The Best Middle School in the Universe!
Volume 13, Number 21 - May 13, 2019
Welcome to the BEST Middle School in the Universe!
This is a big week for our all our kids! We know they will do GREAT! We believe in them and know they will DO THEIR BEST! That's all we ask of them - work hard and do your best! #theygotthis #cmsisthebest#doyourbest #workhard #finishstrong
We are on a different lunch schedule for testing days. Your child should know their testing room for MondayTuesday. Eighth graders will find out their testing room on Tuesday. You are welcome to bring your child lunch, just please try and have it for your child during their lunch time. Breakfast will be free for all students all 4 days. Please encourage your children to get a good nights sleep and eat a good breakfast at home and/or at school. I also wanted to tell you we ask our students to turn OFF their cell phones and let the teachers hold them or place them on OFF in their backpacks. We do not want our students to keep them in their possession for security purposes. We appreciate your help with this matter.
