Another Early Dismissal
Attention Parents of Incoming CMS Siblings:
For All Incoming CMS Siblings:
The NPS District is now conducting all school choice lotteries. Even though your incoming child is a CMS sibling, you will still need to fill out a lottery application. There is one common application for all of the elementary school choice lotteries. When completing your lottery application, you need to check your school choice. There is also a spot on the application for you to indicate that your child is a sibling. Applications will be accepted from March 10 through early April (date TBD). Failure to fill out an application will likely result in the loss of your sibling priority. If you have not yet notified Terry Lakin of your incoming sibling (any grade), please email her at lakint@norwalkps.org. In your email, please include the name of your incoming child, their date of birth, and the name of your current CMS student. After this evening's School Choice Fair at Brookside School this evening (5:30-7:30 pm), we hope to have more information to share with you.
TO RECEIVE SIBLING PRIORITY, BOTH CHILDREN MUST BE ENROLLED IN CMS FOR THE 2022/23 SCHOOL YEAR.
For Parents of Incoming Kindergarten Siblings:
It is time to register your child for kindergarten. You will find complete registration information at: https://norwalkps.org/stepintokindergarten. Please Note: You will need to fill out a form before beginning the registration process. THIS IS NOT THE LOTTERY APPLICATION. The online registration program will automatically assign your child to your neighborhood school. Once your registration is complete and documentation has been dropped off at the NPS Family Center, (One Park Street, Norwalk) your school will be changed to CMS.
Middle School Glow Night
Mrs. Blanco's students share their original fairy tales with Ms. Kim's 5th graders.
Dear CMS Families,
Our dear friend and former CRO (Community Resource Officer) Christopher Holms and his family are in need of support. A serious illness has caused much hardship for his family. Financial and meal donations are being organized. If you are interested in making a donation, please go to:
