CMS News

We had a very busy week at CMS! We enjoyed our first Bronco Bash of the year, welcomed families to Parent Teacher Conferences, our Winter 1 Season started with tryouts and first practices, and the 7th & 8th Grade Bands traveled to Covenant Senior Living Facility to perform for the residents.

Thank you for attending Parent Teacher Conferences! Most of our teachers had full schedules all afternoon and evening and that is such a wonderful sign. That means families are involved and interested in their child's success. Families are always welcome at CMS!

We also would like to thank the Coopersville PTO for providing dinner for the teachers on Wednesday night. Their generosity made a long evening much easier. When families support the PTO fundraisers, you directly impact the daily work at CMS!

As we prepare for a successful school year, we need your help with a quick but crucial task: completing the Education Benefits Form. You might be wondering: "If meals are already free for students, why do I still need to fill out this form?" While universal free meal programs ensure our students are nourished every day, the Education Benefits Form is about much more than lunch. It is the primary tool used by the state and federal government to determine how much grant funding our school receives to support student learning and well-being.

Educational Benefits Form

• There will be a la carte items available for sale.

• Students must have cash or money on their food service account to purchase a la carte items.

• Students can bring cash or a check made out to CAPS food service.

• Families can also add money with a credit card (additional fees apply) at: coopersville.family portal.cloud

• Click here for additional information!

The keynote speaker is Shandy Longcore from Embracing Imperfections.
