CMS Student Assessment Folder Coming Home on Monday, October 18th
- 5th Grade - Yellow Folders
- 6th Grade - Green Folders
- 7th Grade - Gray Folders
- 8th Grade - Pink Folders
Each folder will contain one or more of the following pieces of information about the student's academic progress:
- First Quarter CMS Report Card (Delayed by district from October 14th)
- Alabama Comprehensive Assessment Program (ACAP) Home Report for State Assessment Given in the Spring of 2021 / Will Be Either the Summative or Alternate Home Report
- iReady Family Report for Student for Math and Reading Given in Fall 2021 (Two Pages)
- 211 Student and Family Assistance Information Card
It is important to remember that your student's report card is for the FIRST QUARTER only. Should you have any questions about your student's grades, please feel free to contact his/her teachers by email or by calling the school at 205-379-3230. You can still check your student's grades daily by logging into the Power School Parent Portal. It is important to monitor your student's progress regularly as he/she progresses through each quarter of the school year.
If your student is missing an ACAP report, it is because . . .
- The student's family opted out of the spring test due to COVID-19 circumstances.
- The student is a transfer into Corner Middle School from another Alabama school and that school has not forwarded test results to CMS.
- The student is a transfer into Corner Middle School from outside of the state of Alabama and did not take the ACAP in the spring of 2021.
If your student is missing an iReady report, it is because . . .
- Your student did not take iReady as a result of a recent transfer into CMS, a home school situation, or some other reason.
- Your student has not finished his / her iReady fall assessment due to illness or some other unforseen circumstance.
If your child doesn't bring home this folder and was not absent from school, ask him/her where it is. They will all be distributed. If your student is absent from school, please have him/her come to the office to get the folder upon return to school and bring it to you as soon as possible.
Please look for additional information that will come home this week that help explains the information covered in these reports.
