RCSD is committed to providing quality education to its students. In an effort to achieve this goal, school staff or parents/guardians may refer students for counseling, or students may request counseling. The aim of the school counseling services is to help students have more effective education and socialization within the school community. Possible counseling topics are coping with changes, transition, self-esteem, friendship and relationship issues, study skills, stress management, fears or worries, academic progress, conflict resolution, social skills, adjustment to school or culture, etc. These services are available at no cost. RCSD school counselors offer short‐term individual counseling to students, as well as small group counseling. If you would like more information about counseling services available on our site, please contact your student's school counselor.

Chilton Core Values
Chilton's April Core Value is PERSEVERANCE.
At Chilton:
We see challenges as stepping-stones not roadblocks. We respond to challenging learning through persistence and enthusiasm, knowing that when we struggle through something, we end up growing. Approaching work with this mindset encourages our school community to focus on continuous improvement regardless of where we begin.
Talk with your child about what PERSEVERANCE means to your family!

Cultural Fun Fact
Eid al-Fitr, Arabic for 'Festival of Breaking Fast' is the "first of two canonical festivals of Islam. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting, and is celebrated during the first three days of Shawwāl, the 10th month of the Islamic calendar (though the Muslim use of a lunar calendar means that it may fall in any season of the year). As in Islam’s other holy festival, Eid al-Adha, it is distinguished by the performance of communal prayer (ṣalāt) at daybreak on its first day. Eid al-Fitr is a time of official receptions and private visits, when friends greet one another, presents are given, new clothes are worn, and the graves of relatives are visited." - Britannica Encyclopedia

Student IDs
Every Chilton student was given an ID card when they had their school pictures taken. This ID card is used to check-out library books, scan for school lunch, and other school functions. All students should bring their ID with them to school everyday. If a student lost their ID, they can purchase a replacement ID for a discounted price of $1 in the office by speaking with Mrs. McCall.
If a student forgets their ID, they CAN still get lunch. However, they will be sent to the back of the line. This is because they can no longer type in their number and our lunch ladies have to type it in for them. As a result, it takes longer. But not to worry! There is still PLENTY of food left for them and multiple options, and our line finishes within the first 10 minutes of lunch.

Parent Student Handbook 2023-2024
Here is the 2023-24 Student-Parent Handbook. Please read this over with your student(s) to learn the policies and procedures for Chilton Middle School. Each student will receive a hard copy of the handbook with a daily planner built in for students to use to write down important dates and to stay organized with their classwork.
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.
Please be reminded that our upcoming vacation days for Trimester 3 are:
- Monday, April 1st (Teacher Workday - No School)
- Monday, May 27th (Memorial Day)
Please try and schedule appointments on non-school days and after school. If your child will be absent for an extended period, please visit our district website or contact the school's front office to set up a short-term independent study contract. Reporting Absences
There are many ways to report your student's absence and it is important that you report it to us as soon as possible. We wanted to highlight the different options:
- Call - Chilton Office (916) 771-1875
- Google Form - Fill out the Chilton - Student Online Absence Reporting
- Email - ChiltonAttendance@rcsdk8.org
Traffic Reminders
- Please follow all traffic and parking laws on and around our school to help safeguard our students.
- Please do not park in front of other's driveways, garages, or designated no parking areas around the campus (including the bus loop) and surrounding neighborhood.
- Please make sure to obey instructions from the Crossing Guards (California Vehicle Code 2815).
Please no parking in the middle of the parking lot. This causes traffic back ups and doesn't allow others to pull out of their parking spots safely and efficiently.
Deliveries, Food Drop-offs, and Messages to Students
Parents are NOT PERMITTED to bring in or drop off any food or drink (including water bottles). This includes food delivery services. Lunches are offered for free, so any forgotten lunch can be supplemented by cafeteria offerings. We also have multiple water fountains in classrooms and around campus for students to use.
