Smart Watch Policy
Per the Cabot Public Schools Handbook:
This includes Apple watches and android watches.
CMSN is not responsible for damage or loss of any electronic device brought to school by students'.
As a student social wellness reminder; these devices along with social media access are often the root of many bullying and academic issues.
ITS COLD!!!
Cold weather does not always stop us from going outside for recess and wellness. If the temperature or wind chill is 32 degrees or below we will keep students inside. Lots of students are still wearing shorts. We want students to stay safe and healthy. We ask that you send students in pants and with a coat during the winter season.
If your child is in need of a coat or winter clothing please contact the counseling center.
Dress Code Reminders
The Cabot Public Schools Student Handbook states that the following is prohibited:
- Pants with holes more than four inches above the knee with exposed skin or undergarments
Students not in compliance with dress code with receive a reminder for the first offence. Any offense thereafter will result in a call home for a change of clothes.
Drop Off Reminders
We do not have personnel on duty until 7:15. If you allow your child out of the vehicle before that we cannot guarantee supervision. For the safety of our students, please do not let children out of your vehicle until 7:15.
How to keep up When Your Child is Quarantined
Utilize Google Classroom
- Every assignment is posted in Google Classroom.
- Every student logs into this program daily from school so they know their passwords.
- You as the parent can access their Google Classroom using your child's login.
- If your child is saying they don't know their password please contact their teacher or reach out to our registaur. We have that information for you!
- Don't assume that when a student submits an assignment in Google Classroom that they completed it. Always open the submission and check their work.
Check TAC
- Grades are posted in TAC.
- This is where parents can go to see grades.
- Teachers update grades weekly.
- If you need help getting into TAC please contact our registuare
