STAFF FAVORITES

They're located in our CMS Staff Team (!Documents > FILES > STAFF FAVORITES). Feel free to check them out anytime - they're perfect for adding a personal touch and building community.

Selma Sahinovic is key member of the CMS Custodial Team, playing a pivotal role in helping our school achieve the highest building inspection rating in Zone 5 with an impressive score of 97.10%. Her dedication to maintaining a clean and safe environment for students and staff is evident in every detail of her work. Selma’s reliability, attention to detail, and commitment to excellence make her an asset to our school, and this achievement is a direct reflection of her hard work and professionalism.

Building Events: Set up Form

As discussed during our last faculty meeting, all staff members will continue to complete and submit a “Building Event Set-Up Form” for any before, during, or after school activity (example: concert, club, or meeting).
Completed forms must be submitted to Ms. Schroder for approval.
Once approved, the event will be entered into the master calendar and shared with our custodial team.
Approved before-school events may occur Monday through Thursday from 7:45am-8:45am.
Approved after-school events may occur Monday through Thursday, but for cleaning purpose should conclude by 7:45pm.
Please see Eric Casey if you have any questions.
