Dear parents and guardians,

We would like to welcome you back for the 2025-2026 school year and hope your summer has gone well and you are excited for the beginning of the new school year. We anticipate an exciting year as we collectively strive to foster a culture of learning and feel extremely fortunate to be working with such an exceptional group of students, families, and staff members.

We look forward to meeting our students in grades 5-8 and their families at our Back to School/Curriculum Overview on Thursday, August 21, anytime between 4:00-5:30pm. Classroom assignments will be posted as well as schedule pick up in the gym and it is a great time to reconnect with former classmates and to make new friends. Please feel free to drop off supplies in your child’s classroom.

School begins on Tuesday, August 26 at 8:05am and classroom assignments again will be posted on campus that morning and schedule pick up in the gym. Our first bell will ring at 7:55am with the second bell at 8:05am to signal the start of the school day. Dismissal will be at 2:40pm. No School on Friday, August 29th or Monday September 1st. The first late start Wednesday is September 3rd at 9:05am.

We invite you to become an active participant in our school community through volunteering, joining our PTO, or attending and supporting school events. Research clearly supports that when parents/guardians participate and are involved in their child’s education, there is a greater likelihood of academic success for the child.

We truly believe that communication is the key to a successful educational experience. Together, we will continue to improve the quality of our school community and provide the best for the children of Chief Middle School. Education is a partnership between the school, students, parents/guardians, and community. All children are more successful when we work as a team to achieve educational goals.

We look forward to continuing our work together as we support the Wolverine community. We hope you enjoy the final days of summer!

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us either by phone or email.
