Your student will have the opportunity to participate in a field trip to Cedar Mountain on May 11 lasting about three hours. Students will participate in hands-on, inquiry-based activities that deepen their understanding of Earth's processes, geologic history, and fossil evidence. This field experience connects classroom learning to real-world scientific observation and investigation.
Your student will be receiving a permission form with detailed information about the trip on Monday in their science class. Please sign this permission form and return it with your student at your earliest convenience.

Homework Support-Dreambox
CMS is in the 5th round of school wide intervention and enrichment support. Students progress toward math and reading goals, as well as other academic data, will be used to determine next steps for all students.
Supporting your students at home: Dreambox math and reading continue to be our primary methods of supporting student math and reading growth. See the links below for setting up a family account to track your students’ math and reading progress. Reach out to Shay White at shay.white@moffatsd.org with any questions.
