CMS Weekly Update:
December 22th 2022
Disability Awareness Day at CMS
Inspired by Peyton’s story, the 8th graders have been researching various disabilities and how we can support people with disabilities. In an effort to share their learned knowledge with the school community, the students shared their projects with students in grades 7, 6, and 5 in small groups. The goal of this project is to bring awareness and knowledge to our school community in hopes of better support and including everybody regardless of abilities

Christmas is For Kids
There's no surprise that when tasked with the goal of supporting its community members Coelho delivers! Because of the support from staff and families, we were able to provide gifts for 8 families and 25 children! Whether it was a winter coat, a game, a clothing item, or a book, because of our community's contributions, each family had their wish lists met.
We are so lucky to have the staff and families we do, who go above and beyond for one another, and we truly are a community within a community.
Parents: Action Needed for Communication
APS is currently updating the mobile phone numbers on record so that we can send school cancellations and other urgent notices via text message. We ask that you update your contact information in Aspen using the workflow directions listed here: https://5il.co/1ldxt
If you have multiple students, please complete the workflow for each one. Families who wish to have their child(ren) receive text messaging from the district/school, should provide student cell phone number(s) through this workflow as well.
