Chadron Property Tax and School Funding Challenges
To support the effort of the Chadron Public Schools' Board of Education and the Office of the Superintendent, I thought I'd share this information. The Chadron School Board has been very active in educating the public as well as political leaders of the challenges in fairly funding schools across the state. The following is a summary of information sent to media outlets recently on behalf of our Superintendent with the support of our School Board.

CMS Students Observe Patriot Day 2015
Last Friday, September 11th, marked the 14th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York, the Pentagon in Washington D.C., and the hijacked United Airlines Flight 93 that crashed in a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania . To honor the men and women that died on that tragic day, 150 of Mrs. Mahr's choir students honored America by singing "The Star Spangled Banner" on the CMS Stage. Thank you, kids for doing such a good job!
5th Grade Fun Night
On Friday, September 11th, 31 CMS 5th graders participated in the annual 5th Grade Fun Night. Students started the night with a scavenger hunt that is designed to help the 5th graders learn their way around the school. During the scavenger hunt, students work in teams of 3 and 4 to find things around the building.

On August 25th, Chadron Middle School celebrated the official grand opening of its new playground with students, parents and friends. Students participated in a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Chadron Chamber of Commerce and then enjoyed hotdogs, chips, and drinks before taking their parents into the school to show them around and meet teachers.
CMS Picture Day on September 1st
Picture day for CMS will be next Tuesday, September 1st. Lifetouch will take pictures again this year of all students and staff. Picture information packets will be provided for students to pick up at the office. Orders can also be placed online. If ordering with a packet, students should bring their completed packet and money on picture day and give it to the photographer.
Recap of First Three Days of School
Well, the first three days of the 2015-16 school year are in the books and I think that we had a great start! The Grab and Go Breakfast was a huge success! We had and average of 49.6% of our student body participate during the first three days, which is fantastic! I hope that the kids enjoyed the opportunity to grab a quick snack and that it helped sustain them during their morning classes.
THANK YOU!!!
Parents,
Thank you for attending the back to school student/parent orientations this week. The turn out at all three meetings was spectacular! I hope that you found the meetings informational and that they helped get you and your child ready for the start of a new school year. I greatly appreciate your flexibility and patience in dealing with all of the venue changes as well as the hot and crowded rooms. If you any questions or concerns, please let me know.

The CMS gym floor is not finished, so we are going to begin the 5th grade orientation in the Primary School gym at 5:30. You can park on the east side of the middle school and enter the Primary School through the east door. There will be a 40-minute informational meeting and then students will pick up their locks and schedules before heading over to the middle school to check things out.
Thank you.

This dress code video was produced by Natron County School District, but it provides a good example of the Chadron's dress code guidelines too. If you have a chance, please watch it. Thank you!
