Crosswalk Safety
Crosswalk Safety
Lately, we've noticed that multiple students are not using the crosswalks and crossing guards safely outside of school. This includes having students go diagonally through intersections, not waiting for crossing guards to help them cross the street safely, and j-walking. If your student bikes, scooters, or walks to school, please have a discussion with them about the importance of being safe going to and from school.

Language Diversity at Chilton
At Chilton Middle School, we have a variety of home languages spoken other than English. To celebrate our language diversity, we will be hosting a get together for the other major home languages spoken at Chilton throughout the year. Please see the note below for our second language diversity event!
Dear Russian-Speaking Families,
Would your student like to start their day with a sense of community and connection? Join us for a special morning meetup where they can meet fellow students who speak the same home language they do. It's a wonderful opportunity to make new friends, share experiences, and build lasting connections.
Details for the event: Thursday, October 12th at 7:45 AM in Room 602 before school. Snacks will be provided!
Let's make the morning memorable by connecting with others who share our home language. We will be hosting a celebration of a different home language each month. We look forward to seeing you there!
Sincerely,
Ms. Sheefel & Ms. Garcia

Library
Does your student love hanging out in the library? Does your student want to contribute in a positive way to our school? Then have them stop by the library to find out more information about "Adopt-A-Shelf" - a new program started by our fabulous librarian Mrs. Fairbairn. Students will be responsible for keeping one shelf of the library neat and organized, and can also create a display for their shelf. Time helping can go towards your Chilton Honors Society hours. Please see Mrs. Fairbairn during open library hours for more information.
Here are a few reminders from our librarian:
- Do not loan your textbooks/Chromebooks/library books/ or chargers to other students.
- All lost or damaged materials must be paid for. Bills will be mailed home at the end of the school year for all missing textbooks, as well as those that are returned damaged. Please make checks for textbooks payable to Roseville City School District.
- Unpaid fines will remain on your student’s account until all books are returned or fines are paid in full. In addition, students with outstanding fines will not receive their yearbooks at the end of the year, and may not be allowed to participate in year end activities.
PLEASE CONTACT THE CHILTON LIBRARIAN FOR REPLACEMENT COST OF EACH INDIVIDUAL ITEM.

Attendance
Attendance is vital for every child every day as lifelong habits are established in the early school years and contribute to student success throughout their school career and beyond. The best way to keep up with your student's curriculum pacing is to ensure they are in class daily and engaging with peers and their teachers.
