This weekend Chillicothe Middle School received notice of 3 additional positive student cases and 1 positive staff member. Due to the additional number of students and staff being quarantined, CMS will be starting 100% virtual learning on Monday, September 21, and will remain virtual learning for 2 weeks. During this time students will be expected to login to their classes via google classroom. If you have technology issues pertaining to wifi, please contact the school at 660-646-1916 starting Monday morning.
Additional information pertaining to sports activities and practices will be shared soon.

Due to the amount of positive cases and amount of quarantined students, we are making changes to the CMS Schedule. The changes will start on Monday, September 21.
The days students will be attending school will be based on the PRIMARY PARENT'S LAST NAME, as it is listed in our Student Information System.
Students with PRIMARY PARENTS LAST NAME A-M will attend on Monday and Thursday
Students with PRIMARY PARENTS LAST NAME N-Z will attend on Tuesday and Friday
Thank you for your patience and understanding as we work through this!
