Cardinal Directions

As stated, we directly teach our expectations to students.  We start out our school year by presenting expectations outlined in our handbook and teach expectations from our School-Wide Matrix.  We continue to focus on teaching expectations throughout the year during Teacher Advisory with our Cardinal Directions curriculum. 

Just Act Right (JAR)

During the 2016-2017 school year we will be focusing on the theme, Just Act Right or JAR.  Our expectations will be directly taught and reinforced using this theme.  Please watch the video below to get an idea of what it means to Just Act Right at Chippewa Falls Middle School!

Stop, Walk and Talk

Stop, Walk and Talk is an approach used at Chippewa Falls Middle School to help decrease the number of occurrences of disrespectful behavior between students.  With this approach, we are focusing on having our students tell others to “Stop” when they are being treated with disrespect, to Walk to an adult to inform him/her of the situation, and to Talk to that adult about what took place.  Please discuss Stop, Walk and Talk with your child to help support the implementation of this approach.

Check-In/Check-Out

The Tier Two intervention Check-In/Check-Out (CICO) was implemented in November of the 2012 school year at CFMS.  Students on this intervention receive a Daily Progress Report (DPR) each morning when they arrive and get feedback from their teachers over the course of each day.  The DPR is based on our school's four expectations.  At the end of the day they return the DPR to their CICO manager.  Data collected is shared with parents and the team of teachers the student works with to evaluate progress.
