CMS News

Hard to believe we are already done with January and moving onto February! Honestly, I just couldn't choose one more background with a snowy theme!! Here in the office we are starting to plan for the end of the year, consider scheduling needs for next year, and always look for ways to support students for the reminder of the year. Have a fabulous weekend!

See you Monday Broncos!

We are noticing some unsafe morning drop off locations and we are asking for your help in keeping our students and staff safe in the mornings. Remember the following:

• The only safe locations for dropping of students off are in the locations marked in GREEN in the photo below.
• Do NOT drop students in the southern 2 lanes of the parking lot - marked in Red. Students walking from these locations create a very dangerous situation.
• If dropping students off while using the parking lot, please only allow students out of your vehicle at the Green X and do not pull horizontally through the handicap spots. These must remain open.
• Use extreme caution and slow speeds within the parking lot, watching for staff and students.
• When directed by our crossing guard, consider pulling all the way through the main walkway and using the entire front sidewalk for drop off. This would make the line move much faster!

Please share this with any individual driving to CMS in the morning. Thank you!
