The Cabot School District has enabled a mobile app to help keep parents/guardians aware of their children’s activity on school-issued devices. This app provides parents with the ability to pause their children’s internet, block specific websites, and schedule internet availability on district-managed Chromebook devices outside of normal school hours.

GoGuardian Parent is a companion to the classroom management and internet filtering tools that your child's school uses for devices issued to students. Through the use of this app, we hope to encourage more open and honest conversations between parents and children that will result in safer practices and responsible browsing habits.

Please click HERE for detailed instructions on how to access the GoGuardian App.

Each week, CMSS will have a Word of the Week. Teachers will use their Advisory time to discuss the word and what it means/looks like at school, home, our community, and around the world.

This week's Word of the Week is....SERVICE.

The word serve has both French and Latin origins. The French word servir means to "do duty toward, show devotion to, or provide with." The Latin word servire means to "be a servant, be in service." By adding the suffix -ice to serve, this changes the meaning to the quality of serving.

Christmas and other holidays lend themselves to serving others. There are usually food drives, coat drives, and other ways to help those in your community. Service can be much more than big events sponsored by non-profit organizations. Try some of these examples below.

• Hold the door open for the person coming in behind you.
• Say please and thank you when requesting something.
• Send a cheerful note to a deployed soldier or the elderly in the Nursing Home. You don't have to know them personally, just a hello means a lot to them.
• Pick up trash you see laying on the ground.
• Lend a helping hand to someone carrying something big or heavy.
• Rake the leaves of a neighbor.

Did you know that you can support CMSS through Box Tops for Education! Box Tops for Education is still going strong and each box top counts as cash for CMSS! Since 1996, General Mills has donated over $913 million to schools just like CMSS.

You can continue to send in your Box Tops with your student OR you can download the Box Top App and choose CMSS at your school. Then, simply scan your grocery receipt and CMSS will be credited for each eligible item you purchased.

Avoid dropping off/picking up your student in the parking lots. This creates traffic that could result in an injury to our students and staff. Parking lots are reserved for those parking and entering the building.

Morning Drop Off

• Drop off is 1 lane. Use the lane closest to the building.
• Please pull as far forward as possible when dropping off your student. This allows more students to exit the cars and speeds up the drop off line.
• Students will enter the building through the front doors.

Afternoon Pick Up

• Pick up is 2 lanes after entering the CMSS driveway. Cars must use the "Merge" lane to create 1 lane of traffic heading toward Kerr Station Road. Panther Trail is a city street and must remain open for through traffic.
• Present your placard to the caller as you approach the beginning of the car line.
• Students will listen for their name and go to the number called with their name.
• Cars will pull up to the number called. (#1 is near the 6th grade hall/closest to the Kerr Station exit/#10 is near the 5th grade hall/closest to the caller).
• Students will wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop to load their car.
