CHIS Student News

Next week is an exciting week, as students will get to take the 2nd Case Benchmark Assessment and the Aimsweb assessments to see how much they have grown this year! Based on conversations with their teachers, all students have set goals and now they get to show off all of their hard work! Students will also get recognized during Friday morning pep rallies if they score at the highest levels, go up an entire level, or increase their scores by at least 20 points! They will also earn points for their House! Please encourage your child to do their best on the upcoming benchmarks and be sure to celebrate their successes with them!

If you approach a door and someone is following you, hold the door. If the door opens by pulling, pull it open, stand to the side, and allow the other person to pass through it first, then you can walk through. If the door opens by pushing, hold the door open after you push through.

Be a good listener.

Enter public buildings quietly.

When you are on a field trip with your class, there will be no talking upon entering a building. You should enter the building quietly so that no one even notices you are there. This rule applies to entering any place where people are gathered, whether it is the movies, a church, a theater, or any other venue.

We had a great turnout at our Polar Express Family Engagement night! Thank you to all the parents/guardians who enjoyed this event!
