August 7, 2020
Good evening Colts,
I hope you have had a great week. This coming Thursday, August 13th from 3:30 - 5:30pm, we will have an opportunity for families to drive through the CMS parking lot and pick up supplies and various materials for the upcoming year. We will have stations set up around our main parking lot to efficiently move you through the pickup process. We are asking all families to stay on the right hand side as you wait for any specific station. The left lane should be used for safely passing any stations that do not apply to your student(s). It will help the process if you have your student's name(s) and grade(s) displayed in your windshield. Please see the flyer in the body of the newsletter for more station information. Enjoy your weekend ahead!

Registering for the 2020-2021 School Year
Registering for the 2020-2021 School Year
As we quickly approach the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year, there are still some families that have not completed Skyward registration. If the District does not have a completed registration for your student, we will begin contacting families over the course of the next several days to discuss your plans for the upcoming school year and assist with the registration process if needed. If you have any questions or need to register your student, please reach out to our campus data secretary.
School Vaccination Rules
School vaccination rules are in effect for the 2020-2021 school year. Students should be up-to-date, in the process of receiving vaccines, or have a valid exemption on file when school starts in the fall. For a list of vaccine requirements for K-12, and Pre-K, go to the Texas School webpage. For a list of providers who offer low-cost vaccines, go to the Texas Vaccines for Children Provider Locator webpage.
School vaccination rules are in effect regardless of whether the education is received via virtual learning or on campus.
