CMS Families,
Teachers should be emailing you but just a gentle reminder that all high school credit classes will have a semester final. Students should be receiving their reviews soon. All other classes are continuing with their work until the end of the semester. They should be working hard to complete all their work so they can pass.
If your child is failing any unit checks or CBA's, we highly encourage them to stay after school to make up their test. If they are failing those assessments, they also need to go in for tutorials as those are benchmarks to make sure they are ready for their STAAR test.
If your child still has not completed summer reading, they will not be allowed to participate in any basketball games, dances or Cougartime until this is completed.
We are 4 days in to our 18 Day Winter Attendance Dash! Please make sure you check our Facebook for daily posts for our challenge. If we meet our school-wide goal of 97% we will have TWO hours of free time! 100% kids will have VIP access, get FREE snacks and get entered into the drawing for Airpod Pros! We will also take the top three highest daily attendance to Gattitown on Friday, December 20th. Attendance Matters!
