October 10 Family Update
Middle of First Semester!
Can you believe it? Next week will mark the middle point of the First Semester! Our Broncos are settled in and really diving deep into new learning. CMS is an exciting place to be!
At CMS, we do not send home printed report cards because we found most parents followed along with their child's progress through regular checks on Infinite Campus. Please contact the office if you are having trouble viewing your child's grades - or ask them to show you via the student portal. These opportunities can lead to excellent conversations!
If a student is missing work from a unit, teachers usually give a week or two after the unit ends before turning the "Missing" grade to a 0. Please look for any missing assignments regularly. Thank you for being an active member of your child's success!
At CMS, we honor students' for strong academic and behavior through the Principal's List, Honor Roll, and Bronco Awards. Please see the award criteria and rewards HERE.
