February CMS Connects Guides Parents in Helping Students with 2020-2021 Course Selection
In order to assist parents in guiding their students through the process, we will meet with families at our monthly CMS Connects to share forms, go through the selection process (including the online selection) and answer questions regarding classes, fees, and pathways for the next school year.
Please make every effort to attend this event. Because the competition gym is being used for community league basketball, this CMS Connects evening will be held in the school cafeteria. It will be on Monday, February 3rd at 6:00 PM. This event is only for students who are currently in grades 5, 6, and 7. The 8th grade class will participate in Focus on the Future Night at CHS on Tuesday, February 4th. All 8th grade families are highly encouraged to attend this event. We will conduct an event with the incoming 4th Grade from Bagley later in the school year.

Attendance Matters
We are now into the second semester of the school year where your school attendance is more important than ever! We realize that flu season is upon us. That is why it is essential that you are present every day possible so that when illness hits, your absences do not impact your learning!
Letters continue to go out to the families of those students who have unexcused absences, as well as those describing the referral process to the Jefferson County Family Court's Early Warning process for those who fall into the at-risk column. Families, please have your students at school at school and on-time each day!
