CMS Students Volunteering Their Time at the Senior Center on Wednesday Afternoons...
Dear CMS Families:
We are hitting our stride as we enter into the second week of April. As you are all aware, we started our annual MCAS testing last week. The first week of testing went very well, and students are showing their resiliency and determination as they navigate through the process. There's no doubt that it isn't always easy, but I truly admire the way they all get after it - just like they do everyday in school; I'm very proud of all of them. This week we will finish up Session II of the English Language Arts testing. On a side note, if students are absent on a given day of testing, make-up sessions will take place during the week. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns as we navigate through the process. Wishing everyone a wonderful week.
Sincerely,
Dean W. Packard
Principal
