Chapman MS begins our ACAP testing on Tuesday, March 27th. Please assist us by ensuring

• Students are in bed in time to get at least 8 hours of sleep.
• Students eat dinner and breakfast. We will also provide breakfast at school if needed.
• Let each of them know they are awesome and tell them repeatedly to believe in themselves. They have worked hard this year. All they can do now is their best.

On last week, we presented Chapman Middle School's mid-year data review. A copy of the PowerPoint presentation is attached. Please access it at your convenience to review the growth our students have shown from Fall to the mid-year.

Dear Chapman Middle School’s Families,

Attending school has a huge impact on student success. We realize some absences are for health or other reasons. However, a great number of absences can have a negative impact on your student’s success. Your child’s education is important, and it is our desire to have your child present each day school is in session. We realize circumstances arise that prevent attendance; however, the Code of Alabama requires schools to notify parents of their student’s absences.

Parent’s Responsibilities

- Encourage student attendance by taking a positive approach to school and school activities.

- Check frequently with school personnel as to student’s progress.

- Provide written excuse within two days after the student returns to school explaining his/her absence.

- Ask for help when an attendance problem arises with your child.

Student’s Responsibilities

- Regular attendance at school in each class is required.

- A normal participation in school work, such as, being prepared for class, completing assignments, participating in discussion and other involvement as deemed necessary by individual teachers is required.

If your family or your child needs support, please reach out to your child’s school for help.

We look forward to seeing you at school every day. Please let us know how we can best support you and your student so that they can attend school on time every day.

As you have been hearing in the news, students all over the world, including ours, have lost many learning opportunities due to COVID. Now that we are a able to cope with it better, we need to fill the learning gaps to better ensure our students are college and career ready. There is no such thing as magic wands. We need to put in the work.

As such, Chapman MS will be offering after-school tutoring for English and math from 3:15 pm to 4:45 pm on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday. These sessions began Monday, October 10th at Chapman MS. We are trying to recruit students who are interested in preparing to improve their academic knowledge, making them better equipped for entry into colleges and careers. So, we need to hear from you as soon as possible. Applications can be found on Chapman Middle School's website, Twitter and Facebook sites. We also have hard copy applications in our front office.

If you are interested in enrolling your child/children in after-school tutoring, please complete the application and return it to Chapman Middle School's front office. We are all in this together - Chapman Stronger Than You Know!
