Save the date! Our Middle School Honor Society is hosting a Veterans Day Celebration on Monday, November 11. All veterans and active-duty military personnel are welcome and encouraged to attend! We’ll begin with a veterans breakfast in the Middle School cafeteria at 9:30 AM. Our assembly program will begin at 10:15 AM with all our Middle School and High School students.
⭐ Middle School and High School students may invite a special veteran to attend and can join their guest for breakfast before the assembly.
For breakfast planning, please RSVP to Candy Recker by calling the Middle School Office at 989-967-2200 or email crecker@chsd.us. Please RSVP by November 7.
⭐ During the ceremony we’ll play a slideshow featuring pictures of veterans and active-duty military from our community or who are special to our students. To submit a picture, please email your photo and a description of the individual (name, military branch, years of service) to Bob O’Neil at roneil@chsd.us by November 4.
⭐ The Mecosta Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution is sponsoring a writing contest for our Middle and High School students. Students are invited to write an essay, poem or letter on the following topic: Reflect on the freedoms you value most and how they are protected by veterans’ sacrifices.
The first-place winner will receive a $100 cash prize and second-place will receive $50. Both winners will be invited to read their essay at the Veterans Day Assembly. Entries are due to the Middle or High School offices by noon on November 4.
We hope you’ll join us for this special celebration as we honor who served!

The Middle School and High School complex was placed under a brief lockdown this afternoon out of an abundance of caution due to a student discipline issue.
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!
Chippewa Middle School now has a parent group! More info coming soon!
