Also, your child may leave with you at the end of the day, but you must sign them out with a teacher from their homeroom team. We are excited to get to know everyone better and to just enjoy a day with our CHMS family!
Our Veteran's program will be Friday, Nov 8th at 8:15am for 5th-8th in the 7/8 Campus Gym. Due to the size of our school only veterans attending our service will be recognized.
