This is your first year of middle school!  If you were to look at your current academic record (transcript), you would see a clean sheet of paper.  At this time in your life, you have endless possibilities. So, choose to study.  Choose to DO YOUR BEST and aim to earn “A” and “B” grades.  Choose to get involved in extracurricular activities such as a club or an athletic team.  Choose to make Chula Vista Middle School and your community a better place because you are here!  In return for your hard work, you will find that many doors will open for you.

Ultimately, the opportunities and options will increase because you made the right choices!

We invite you to contact your school counselor via email or visit them during lunch or nutrition break in the Counseling Center, located in the main office.  We are here to support you with anything you need!
