SIXTH AND SEVENTH GRADERS
6th and 7th graders received a second course verification sheet. Students have one last time to make the change. Please read instructions on the back of the letter.
You do not have to return the form if changes are not needed. Please remember that this is not a schedule but a listing of the courses. If you need to make a change, please return by Thursday, May 25th to the counseling department.
SEVENTH AND EIGHTH GRADERS
On Monday we met with 7th graders and on Wednesday we met with 8th graders to give a refresher about ACT (Acknowledge, Care, and Tell a Trusted Adult) from the Signs of Suicide Program that students had in September. We also had presenters from Santa Fe Youth talk with the students about choices, goals, and plans for the future and the dangers of drugs and alcohol. This was our final guidance lesson of the school year. We have enjoyed working with the students this year and hope they have gained some take away knowledge throughout the year to support them in their endeavors.
For current CMS students who will not be attending a GCISD school for the 2017-2018 school year, please notify CMS Registrar Shari Vanderwork at shari.vanderwork@gcisd.net.
Please contact the counseling department if you have any questions.
