Principal Notes:
Dear Cimarron Parents,
It has been an exciting honor to welcome all of our new and returning staff at Cimarron for the 2016-17 school year! We would also like to extend a warm Cimarron welcome to all of our new students and families from around the country and state who have joined our Cimarron community!
This week our staff has had a great time getting to know each other as we build the relationships necessary for a successful year. Our theme at Cimarron this year is EPIC Journey. Cimarron has a history of providing great opportunities for students through a comprehensive, personalized education program for all . This year we plan to continue this tradition as we take an EPIC Journey of Empowerment, Perseverance, Imagination, and Community building.
On Monday we will open our doors for our students, and look forward to embarking on this journey with them. Please note that your child will receive a schedule once he/she enters the building on Monday. These will be in the commons organized by grade level. Cimarron staff will be available to guide students in picking up their schedules and making sure they arrive to their classes.
Last week we were happy to welcome you at student check-in day, and look forward to greeting you again at Back to School Night. Back to School Night is scheduled for the evening of August 18. This will give Cimarron families an opportunity to walk through their child’s schedule, meet teachers, and get a sense of life in middle school. Please look for more details in the days to come.
The Cimarron FRV App is an exciting fundraiser for our Cimarron learning community sponsored by our PTO! This fundraising app allows supporters of Cimarron to contribute to learning opportunities for students while receiving an array of discounts through electronic coupons. By participating, you can help us continue our tradition of excellence in meeting the needs of every student! The cost is twenty five dollars and half of the monies go to Cimarron. There will also be prizes for students and teams along the way! Please watch our website, email communication and Facebook page for more information regarding this great opportunity to support our students!
Thank you for a great start to the school year!
We look forward to sharing this EPIC Journey of learning with you in 2016- 2017!
Sincerely,
Chris Zimmerman, Principal
