Notes from the CMS Principal
January 7, 2022
Message from Mrs. P
Welcome Back! I hope everyone enjoyed the holiday recess and found time to relax with their loved ones.
I love the New Year. It is a way for us all to hit reset. We have already accomplished so much in the first half of the school year. As we move forward, CMS administration continues to be committed to building strong relationships with our CMS families. Please continue to reach out with questions as they arise. We are here to work with you.
For updates about COVID please see the most recent communication from Superintendent Bills.
As always, thank you for your continued support. Stay safe and healthy!
Better Together,
Mrs. P
Spreading Holiday Cheer!
Who doesn't love a Santa Hat!

We are looking for parents/guardians/caregivers interested in bringing positivity and problem solving to our group. We will meet on the second Tuesday each month beginning in February, with the exception of May. May's meeting will be on May 23.

CMS Updated Schedules:
We were able to make some adjustments to allow for parent drop off to begin at 7:30 a.m. Students should report to the cafeteria and remain there until 7:35 a.m. at which time they can move to their homerooms. If they are getting breakfast they can do so at 7:35 a.m. and stay in the cafeteria to eat. Students will get off their buses at 7:35 a.m. If they are eating breakfast they should grab their breakfast and eat in the cafeteria. When they are done they should move to their homerooms.
