Online Safety is a Top Priority
Our teachers will send invites to their students for these meetings to ensure privacy and prevent non-students from hacking into those meetings. If you do not feel comfortable with your child joining these types of meetings, please communicate this with your student's Advisory teacher so an alternate method of communication can be established.

Counseling Support through Cabot Public Schools
During this health crisis, many families may be feeling anxious and overwhelmed. For kids, this can be a particularly scary time. There are so many unknowns.Even though we are not together in our buildings, we are still able to and want to stay connected. Our school counselors have been reaching out to our students.
They are able to provide social and emotional support to students during this challenging time. Counselors can also share information, activities, and connect families to community resources during the extended school closure.
For individual assistance, please email one of our fabulous CMSS Counselors: Jana.Terrell@cps.k12.ar.us or Avery.Harriman@cps.k12.ar.us.
