From The Principal's Desk...
CMS Families,
The first week of March is now in the books and we are ready to keep moving forward. Next week is an extremely busy week as we have multiple events scheduled. Please reach out directly if you have questions pertaining to any of the events. Picture Day(s), Parent Conferences and updated scheduling information can all be found below.
We will dedicate communications next week to be centered on the next transition of our schedules. Information below will give you some visuals to help you understand our next progression. As always, please reach out if you have any questions or concerns. Also, please use the feedback Form below to add in your thoughts.
Along with a new scheduling model on March 15th, we will begin to explore some strategic student movement within our teams. This is also a small step toward getting back to normal. However, rest assured, we will have all safety precautions in place. Click the link below to see additional student movement information.
Wishing everyone a great weekend.
Yours in education,
Dean W. Packard, Principal
