PBIS Newsletter
This year at CRMS, our staff and students are using the PBIS Rewards App. Students have been earning Cougar Cash Points by showing that they are Unstoppable, Noble, Inclusive, Teachable, and Yourself. Students use the PBIS App to track their points and have the opportunity to spend their Cougar Cash on items ranging from school supplies to footballs! Ask your student how much Cougar Cash they have and see what they plan on spending it on!

Attendance
Wristbands
All Colonel Richardson Middle School students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian in order to attend Varsity Football games at Colonel Richardson High School. Students who wish to attend a home game SHOULD obtain a wristband during lunch on the day of the event.
To receive a wristband, students must be in good standing with attendance and may not have outstanding disciplinary concerns. Please note that wristbands do not replace admission—tickets must still be purchased at the game.
We look forward to seeing our students and families supporting our athletes and celebrating Cougar pride at our campus sporting events!
Colonel Richardson Middle Student Drop-Off Update
Please be advised that all student car riders will now be dropped off at the Main Entrance located at the front of the building. After drop-off, drivers should proceed forward and exit the campus prior to reaching the bus lot.
