PARKING LOT SAFETY

Please remember that the parking lot out front IS NOT A DROP-OFF lane!  We are seeing an uptick in parents avoiding the loop and using the parking lot to stop and let their children out or to double park and walk their children to the curb!!!!  This causes major traffic backup in the lot and very serious safety concerns!  

Please remember, the parking lot is ONLY FOR PARKING cars in a parking stall and that is all.  No one should use the parking lot as a drop off lane - THANK YOU!

Lost and Found - OVERFLOWING!
If you know your child has lost a jacket, sweatshirt, lunch bag, water bottle, etc....please come and check out the lost and found!  It is put out in front of the school by the doors to the multipurpose room EVERY Day!

We are getting ready to make our Spring Goodwill trip, and will be sending out all of our lost items to Goodwill after April 12!

5th Grade Cheerleading Tryouts Coming Up!
If you have a 5th grade student who is interested in Cheerleading for Chilton Middle School next school year, tryouts are right around the corner. 

There is an important Parent-Info Night coming up NEXT Monday - April 8th.
