CMMS Families,
Happy New Year and Welcome Back!!!
We are looking forward to our building coming alive with students! With that said, please make sure that consistent attendance is always a priority, we need all students at school so they can learn and grow and the expected rate. This month we will STAR test all students in math and reading, this gives us important data to make instructional decisions around.
Family Movie Night - January 16, 2020 @ 6:00 PM
We are excited to have an evening family movie night, our Community Engagement Committee has planned for a great event! Students will be voting on the movie that we will show, there will be popcorn and other concession items available as well. Any chance we get to involve our families and have a safe and fun place for students to be is very important to our team! More information will be sent out when the final movie and other information has been determined.
