Every day counts! Regular school attendance is one of the most important factors in a student’s success. When students miss school, they miss valuable learning time, opportunities to participate in class discussions, and moments to connect with their peers. Even a few absences can add up quickly and make it harder to keep up. We understand that illness and emergencies happen, but whenever possible, please help ensure your child is at school, on time, every day. Together, we can build strong habits that set our students up for lifelong success!

Lately, we’ve noticed some students bringing canned whipped cream to lunch and throughout the school day. While it may seem like fun, this item is not appropriate for school and will not be allowed. As a reminder, our school policy states that food and drinks—other than water—are not permitted in the middle school building. Any food or drink (besides water) brought into classrooms or hallways will be thrown away. Thank you for helping us maintain a safe, clean, and focused learning environment for all students.

Students who participate in Athletics must meet the academic eligiblity requirements in order to participate in home and away events. Students must have a 2.0 GPA and no F's in any classes in order to be considered eligible. Eligibility will be pulled every Wednesday Morning. Students are expected to check their PowerSchool daily and be aware of their grades in all classes.

8th Grade students are expected to maintain Academic Eligibility in order to participate in the 8th Grade Promotion Ceremony at the end of the 2025-2026 School Year. Eligibility requirements are students need an average GPA of 2.0 between Semester 1 and Semester 2. As stated in the CLMS Handbook, attendance and behavior also play a role in determining eligibility for promotion and promotion-related events. (Page 12 of CLMS Handbook)
