CMS friends and family,


One long weekend, three notes:


  1. This weekend represents the unofficial start to summer, which is excellent. Please remember, however, that the official start of summer is June 25th. We still have plenty of joyous learning ahead of us!

  2. I’m happy to announce that CMS staff has declared this a Wellness Weekend. That means no homework. Students, please take a break from school and do something kind for someone. Families, please know that your kiddos are telling the truth if they say they have nothing to do for school this weekend.

  3. Most importantly, I’m sending warm and grateful thoughts to all of you who will be thinking of loved ones you’ve lost during their service to our country.


Here’s to a weekend of fun, wellness, and reflection.


John / Mr. Scopelleti

CMS Quebec Trip

Mme. Scott shared these thoughts about last weekend's trip to Quebec: Our students were polite, engaged, punctual, and overall a pleasure throughout the entire trip. I know I speak for Mr. E. as well when I say that we were incredibly proud of the Cohasset kids and the way they managed this experience. A great trip for all involved! Here are some pics!

Interested in Being a Substitute Teacher?

Do you know any college kids who are looking for a local, fun, low-key way to spend their weekdays? Are you looking for a similar opportunity? If so, let me know; I'd love to talk about opportunities for substitute teaching!
