We had a great 20 Day Attendance Challenge! Thank you so much for making sure your child is at school every day. If they are not in school, they are not getting instruction and get behind. We are around .82% higher than last year which is amazing! We gave away four Evo gift cards, a set of Beats headphones as well as a pair of Airpods. Every student who had 100% attendance for the 20 days were on the VIP list. The VIP list were released a little early to get a Kona ice and a bag of chips! We had almost 500 students with 100% attendance. Below are some charts that show our progress compared to last year.
NOW it's time for another 21 day attendance challenge since our first one was so amazing! See the flyer below. We begin Tuesday, October 1st and will end with an awesome Trunk or Treat on October 31st!
We have launched a FREE Math program called Dreambox. Your child's math teacher should have sent you an email last Monday. This is a GREAT opportunity to fill in the gaps and to get ahead. We will have prizes every two weeks for students and classes. Our library is open every day until 5pm. We would like every student to get on Dreambox nightly. Please take a look at the flyer below for more information. https://play.dreambox.com/login/un8v/ds4q
We received a phone call from one of our bus drivers regarding the traffic in the back of the school during morning and after school drop off. Please remember to take caution when in the back of CMS. The back entrance is for bus drop off only. It is also an entrance for teachers/staff who which to park in the back. If you are going to drop off your students in the back, we ask that you drop them off at the crosswalk on Amberwood loop. This way they can cross and use the sidewalk to walk to the building. Any other drop off is unsafe. The alternative is the front parent drop off area. We appreciate your help with this concern.
Our Talent Show is on the horizon and we are having auditions this week. See the flyer below for more information.
We also have Bring Your Dad to School Day this week and #DADSQUAD next week. We hope to see you soon!
Please take a look at the information below. Most of it is repetitive but it's always good to take a look at what is coming up.
Thank you for your support and please let us know how we can help you.
