Opportunities for Students to Turn in Late/Missing Work
Parents,
Late and missing work is a topic that schools deal with on a daily basis and trying to find a balance between compassion and teaching personal responsibility can be difficult. I want to take a moment to list what Chadron Middle School is doing to provide our students with opportunities to turn in late and missing work for credit, while providing clear guidelines to help teach personal responsibility.

National History Day projects were due today and the CMS library has turned into an archive of historical events and people.
