Introducing Website Wednesdays! We’re making lots of improvements on our Chippewa Hills website and within our CHSD Warriors app. Every Wednesday, we’ll showcase some of the new features on our website and show you where you can find valuable District information both online and in the district app. This week, let’s talk about Rooms! Parents, have you joined Rooms yet? Rooms is a new feature in the CHSD Warriors app that allows parents and guardians to stay up to date with classroom announcements and message with your student’s teachers. If you have not received your invitation to join Rooms, or if you’re having trouble with your Rooms account, you can fill out the Rooms Request Form on our website or in the app. The direct link to the form is: https://www.chsd.us/forms/chsd-app-rooms-request-form The form can be found on our website from the District home page under District > CHSD Warriors App > Rooms Access. It can also be filled out on the app under the District page > Forms > CHSD App: Rooms Request Form. Once we set up your account, we’ll email you an invitation to Rooms (the email comes from EduRooms). Just click on the link in that email to complete your account setup. From there, you’re good to go and you can log in to the Rooms portal in the CHSD Warriors app! If you're having login issues or trouble with your account, just fill out the form and we'll reach out to help!
