Mrs. Marangon's Message:
Morning Drop Off Parents:
We need parents to stay in their cars so we can keep the line moving and get the students inside promptly.
Please have your child ready to exit the car as soon as it is your turn.
This means:
- Mask on
- Backpack in lap
If you need to exit the car to help your child, please consider having them take the bus or park in the lot and walk your child to the front door.
Thank you in advance for your cooperation!

CMS Time Schedules
Regular Schedule:

Parent drop off is at 8:40 and pick up starts at 3:40.
Delayed Opening Schedule:
10:50-3:50
Bus pick up times are two hours later than normal.
Parent drop off is at 10:40.
Early Dismissal Schedule:
8:50-1:00
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
Halloween is coming to CMS!
