- 8th grade science spent time analyzing scenarios to determine force interactions in a system.
- Building-wide celebration of Pi Day! Ask your student about what Pi means and how we use it!

Testing Out in High School
From Dr. Luman Strong, Assistant Principal at CHS:
Greetings parents of a soon-to-be CHS freshman!
Your child has requested to test out of the CHS class “Civics”. The actual test will occur at CHS in early May. I’ve attached the syllabus for this test out. You’ll notice that the content for the test is given as well as a current event assignment which is due on test day.
Please connect with Ms. Laura Lutz (llutz@chelsea.k12.mi.us), social studies department chair, for any questions specific to the test.
I will be communicating to you closer to May as to the exact testing day.
Welcome to CHS and let me know if you have any questions…
ALICE Drills
ALICE Drills have been a yearly occurrence in Chelsea, and most schools statewide, to help prepare students for different internal/external crises. Your student will receive instruction on what to do in case of external or internal threats to the building. As a building, we will drill these scenarios. If you have further questions, please reach out!
SEL Screener
In our continued effort to proactively meet the needs of the whole child, we will be conducting another round of our social-emotional screener for all students. This will be a second opportunity for us to gather data and reflect on how our students are doing. Students in grades 5-12 will be completing the student self screener between 3/16-3/24.
Teachers will be completing the screener for students K-8 in early April. If you opted your child out in the fall, they will remain opted out unless we hear otherwise. Click here for more information on the screener. Please reach out if you have any questions.
