Mrs. Marangon's Message:
Please take a moment to make sure your child has extra masks in their bag. The masks often break or drop on the ground during the day and students then require a new one.
Thanks in advance for helping us to keep everyone healthy and safe!
Have a great weekend!
Congratulations to the 50/50 winner from Back to School Night Anila Mukherjee!

Delayed Opening Schedule:
10:50-3:50
Bus pick up times are two hours later than normal.

If you arrive after 3:20, your student will be dismissed at 3:50 at the regular Parent Pick Up Door.
We can not longer accommodate pick ups between 3:20- 3:50 because it is delaying our dismissal process.
Afternoon Pick Up Reminders:
- If your child is a pick up EVERY DAY please send one note in to alert the office.
- Please call the office or send a note if you are picking up your child early.
- When parking for Parent Pick Up, do not park in bus lanes. Please park around the outer edge or in a designated spot.
If you need to pick up your child earlier than the regular dismissal time, you MUST be at the office prior to 3:20. We can not longer accommodate pick ups between 3:20- 3:50 because it is delaying our dismissal process

CMS ROOM PARENT VOLUNTEERS
Dear Parent/Guardian:
Thinking about volunteering to be a room parent for your child’s classroom this year? This program is a great bridge between home and school. You will have the opportunity to develop a good relationship with your child’s teacher and attend school functions. CMS classes will be allowed ONE room parent per class.
A room parent coordinates with class families and the teachers to help provide THREE fun parties during the school year.
Here are just a few ways a room parent can help out:
- Plan 3 parties/activities for Halloween, Winter and End of Year!
- Develop a parent contact list and send out emails to keep families up to date on Classroom/CMS needs
- Coordinate food and supplies for classroom parties.
- Organize teacher appreciation gifts
Once a parent for each class has been identified, we will hold a virtual meeting to go over guidelines and answer questions. Please note, if you have more than one child in the school, you would only be allowed to be the room parent for one class. In order to save on costs and be environmentally friendly, all communications going forward will be electronic. A valid email address is necessary in order to be a Room Parent.
*Updated Covid Guidelines*
Dr. Zywicki will be updating the community shortly on the vaccine guidelines for Room Parents and SCA Board Members.
Forms went home this week! Please return your form to school or email cmsscax@gmail.com by September 27
School Lunches
Until further notice, breakfast and lunch will be free to all students.
There is no ordering online, teachers will take lunch orders from students in class each morning.
Any questions or concerns please contact Tony Kowalak at anthony.kowalak@motsd.org or 973-691-4006 x5701.
