Seeking New PTA Volunteers

We are beginning to plan for the 2026-2027 school year and have several important roles that need to be filled. To continue offering all our wonderful support for students and staff, we really need new volunteers to step up and get involved. Roles range from seasonal event planning to at-home project management to Board Member positions, including President. If you would like to see how you can get more involved, please fill out this form and we will be in touch!

Volunteer-Crossing Guard

Sign up to help with crossing guard HERE. Volunteers are needed to help students safely cross the street along the safe route on 8th St. and Red Lady Avenue.

Concession Stand Volunteers Needed

We need your help running Booster Club concessions! Volunteering is a fun, easy way to support our teams and connect with other CBCS families. Sign up for a shift and help us keep the snacks (and spirit!) flowing at every home game.

Please email CBSSattendance@gunnisonschools.net if your student will be absent or needs to miss any classes.

Student Release During the School Day

In an effort to alleviate disruptions to classroom learning, if you need to pick up your child during the school day, please do your best to utilize a passing period. We understand that this may not always be possible, but when it is, it really benefits our learning environment. Per the student handbook, middle school students must be signed out from the front office by a guardian. Please also call ahead or email. High school students can sign out from the office on their own with guardian approval (email cbssattendance@gunnisonschools.net or call 970-641-7720). Thanks for your help and support!
