Cartersville Middle School
The Hurricane Watch, April 2021
From the desk of Mr. Gibson
As we enter Spring Break, I would like to take a moment and thank you for your support during this school year. As we return to school on April 12th, please note we will return to our regular schedule with Mondays being a regular school day for all students.
Seven weeks of school remain with five weeks of instruction prior to our yearly administration of the Georgia Milestones assessment. We are excited to be able to offer more of our traditional school events with slight modifications. Please see event details below.
We would like to say congratulations to our soccer teams and tennis teams on a successful season with the girl's and boy's soccer teams both making the region championship game. Boys tennis won the region championship and girls tennis finished as region runner up.
Have a great Spring Break,
Go Canes!
