- Parents will be receiving a hard copy of our classroom fee letter in Friday Folders today. MCS Intermediate classroom fees are $50. (For your convenience the fee letter is attached to this newsletter as well.) Payment options include sending cash or check to your student's homeroom teacher (along with the fee letter) or through SchoolCash Online. In order to make a fee payment online, go to https://www.maryville-schools.org/parentsstudents/online-payments and register.
- Transportation Changes during the Day -Please plan ahead and make sure your student knows transportation plans each afternoon. If you need to change your student's transportation during the school day, please directly email your student's homeroom & sixth period teachers of the change. It is important that we limit mid-day changes in order to preserve instructional time and to make sure they are focused on teaching. We can't ensure this information will get to your student by the end of the day since our teachers are instructing the students. In an extenuating circumstance, please call our main office.
- Early Checkout - At the end of each school day, the latest a parent or guardian can check out a student is 2:25 pm. Please make sure you are at the school prior 2:25 pm so we are able to accommodate this request.
- Lobbyguard is in use at CGIS so make sure you bring your drivers license with you since security and the safety of our students is a priority at CGIS.
- Check out more important information in our student handbook! https://cgis.maryville-schools.org/parents-students/student-handbook

THIS MONTH"S LEADWORTHY CHARACTER TRAIT IS EMPATHY.

Dr. Best's Launch into the weekend
Our students are shining brightly and we are getting into the groove of our new school year together. Let's continue to build our connectedness this year. Continue to encourage your children/our students to share their needs and any issues that might occur with our staff. We want to know.
Our theme this year is "shine" and I'm providing Shine Challenges to staff and students each week. Next week's shine challenge for you, as parents and guardians, to engage with us through our Show Up Nights next week. Our grade level teams will be sending out more specific communications for each event. We are excited about the opportunity to host our students and parents to learn expectations and strengthen our partnership.
Grateful for your partnership,
Dr. Best
