It's a Great Week to be a Cavalier!

Happy Sunday Cavalier Families!


We hope your weekend is going well and that your middle school student has been helpful at home!


At CPMS, we believe that leadership is not just about holding a title—it’s about making responsible choices, taking initiative, and positively influencing those around us. As we continue our journey of "Making It Count" this year, we are focused on empowering our students to become leaders in their classrooms, school, and community.


Leadership can take many forms, from speaking up in class discussions to helping a friend in need, taking responsibility for assignments, or participating in student-led initiatives. Our teachers are creating opportunities for students to build confidence, problem-solve, and take ownership of their learning. We encourage you to reinforce these skills at home by asking your child about ways they have stepped up as a leader this week.


Our Capturing Kids' Hearts character trait this month is Kindness. We are challenging our students to be kind to one another and to themselves, even if it's difficult. This month, we will be modeling kindness for our students and celebrating it when we see it. 💙🧡


Thank you for your continued support in helping our students grow into strong, capable, kind leaders.


We are looking forward to a Cav-tastic week with your students!
