Principal Notes

Dear CMS Families,

We have 4 more days until our break! As we wrap up the first semester we would like to thank our entire CMS community for your support and trust in educating your children. Our building is full of dedicated professionals that go above and beyond for our students. I am incredibly grateful for our staff, students, and parents!

GO COLTS!

Winter Assessment/Exam Schedule

What is the i-Ready Diagnostic?

The Diagnostic is an adaptive assessment that identifies students’ strengths and opportunities for growth.
That information helps determine how to best support their learning. Watch this video to learn more.

How can I access my student’s results?

Log in to your student’s i-Ready Dashboard through their Classlink icon and then click on the i-Ready icon.
Click on the For Families dropdown and select the For Families report.
Enter your District’s Report Code 9T1CRB.

For more information and support, see below and/or visit the i-Ready Family Center: Understanding Diagnostic Results.
