📝 First Week Of School 🍎

Greetings CMS Families!

We are excited to welcome all students tomorrow, August 31, 2026. Tomorrow is an A day and all students should be in their first period class by 8:15 a.m.

Car rider drop-off begins at 8:00 a.m. at the rear of the school near the gymnasium doors.

For the safety of all students, car riders and walkers should not arrive on CMS property before 8:00 a.m., as adult supervision is not available prior to that time. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and supervised arrival for all students.

Please remind your student and support CMS in creating a distraction-free zone. Phones/headphones should be off and put away (locker, purse, drawstring bags) throughout the entire day, including lunch. The office staff will allow phone use and support communication with families if needed.

Please join us at 5:00 p.m. on 9/2 in the gymnasium for our Kick-Off to the 26-27 school year. After a couple remarks from the principal, parents will follow their child's schedule, meet the teachers, and learn about the exciting topics and skills being taught this year! We are excited to see you then.
