5th & 6th Graders Having A Little Fun...
Parents & Guardians:
We had another great week at CMS. As a reminder, Progress Reports became available in the Parent Portal as of last Friday. If you have any issues accessing this portal, please contact my Administrative Assistant, Mrs. Andre at landre@dcrsd.org
Additionally, the 5th & 6th grade students had a wonderful time at our social. There was lots of energy and a lot of fun being had by everyone. A big thank you to Mrs. Dragon, our coordinator of these events, and all of the staff that stayed and volunteered their time to help out. There was no doubt that the students enjoyed their opportunity to have a little fun.
We are going to jump right into another week, and I hope to see you at a concert or a game this week... Go Grizzlies!.
I hope everyone has an amazing week!
