CRMS Principal's Communication
Principal's Newsletter - October 30, 2026
What a busy and exciting week at CRMS! We had two assemblies this week, each providing a great opportunity to celebrate and recognize our students.
Our Red Ribbon Week assembly brought together the DEA and Colorado National Guard, along with a helicopter landing on our school field. It was a unique experience for our students and an opportunity to reinforce the importance of making healthy, drug-free choices.
We also held our First Quarter Awards Assembly, recognizing students for Honor Roll, Shining Knight, Perfect Attendance, and No Tardies. We love having opportunities to recognize students for their hard work, dedication, and commitment to being present and ready to learn each day. And yes, having no tardies is a big deal! As you know, our passing periods are three minutes, which is plenty of time to get where they need to be. Being on time is a small habit that makes a big difference in the school day.
We will wrap up the week with our Boo Bash after school today. We are looking forward to a fun afternoon with our students! Have a wonderful fall weekend, enjoy that extra hour of sleep, and don't forget to turn your clocks back on Sunday.

Middle School Survey
The Foundation for Douglas County Schools would like to hear directly from DCSD families about what after-school programs exist and what you want for your children. We would love your perspective by taking a brief, 5-minute survey.
The survey closes on November 20th, and we will keep your responses confidential. Thank you for helping!
CRMS Helping The Community
We have two opportunities for CRMS to help our community this quarter.
Next week: Nov 2-5 is our CRMS Toiletry Drive Students can bring in any new item. Each item counts as a point for their pod.
December 7-11 will be our CRMS toy drive. Bring in any new unwrapped toy. Each toy will count for points for your pod.

Chromebooks Charged
A quick reminder that students are expected to bring their Chromebooks to school fully charged each day. Our students do a great job remembering to bring their devices, and we appreciate that! Charging Chromebooks overnight at home helps ensure students are ready to learn and can participate in classroom activities without interruption. Thank you for helping us reinforce this daily habit!
