Chippewa Hills High School

Text alerts are coming! During the month of October, we will be rolling out text alerts for emergency communications from Chippewa Hills. Text alerts will be used for urgent situations like school closures and delays, power outages, emergency cancellations, and building lockdowns. We will still continue to use all of our other communication methods for emergencies (like the CHSD app, social media, email, radio/TV announcements, etc), and text alerts are simply another tool we’re adding to our arsenal for distributing needed information quickly. Day-to-day updates, reminders, and announcements will continue to be shared via the CHSD app, Rooms, social media, and email. **PARENTS: In order to receive text alerts, it is essential for you to make sure the school has your correct cell phone number on file! You can verify that information by checking your account information in Skyward Family Access or by calling your child’s school office. You can also fill out this form and we will update your cell phone information: https://chsd.us/forms/text-alerts-parent-cell-phone-information TEST MESSAGES: We have scheduled 3 tests for text alerts on the following days/times: • Wednesday, October 16 at 12:00 PM • Wednesday, October 23 at 12:00 PM • Wednesday, October 30 at 12:00 PM If you do NOT receive the first test message on October 16, please update your cell phone information with the school ASAP. Once your cell phone number is updated, you should receive the second and third test messages. We’re scheduling these tests to ensure as many Warrior families as possible are receiving the text alerts and to give parents time to update their contact information if needed. We’re trying to wrap all of this up during October as we prepare for the school closures and delays that will come with the winter weather season ahead. Update your cell phone information today!

Mr. DeWolf’s high school Oceanography students are working on an incredible project to study flood risks in our community! Students are participating in Resilient Waters, a project that studies how climate change may affect flood risks. Resilient Waters is led by a group of professors at Central Michigan University’s School of Engineering and Technology. Using tools developed by these professors, Mr. DeWolf’s students are recording local precipitation data, as well as analyzing soil infiltration and runoff. Students are also participating in site visits to locations along the Chippewa River to conduct flood risk assessments.
