Word of the Week
This week's Word of the Week is...PROACTIVE
Proactive people are always looking ahead at future activities, projects, and events and anticipating needs, problems, and possible outcomes. Here are a few ways you can practice being proactive.
- Set goals and have a plan to accomplish those goals.
- Block of time for important tasks and activities.
- Review the results of your plan, tasks, and activities.
- Make adjustments as necessary.
- Maintain the right attitude. Don't see setbacks and failures as final outcomes.
Thomas Edison is credited for saying, "When you have exhausted all possibilities remember this: you haven't."
Information about being proactive taken from www.taylorintime.com
Supply Fee
There is a one-time $25 fee that includes all necessary school supplies and a class t-shirt. In addition to the supply fee, students are asked to bring a backpack, pencils, paper, and a water bottle.
The K-6th $25 supply fee can be paid with your student's Advisory Teacher by cash or check. Or you can pay online now by scanning the QR Code or by visiting https://cabot.revtrak.net/. Click on elementary schools or middle schools, and then select your child’s school.
*Please Note: There is a service fee for paying online. Also, there is no need to type in a teacher name. Schools will fill in this information once it is finalized. You will just need to type in your student’s first and last name and select your child's shirt size.
Chromebooks
Every CMSN student is assigned a Chromebook. If you are a returning student, you should have taken your Chromebook home with you over the summer. Students will need to bring their assigned Chromebooks to class with them every day. The devices will be used regularly throughout the school week. It is highly encouraged to store your Chromebook in a protective carrying case, although it is not required to purchase one.
New students will receive their Chromebooks the first few days of school. 5th graders will be issued new Chromebooks this year and will need to exchange their old device for a new one. There is a possibility you could be charged for the device if it is not returned.
Car Rider Procedures
Morning Drop Off
Drop off is 1 lane. Merge into one lane as you pass the front of the building. Use the lane closest to the building.
Do not drop off students at the main entrance to the building. Follow the car line around the side of the building.
Pull as far forward as possible when dropping off your student. This allows more students to exit cars and speeds up the drop off line.
Students can be dropped off under the awning and will enter the courtyard through the gate.
Drivers will continue in 1 lane to exit campus. At the exit, there are 2 lanes for entering Lincoln Street.
Afternoon Pick Up
Pick up is 2 lanes.
Present your student’s name card to the caller as you move forward.
Students will listen for their name and go to the number called with their name.
Cars will pull forward to the number called. (#1 is at the end of the awning. #12 is where the awning begins.)
Students will wait until the vehicle comes to a complete stop at their number to load their car.
Drivers will be directed to merge into 1 exit lane. At the exit, there are 2 lanes for entering Lincoln Street.
