Save the date for parent-teacher conferences! Wednesday, October 30th from 2:30-7:00pm in the MPR. Please note that conferences will be held in the MPR and will be open-house style, so there is no need to sign up for a specific time slot.

This year in PE we are requiring that all students wear the correct gym shoe while in PE class. Doing this will help keep the gym floor intact and keep students safer. We are looking for extra tennis shoes to keep in the PE office for students to use if they forget shoes for a day. Ideally the shoes tie or velcro. If you have old athletic shoes that are in good shape we would love to have them as part of the collection! We are looking for sizes that fit 6th-8th graders (sizes 4-10). There will be a box at Parent/Teacher Conferences and in the office to drop the shoes in.

October 23rd to November 8th, 2024!

Empowering students to evaluate the credibility of claims and identify misinformation.

Students will explore how to identify AI generated images, learn how to use 5 factors to evaluate the credibility of a claim, and develop skills to identify misinformation through various activities in the library, direct instruction in Social Studies classes, and optional extension activities. Join us on Oct 23 during parent-teacher conferences in the library to learn more and take part in our kickoff event!

What is News Literacy? News literacy is the ability to determine the credibility of news and other information and to recognize the standards of fact-based journalism to know what to trust, share and act on.

We understand that this may not always be possible, but when it is, it really benefits our learning environment. Check the bell schedule HERE. Thanks for your help and support!

Please email CBSSattendance@gunnisonschools.net if your student will be absent or needs to miss any classes. Per the student handbook, please note that students who are more than 25 minutes late to class without a call or email from a guardian will be marked as an unexcused absence for that period.
