Take the Climate Survey Before 2/24!

Please complete our annual CSCI climate survey for CHMS this year. This only takes 15-20 minutes, and it directly impacts our school’s rating.  Our goal is to have at least 40% of families participate.  If there is a question that does not pertain to you, please SKIP the question!  A ‘neutral’ (3) response is not N/A.

The CSCI Parent/Guardian Survey can be accessed by clicking here until Friday, Feb 24. We appreciate your partnership and willingness to complete the CSCI Parent climate survey this year.


Buy-A-Brick Has Been Extended to 2/27!

There is still time to pave the way to the future by purchasing a 4” x 8” red brick engraved with your child’s or family name, which will be placed at the CHMS entrance.

Purchasing a brick is a great way to leave a lasting legacy at CHMS for your child!

$65 of your purchase is tax deductible! Please save or print a copy of your receipt after purchasing.

Your purchase supports the PTO’s ability to provide special events, speakers, technology, and many other initiatives.

Pricing:
$100 for an Individual or Family Brick
$175 for a Business Brick

Inscriptions are limited to 13 characters per line, including spaces between words, with 3 lines per brick. Your inscription will be centered on the brick.

Bricks, ordered on or before February 27, 2023, will be installed before the end of the 2022/23 school year.

PTO General Meeting, Tuesday, February 28 @ 7pm

Our 2nd PTO general meeting of the 2022-23 year will take place on Tuesday, February 28th at 7pm in the CHMS MRC.

Hope to see you there!
