Principal’s Corner
Happy Sunday! I hope everyone is enjoying their holiday weekend. We have made it through our first month of school, working together to positively impact the student's lives in the Chapel Hill Middle School Community. We have all worked diligently to support our opening month of school. Please continue to demonstrate the same effort and resilience for the remainder of the school year.
Lastly, school will be closed on Monday, September 6, 2022 for the Labor Day holiday and will resume on Tuesday, September 6, 2022. Parents, please ensure your scholar has a clear water bottle to access the school water fountains and for health safety.
Warm Regards,
Mrs. Ayana Smith | Principal

2022-2023 Title I Parent and Family Engagement Stakeholder’s Input Survey
Chapel Hill Middle School is a Title I school, and as the parent/guardian of a child attending a Title I school you are an important part of the Title I team. Your input is vital in the planning and implementation of the parental engagement program and activities in our school. The focus of all Title I programs is to help eligible students meet the same high academic achievement standards expected of all children. The following survey is confidential and will be used to assist us with future planning for parental involvement activities and events at our school.
All surveys may be completed online at FY23 DCSD Title I Parent Family Engagement Survey.
We appreciate your feedback and thank you for taking the time to complete this survey.

School Hours and Attendance
As we begin our school year, we must remember that daily attendance will be an integral part of your child's success at CHMS.
Upon returning to school, Middle School hours are from 8:50am-3:50pm. We ask parents to not drop off their child prior 8:15 am due to no supervision. It is the parents responsibility for supervision prior to 8:15 am. Students who are not eating breakfast will need to enter the building near the car rider area. Students who are eating breakfast will enter the building near the baseball field. All students should be at school no later than 8:45 am to ensure that they get to class on time. Students arriving after 8:50 am will need to report to the front office to receive a tardy pass with their parent.
