Lunch Survey For In-Person Students Due Tuesday, 3/23

As we inch closer to the start of the fourth quarter and return to full in-person learning with lunch, we have an update about lunch time procedures and processes.

  • Each student will be eating lunch in a sanitized, individual desk which is at least six feet apart from peers. A survey was already sent to your child(ren) asking their preference of peers to hopefully sit near if possible.

  • A single daily lunch at no charge will be available to all students and a menu will be posted on the D181 CHMS website. No other lunches will be available for purchase.

  • Each student in attendance at CHMS will be assigned a permanent grouping location in the cafeteria or the gym areas for lunch, regardless if they plan to leave for lunch (see below).

  • If you wish to give permission to your student(s) to leave the school building and grounds during their 30 minute  lunch period on any day, you may do so by completing this Lunch Survey by next Tuesday, March 23, 2021 (one survey per child please).If you prefer your child to stay and eat their lunch at school every day, there is no need to fill out the lunch survey.


Ongoing Surveillance Testing Sign-Up (In-Person Students Only)

As we return to full in-person school on Monday, April 5, one of the components that will add another layer of safety for our students and staff is our voluntary surveillance testing program.

As you know, asymptomatic children can spread the virus. Some children do not have symptoms when infected with SARS-CoV-2, and outbreaks occur when the coronavirus spreads silently through the community. Therefore, please consider signing up for testing and taking advantage of our school’s quick and easy collection process. To sign up, simply log in to your Skyward account and click on “Forms.” We hope that this additional layer of safety, along with our other mitigation efforts, will help your child and our entire school community stay safe.

More information on Surveillance Testing can be found on the reopening page here and in the Surveillance Testing Information Booklet. Please note that only students who are currently in-person or will be in-person starting April 5 are eligible to sign up for Surveillance Testing. Thank you.
