CMS News

The next few weeks will be incredibly busy as we finish the semester on December 19, our Winter Season 1 competitions continue, and our band and choirs perform their concerts. It is an exciting time at CMS. Please encourage your child to continue to work hard all the way to December 19. This is a great time to check their grades with them, look for and complete missing work, etc. Let's finish strong Broncos!!

See you Monday Broncos!

Please see the schedule to the below for 8th Grade Semester Exams. These exams typically assess material from the entire semester and are intended to prepare students for larger exams they may see in high school. This weekend is a great time to ask your child about studying for these exams. I would encourage students to look over notes and vocabulary from the semester.

6th & 7th Graders do NOT take semester exams.
