Dear Parents/Guardians:

Lock Down Drill

Chadron Middle School will run a lock down drill on March 13^th at 9:30 a.m.  Please do not pick up students during this time as no one will be allowed to leave and enter the building.

Read Across America Day/Dr. Seuss B-Day

On March 2^nd, students from Miss Dobry’s and Mrs. Waugh’s 2^nd period reading classes read Dr. Seuss classics to children at the Child Development Center, Chadron Primary School, and 4^th graders at Chadron Intermediate School.  This was a great opportunity for our middle school students to be positive role models to the younger kids in the community and it was a lot of fun.  Check out pictures at Mr. Dressel’s blog page: http://mrdressel.blogspot.com.

National History Day State Qualifiers:

On February 24^th, thirteen 7^th and 8^th grade CMS students had their NHD projects qualify for the State competition, which will be held in Lincoln, NE on April 21^st.  Pictures of some of the projects and links to the websites that qualified for State are posted on Mr. Dressel’s blog page: http://mrdressel.blogspot.com.

NeSA Testing:

Chadron Middle School students will begin NeSA testing on March 26^th.  It is very important that all of our students are in school during the testing window to ensure that we don’t have to pull them from their regular classes to make up the tests that they missed.  Thank you for your support.
