- You may drop off medications or any immunization information.
- Teachers are not required to be in attendance at Open House.
Online Registration and Fees
As in the past, all parents/caregivers will need to register each of their children attending the middle school prior to the start of the school year and pay their registration fee if you haven’t already done so.
The online registration process is required for each student. Completion of the process allows your student access to a number of privileges including field trips, access to the internet, and use of district chromebooks/ipads.
Parents/caregivers will only be able to register their children through the online registration system. This process eliminates the need for families to complete and return paperwork to the schools. Please begin the process by logging into your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. If you need help logging in, click on the "Problems logging in?" link on the login screen. For help with the online process, email our help desk at helpdesk@chipfalls.org and include your phone number, or call our help desk at 715-726-2413 for assistance.
If your student is a member of more than one household, please understand that only one household can complete the online process. See attached image for more details.
The registration fee can also be paid online through the Infinite Campus Portal. You can view fees still owed on the Infinite Campus parent portal or you may call the Business Office at (715) 726-2400 ext. 2214.
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL
Friday, September 1, is the first day of school for ONLY 6th grade students and 8th grade WEB leaders. Seventh graders and the rest of the 8th graders should not attend school on Friday, September 1.
The WEB program helps to transition 6th graders into the middle school. On this day, all 6th graders should enter the building at 8:21 a.m. through Door 4 on the east side of the building (this is next to the new addition). Students should bring NOTHING on this day and wear comfortable clothing and shoes. A regular school lunch is served on this day.
If your child rides the bus to and from school, this will be a great day for them to become familiar with those procedures. We will have extra staff available to assist students in finding their buses.
We are looking forward to having a great WEB day and have wonderful activities planned for our 6th graders! All students will attend on Tuesday, September 5.
On your child's first day of school if they know their first period teacher, we will take it from there - no worries! Schedules can be accessed on Infinite Campus. Printed schedules will be given to all students on the first day of school.

SCHOOL COMMUNICATION
Please make sure that Infinite Campus information is up to date and includes a list of people to contact in case a child needs to be picked up during the school day.
The Chippewa Falls Middle School primarily communicates with parents and/or guardians electronically. All parents and guardians who receive school information electronically must have their parent portal in Infinite Campus set up in order to access report cards, schedules, homework assignments, grades, attendance, fee statements, etc. We are pleased to offer parents this opportunity to be more active in their child’s education.
If you do not have your parent portal account setup, please follow the guidelines below to setup your account. We discourage the use of your child’s account as you won’t have access to the necessary information you may need or want.
Please make sure that your e-mail address is kept current at all times on the parent portal. You may update your email address at any time by selecting Contact Preferences on the parent portal menu. If at any time during the school year you lose the ability to access the internet, please notify the appropriate grade level office immediately so that we can make the necessary adjustments to our database.
You can also make lunch account, registration and athletic fee payments in the Infinite Campus Portal. There will be no convenience fees added. If you need help, call our help desk at 715-726-2413 for assistance.
