Activity Passes

Parents/Guardians

For the remainder of the 2026/2027 school year, we are offering FREE admission for all PreK-12th grade students for home athletic events. Students in PreK-6th grade must be accompanied by an adult to receive free admission. Please note that this does not include the MS/HS Variety Show or Musical. If you already purchased activity passes for your students for this school year, you can request to have that money either reimbursed or transferred to your student(s) lunch account. Please contact Kim Hinton @ khinton@cmspartans if you would like to do either.

Veteran's Day

Our High School Student Council is looking for local veterans to join us on Veterans Day for a special question-and-answer session with small groups of students.

This is a wonderful opportunity to share your experiences, tell your story, and help our students better understand the meaning of service, sacrifice, and patriotism. We are grateful for the men and women who have served our country, and we would love to give our students the chance to learn directly from you!

If you are a veteran who would be willing to participate, or if you know someone who might be interested, please reach out to Ms. Staudt! We would appreciate your help in making this a meaningful experience for our students.

Thank you to all who have served and continue to serve our country!

Student Sick Protocol

Parents: If your student is not feeling well, the protocol is they MUST either go to the nurse or the office. We will evaluate them and then call you if we determine they need to leave. They CANNOT just text or call you.

Handbook Policy states: "If you are feeling sick in school you will need to see the school nurse and/or office secretary first. From there it will be determined if a parent/guardian needs to be notified. It is unnecessary and not following procedures when students call/text their parent/guardian before checking with the school nurse."
