Helping Students Make Good Decsions...
From The Principal's Desk...
It's hard to believe that September is in the books. I am happy to say that we are heading in a great direction, and more importantly, we are really gaining some great traction, too. Below I have added a few new items to our announcements. I am anticipating a fast, fun month of learning ahead. Let's keep working together for the benefit of all students. #CMSFamily
Just a reminder: Please check in on the Community Portal to stay current for understanding where your child/children are academically. Teachers are working hard to keep up with grading assignements so you can watch the academic progress. As always, please reach out to our staff or me with any questions or concerns.
Finally, you will find information below about after school clubs. We are excited to begin our first sessions. Our first sessions will begin on Tuesday, October 12th.
Wishing everyone has a great weekend.
Yours in education,
