Message From Mrs. Robertson
Wow!! A lot has happened in the past five weeks since schools were originally closed. The third week of distance learning has been completed, term three has come to an end and fourth term has begun. In order to have reached all of these accomplishments you have overcome challenges that have required patience, perseverance and reflection in many aspects of living in our current situation. These challenges came from many directions and in different forms for each family and will continue to do so in the coming weeks. However, by working together as a CMES family we will build upon these successes.
Congratulations Lions!! You are doing an amazing job!
Yours in Education,
Kimberly Robertson
Principal

We have launched our new CMES: Family Connections YouTube Channel and are so excited to be able to share it with you!! This platform will serve as a way for staff, students and families to connect during distance learning and beyond. The content will help us all feel more connected even though we are physically separated.

Printed Packets - New Procedure
We will have a limited number of paper packets available next week on Monday, April 20, 22 and 24. Pick up times will be between 10-2 each day. You can pick up a packet in the bins located outside the front doors during these times. In order to help keep our staff safe we have moved to this delivery method. Due to guidance from the Maryland State Health Department, we are not accepting completed print materials here at school. We encourage you to take a picture of the completed work or scan the work and send to your child's teacher. During 4th term which began Monday, April 13, teachers will continue to grade student work. Student grades will be calculated as outlined in the FOF that was sent on Friday, April 17 and a letter referencing the grading policy will be included in third term report grades. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us so that we can assist you.
