ACAP Summative Testing Continues at CMS This Week
- April 12 and April 14: 5th Grade Testing
- April 12 - April 14: 6th Grade Testing
- April 18 and April 20: 7th Grade Testing
- April 18 - April 20: 8th Grade Testing
- April 25 - April 28: Make-Up Testing
CMS Families, it is very important that your student is at school on his or her testing date. Please help us complete the state testing by having your student at school during the testing period and on time for school each day. Testing is all online. Your student will need to charge his/her Chromebook each night before the scheduled tests AND bring it and the charger to school the day of testing.
Your student will be provided all supplemental resources (headphones, reference sheets, calculators - where applicable - and reference sheets). Your student may bring a book to read once he or she has completed the assessment each session. Your student may not have any digital device in the testing room (cell phone, Apple Watch, internet accessible devices, etc.) other than the Chromebook. If you have any questions about state testing, please contact the school. Thank you so much for your assistance!
Re-Considering the Free and Reduced Lunch Application
The Washington Post discusses the changes ahead in a recent article that can be found at this link:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2022/03/07/school-nutrition-program-covid-waivers/
We are placing the link for free and reduced lunches for the 2021-2022 school year below. Why? Many families may have chosen not to complete the form because they were aware the breakfast and lunch programs would be free to their students this year. As we approach the new year, if your student has been eligible before , but you did not complete the form this year, it has been recommended that you do it now. Your student will be in a must pay status until the new application is completed, reviewed, and approved in the fall. If you are approved during this school year, you will have a 30-day "grace period" once the school year opens that would cover your child/children.
In addition, families who believe they may not have qualified pre-pandemic are also encouraged to apply. So many things have changed in the past two years. It is important to assure that your child has access to healthy and nutritious food daily during each school day. The application process is secure and confidential. If you have already completed the link for this year, you do not have to re-apply. You will only need to re-apply when the registration portal opens for the next school year. Also, if you are directly certified, you will not have to apply. The link is below, thank you for your consideration!
