Principal's Message
The winter weather has provided it's challenges the last few weeks but I am grateful we are able to stay connected through our virtual platform to continue to provide instruction and to keep moving forward. I want to take a moment to thank all of you for your support and partnership. This year has had it's challenges but with families like ours at CSMA we have seen progress and continue to keep everyone healthy and well while in school. The students and staff at CSMA are doing an amazing job following the guidelines so we can keep our doors open.
Please remember, if you have been exposed to COVID-19, or someone in your household tests positive, there are quarantine guidelines that must be followed. Please contact the office to report a COVID case/exposure. If you have questions, or need guidance, please contact Nurse Teri (203-275-4256) or Nurse Bristhole (203-275-4204).
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to call us at either CSMA locations:

Yours in partnership,

Black History Month
We will be celebrating Black History Month in many different ways throughout each building, in our classrooms, and during morning announcements.
Each morning we will share from a book that takes a bold journey through the alphabet of Black History and culture. We will read it during morning announcements, and for those that are remote learning, we will also share via email and Kaizala.
If you haven't signed up for our school-wide Kaizala page, please click link: CSMA Kaizala
