Missed ordering your student’s photos from August 20th? Good news—there is still time! You can order online at mydorian.com. Free school delivery has ended, but you can still have your photo package shipped directly to your home for a small delivery fee.

Need a Retake? If your student missed photo day or needs a retake, Makeup Photo Day is October 21st during lunch periods.

Per district policy, all Douglas County schools will observe a late start every Friday.

For Cresthill Middle School, doors will open for students at 7:45 AM. The first bell rings at 8:10 AM, and the tardy bell rings at 8:15 AM. Given ongoing traffic delays around campus, we strongly encourage families to plan for an early arrival so students have plenty of time to reach class on time.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Hello CMS Parents/Gaurdians,

Does your student want to get involved and be a leader at CMS? They can find the Student Council application Google Form through their student email. If it is not in their inbox, check their spam folder. Hard copies are also available outside of Ms. Jensen’s and Mrs. Marshall’s classrooms.

All applications must be submitted by 3:00 PM on Wednesday, August 26th. Paper copies should be turned in directly to Ms. Jensen or Mrs. Marshall.

Thank you,

Karisa Jensen and Jenna Marshall
