COLT CORNER

CMS Families,

I hope that everyone is enjoying Spring Break! We look forward to welcoming our Colts back on Monday!

Dr. Bryan Calvert

As the weather warms up please remember that dress code will be enforced. The dress code was amended in February and states: Shorts, including athletic shorts, must extend PAST the student's knuckles naturally and must remain visible when standing.

We know our Colts are hungry and thirsty throughout the day. See below for guidelines to maintain a focused learning environment and to prevent spills or messes. Thank you for your cooperation!

Breakfast/Lunch/Beverages at CMS:

• Students are allowed to bring breakfast/coffee drinks to school in the morning but those items must be consumed in the cafeteria before heading to class.
• Any items brought to school, dropped off, or purchased at lunch must be consumed in the cafeteria.
• Only water is allowed in the classroom.
• Parents may drop off fast food for students in the vestibule but we ask that this be reserved for special occasions/circumstances rather than a daily occurrence.
• Please avoid delivering family-size portions of food from restaurants for students to share.
