6th Grade Cotillion
Cotillion invitations were given to all 6th period teachers and passed out in class on Monday, November 28. Your child should have received an invitation and response card. Your child may have it in their backpack or locker if you haven't received it yet. Please mail the response card and payment in the addressed envelope that was included or turn it in to the CMS office. Please DO NOT turn it in to any teachers as they are NOT collecting them.
In case your child has no clue what you're talking about when you ask them about their Cotillion invitation or they can't find it, the invitation and response card are attached below. Please mail your card and payment to Kelly Hall, 701 Green Meadow Street N Colleyville, TX 76034 or return it to the CMS office. You will receive a confirmation email after your payment has been received and recorded. Please remember that space is limited so send your response cards in quickly to ensure that your child gets a spot!
We will need MANY volunteers for Cotillion. A Sign Up Genius link will be sent to parents along with your confirmation email. ONLY parents who have an approved GCISD background check for 2016-17 and have completed the CMS volunteer training are eligible to help with this event. Please make sure you have completed both. If you have questions regarding volunteering, please contact Angie Wallace at mplusaw@att.net.
If you have any questions regarding Cotillion, please contact Sannon Elms at shannonelms@mac.com. Thanks and we are looking forward to a fun event and learning experience for all the kids!
