Are your kiddos wondering what’s on the lunch menu today? We’ve got you covered. Just pull up the school’s lunch menu right in the CHSD app to see what’s cookin! Our school’s daily lunch menu is easily found in the district app under the Dining section for each building. Today’s menu will automatically be featured, but you can scroll through the dates to see the meals planned for the rest of the month.

Here are this year's Celebrity Pumpkin entries!

Happy Halloween from all the staff at Barryton Elementary!

Miss McCallister's class has been working on place value over the last two weeks. They put a Halloween spin on it today by rolling dice for our three-digit numbers. Then, they created place value skeletons.

Mrs. Homant's 3rd Grade class did an exciting dinosaur measurement activity in the gym earlier this week. They measured the steps of dinosaurs and compared them to their steps.

Just a couple of reminders...All celebrity pumpkins are due back Halloween morning. Good luck to all! Also our Halloween parade is at 2:30. Happy Halloween everyone!

Get those PJs ready! Barryton Elementary is having a pajama day Friday!

Have you received our text message tests? All Chippewa Hills parents and guardians with a valid cell phone number should receive the text messages from the district. We’ve done 3 tests with text messages during our initial roll-out in October. If you are still not receiving our text messages, we’ve outlined a few troubleshooting tips to help ensure messages are being delivered to you. You can view the troubleshooting tips on our website here: https://www.chsd.us/o/chsd/page/text-troubleshooting Text troubleshooting can also be accessed through the CHSD app by going to the Documents tab under the District page.

Did you get the text? Our second test for text message alerts went out at noon today. Parents, if you did NOT receive the text, please update your cell phone information by calling your child’s school or filling out this form: https://chsd.us/forms/text-alerts-parent-cell-phone-information. We have one more test scheduled for next Wednesday, October 30 at 12 PM. This allows all our Warrior families time to update their cell phone information with the school if needed. After our October rollout, text message alerts will only be used for urgent communications like school closures and delays, power outages, emergency cancellations, building lockdowns, etc. If you want to be ensure you're able to receive district texts, please update your cell phone number with the school by Tuesday, October 29 so you can receive the final test message on October 30.
