CTMS MATH & SCIENCE TEAM
If your student is interested in participating with the CTMS Math Science Team this year, please complete the following:
1) Parents, please fill out the parent information form using the following link: https://goo.gl/forms/655ADUEyLAkjaUh93 - We need all returning and new parents to please complete this so we have an updated list for this year.
2) Students, please join the CTMS Math Science Team Google classroom using the code j3xx2i. If you were a member last year you will not need to join the classroom as it is the same classroom from last year.
We will be sending out information to the parents at the end of this week and hope to start practices next week.
Thank you,

PTA REFLECTIONS - THEME CONTEST
The search is on for a future National PTA Reflections theme!
Each state selects five student theme suggestions to advance to national-level judging. National PTA then selects one exceptional theme to inspire creativity for the 2019-2020 PTA Reflections program. The student winner will receive $100 and recognition at the Annual National PTA Convention. Theme Search judges look for a focused and clear theme promoting PTA values that is appropriate for all grades and applicable to all arts categories. Past themes are not considered.
To submit your theme suggestions, click the link below. There is no limit to how many different themes you can enter! Deadline for submissions is November 5.
