The Hurricane Watch, March 2023
Hello, CMS Families.
As we move into the fourth and final marking period of the year, seven weeks of school remain prior to our yearly administration of the Georgia Milestones assessment. Please encourage your student to stay focused and be present each day!
We would like to say congratulations to our spring athletic teams! Soccer, Tennis, and Track are performing well and will conclude their seasons over the next month.
The 8th grade dance will be held on Friday, May 5th. This event is for current Cartersville Middle School 8th grade students only! The dress code for this event follows closely to the school dress code. Tickets sales will be announced. The CMS PTC will be hosting Ultimate football on April 14th . The cost is $5 per student and teams will consist of 7 players.
Thank you for continuing to support your student's academic and extracurricular achievements.
Go, Canes!

Notes from the Band Room
The 7th & 8th Grade Symphonic Band will be participating in the annual Georgia Music Educators Association (GMEA) Large Group Performance Evaluations on Wednesday, March 15th at Woodland High School. Our students will perform three stage selections for a panel of state adjudicators, followed by a sightreading evaluation, and receive ratings for their performance.
The CMS Jazz Band "Storm Surge" will be hosting the GMEA District VII Jazz Band Evaluations at Cartersville High School on Tuesday, April 18th where they will welcome middle and high school Jazz Bands from across north Georgia for a day of enjoyable concerts and fellowship with other students who share their passion for great music!
The CMS Symphonic Band has been invited to perform the national anthem at AdventHealth Stadium on Tuesday, May 2nd as the Rome Braves take on the Bowling Green Hot Rods. This is a great honor for our students that does not often get awarded to middle school bands. Please join us in congratulating these students and we invite you to come hear them perform at AdventHealth Stadium on May 2nd!
