Friday, 2/27: Black History Month Celebration - See below for more details.

There was lots of of good stuff this week, both during and after school. Click here for pics!

Milano Cortina has nothing on CMS! The Grade 6 team hosted its own Winter Olympics event today. You can see photos of all the action here.

The most recent i-Ready reports will be available in Aspen at 4:00pm today under Documents. Please remember that these results are simply one data point that helps educators determine what to continue and what to change when it comes to supporting all students. If you have any problems finding these reports, or if you have any questions, please let me know.

For CMS only, the end of Trimester II will be moved from Thursday, 3/12, to Monday, 3/23. During the snow days, I learned that Trimester II had originally been scheduled with only 53 days. With the two snow days, that number was reduced to 51. As you can imagine, this presented a challenge to our specialists, who were looking at covering the same content in 9 fewer days. Hence, this change. Report cards for Trimester II at CMS will now be issued on Friday, 3/27. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns!

On Friday, 2/27, we'll recognize and celebrate Black History Month. During this collaboration between CMS students and CHS's Black Student Union, students and staff will learn more about important people and significant accomplishments. The goal is to underscore that Black History Month is about more than what the name implies; it's important for all people, it's about the present and future, and it's about more than one month. More details to come, but parents/caregivers are welcome to attend this event, which will happen from roughly 1pm - 3pm.

Cohasset's Mosaic Night is a great celebration of our multicultural community. This year, it will be held from 6pm - 8pm on April 9th . See this flyer for more details and this link to register as an exhibitor or to donate.

Parents/Caregivers, please remind your kiddos to bring in a fully charged computer every day. The loaner computers in the main office are intended only for students who are dealing with a technical issue that can't be resolved during the school day, not as a substitute for an uncharged computer. Thank you for your attention to this, and please let me know if you are dealing with an exceptional circumstance.
