Colts Chronicle
Cimarron Middle School Newsletter - September 2, 2016
Colts Chronicle provides information to parents, students, staff, and community.
Principal Notes:
Dear Cimarron Parents,
It is hard to believe that we are finishing our fourth week of school. Students and staff are starting to get back into the routines of school. I hope your son or daughter has come home and talked about a teacher or other students that they have made a connection.
We have been talking about community and saw the quote above that is thought provoking for both students and parents. Your students have had an EPIC start to the school year and deserve an EPIC weekend! Do something fun and enjoyable with your family to strengthen your value and belief system. Cimarron is truly the best middle school!
With Great Appreciation,
Chris Zimmerman, Principal
Parent Teacher Conferences September 21st and 22nd
Collaboration with our parents is a vital component of student success at Cimarron Middle School. This fall, Cimarron Parent-Teacher Conferences will be held on September 21st & 22nd. More details to follow.
Conference reminders:
Check grades prior to conferences, as conferences will be about the learning experience
Bring your student's schedule.
Conferences are an opportunity for you to come in and meet the teachers to find out how your son/daughter’s learning experience is going.
At the end of five minutes, you may receive contact information from the teacher for follow-up if needed.
Please respect and value other parents’ and teachers’ time.
Computers will be available in the commons to check grades/schedules if needed.
Questions that could be asked to teachers:
How is my student’s learning experience progressing in the classroom?
What are some ways I can support my student’s learning at home?
Be mindful of the collaborative power of parents and teachers working together for the benefit of the student.
Evacuation and Reunification Drill on Wednesday, September 28th
As you know, safety is our number one priority at Cimarron Middle School and in Douglas County School District. With that said, we are constantly monitoring physical safety for all students. This includes Standard Response Protocols (SRP) for Evacuation, Shelter in Place, Lockout and Lockdown. We have successfully completed one evacuation drills so far this school year.The next step is a reunification drill. The first evacuation/reunification drill is scheduled for Wednesday, September 28th beginning at 1:10 PM. This reunification drill does not involve parent pick up. Students will learn about the expectations and their roles in evacuation and reunification through Advisement class lessons prior to the drill. To that end, this drill will last approximately 45 minutes and will be taking place at our regular evacuation locations as well as on the Cimarron football field. This will be a great opportunity for our students and staff to practice the reunification process in a purposeful and organized fashion.We ask that student pick up not occur during this time. If a student is needed between 1:10 -2:00 on Wednesday, September 28th, we ask that pick up occur prior to 1:10 PM. Please let us know if you have any questions regarding the evacuation and reunification drill on Wednesday, September 28th. Thank you for your continued support of student safety at Cimarron Middle School.
Monitoring Student Safety in the Mornings
To assist in keeping Cimarron Middle School a safe place for all, we ask that all students enter the school at the main entrance/front door each day upon arrival at school. Please DO NOT enter the building in the back by mobiles. Thank you for your attention to this important safety matter.
