Dear CMS Families,

We hope everyone has a fantastic weekend! Our staff and students have been working incredibly hard this semester and it is showing up in our data. We are proud of our Colts! Let's keep encouraging them to finish the semester strong!

GO COLTS!

COLT PRIDE AWARDS!

Every week our staff members have the opportunity to nominate one CMS Student to receive a Colt Pride Award. These students have demonstrated at least one of our Colt Pride Values: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, Excellence! Way to go COLTS!

A Note from the Nurse

6th GRADE PARENTS: Texas law requires that any student attending public school must meet minimum immunization requirements to continue enrollment. Although the federal immunization recommendations have changed, Texas has not adopted the new vaccine schedule. All 7th graders are required to have Meningococcal (MCV) and TDaP vaccines before beginning school in the fall. These will be the last vaccines your student will be required to have for public education. If your student has had the MCV and TDaP, routinely given at the 11 year check up, please email me a copy so that I can update our records. If you choose to not vaccinate, the state does have a waiver that you can complete and submit. Waivers are good for 2 years and will have to be renewed in high school. Links to immunization requirements and waiver information can be found below.

Texas Immunization Requirements: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunizations/school/requirements

Waiver Information: https://www.dshs.texas.gov/immunizations/school/exemptions

You can email records to candace.sibley@gcisd.net

CMS CHEER INFORMATION

Dear Future Cheer Parents,

I am so excited about the upcoming tryout season and the opportunity to work with your athletes!
To help keep communication clear and organized, I have created a Google Drive folder that will serve as our central hub for all important information. This folder includes answers to frequently asked questions, important dates, expectations, required forms, and all materials needed for tryouts.
Moving forward, any important updates or tryout materials will be uploaded directly to this Google Drive. I strongly encourage you to bookmark it and check it regularly to ensure you do not miss anything.
My goal is to make this process as transparent and smooth as possible for both athletes and families. If you review the folder and still have questions, please feel free to reach out.
Thank you for your support — I am looking forward to a great season!

Best,
Kennedy Banks
