A note from principal cline
Dear Charger Family,
We had a great night last night celebrating our midyear graduation at Bojangles. We are extremely proud of our 82 CMVHS midyear graduates. It was a beautiful ceremony and our mid year graduates have gone above and beyond to finish early, exemplifying motivation and a love for learning.
At CMVHS, we are constantly working to better keep you updated and are implementing Remind 101 as a way to communicate with parents and students. Parents, we encourage you to sign up for these messages along with your student so that you can stay up to date with what is happening at CMVHS.
Your help is needed in completing the CMS Family Engagement Survey. In order to complete it, you will need your student’s CMS ID#.
CMS FAMILY ENGAGEMENT SURVEY
CMS is inviting parents/guardians to take the CMS Family Engagement Survey. The survey is open through Feb. 25 and is available in English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Nepali, Burmese and Vietnamese. This feedback is important as the district works to provide the best possible education for students. It also will be used as part of the district’s accreditation review process.
While it is hard to believe, we are excited about planning for next year’s courses with your students. Grade level registration meetings for 22-23 classes kick off next Wednesday!
