitation to join Rooms, or if you’re having trouble with your Rooms account, you can fill out the Rooms Request Form on our website or in the app.

The form can be found HERE.

The form can be found on our website from the District home page under District > CHSD Warriors App > Rooms Access. It can also be filled out on the app under the District page > Forms > CHSD App: Rooms Request Form.

Once we set up your account, we’ll email you an invitation to Rooms (the email comes from EduRooms). Just click on the link in that email to complete your account setup. From there, you’re good to go and you can log in to the Rooms portal in the CHSD Warriors app!

If you're having login issues or trouble with your account, just fill out the form and we'll reach out to help!

Let's show our Chippewa Hills Middle School Staff some appreciation! This form will be linked every week along with a couple shout-outs as they come in.
