Good Evening, Cuda Families!
Welcome back! We had a fantastic first week after winter break, and it was wonderful to see our students’ smiling faces as they jumped back into learning with enthusiasm. Our basketball teams kicked off the new semester with competitive games against Kaffie MS—great job, Cudas!
A special shout-out to our talented band students who auditioned for Region Band. We’re thrilled to share that 21 students earned a spot, and Grant MS had the most Region Band members among all CCISD schools! Congratulations to these outstanding students and their dedicated band director, Mrs. Morales. We are so proud of your hard work and success!
MAP/Screener Testing – Math, Science, RLA, and Spanish
Over the next two weeks, all students district-wide will participate in mid-year screener testing. Like the beginning-of-year assessments, these tests provide valuable data to guide teachers in tailoring instruction and meeting the unique needs of each student.
We will follow a block schedule from Monday through Thursday this week, with classes extended to 100 minutes to allow ample time for testing in one session. Students who are absent will be scheduled for make-up testing by next Friday.
To help create a productive testing environment, please ensure your child arrives at school by 8:45 a.m. every day this week. Your support in getting students to school on time is greatly appreciated!
Summer School and Saturday School
Please take a moment to review your child’s report card on the Home Access Center. Students who failed the first semester are at risk of attending summer school. Additionally, students with an attendance rate below 80% and/or who failed a class will be invited to remaining Saturday School sessions. These sessions are crucial for making up attendance and improving grades to pass for the year. Your partnership is vital to your child’s success. Thank you for your attention and continued support as we work together to ensure a strong academic finish this year!
