Colts Chronicle provides information to parents, students, staff, and community.
Principal Notes:
Dear Cimarron Familes,
It has been an exciting honor to welcome all of our new and returning students to Cimarron for the 2017-18 school year! We would also like to extend a warm Cimarron welcome to all of our new students and families from around the country and state who have joined our Cimarron community! Thank you to everyone who was able to attend our Back to School Event On August 7. This was a great opportunity for us to come together with the shared goal of student growth and achievement.
Students and staff have had a great time getting to know each other as they build the relationships necessary for a successful year. Our theme at Cimarron this year is Brick by Brick- Building futures since 2008. Cimarron has been providing meaningful, learner-centered opportunities for our students over the past ten years. This year we plan to continue this tradition as we celebrate our 10th anniversary!
In the upcoming weeks Cimarron will be taking part in magazine sales ! By participating, you can help us continue our tradition of excellence in meeting the needs of every student! This fundraiser will begin with an assembly. There will also be prizes for students and teams along the way! Please watch our website, email communication and Facebook page for more information regarding this great opportunity to support our students!
Thank you for a great start to the school year!
Chris Zimmerman
