PPRA requires that schools provide parents/guardians with advanced notice of student participation, the option to preview the student survey, and the ability for parents/guardians to opt their students out of any surveys that include PPRA protected areas. If you would like to opt your student out of participation in this survey, please email Dr. Morrissey requesting that your student not participate in Georgia Health Survey. To preview questions,

PTA Needs Your Help!
CMS PTA is applying to be a National PTA School of Excellence!
We have survey results and we need 5-10 PTA members to meet and come up with a few initiatives for improvement based on this feedback. We will meet virtually on December 5 at 12 noon to review feedback and set goals for the school year. Then we will meet again in the spring to evaluate our progress. Does this sound like a PTA program you’d really like to help with? Join us! Contact cms.pta.presidents@gmail.com to be invited to the meeting.
