Happy Sunday Cavalier Families!

I hope this message finds you well and that you are having a great weekend.

As we finish the month of January, we encourage all of our students to reflect on the importance of meeting our campus expectations. These guidelines are in place to create a safe, supportive, and positive learning environment for everyone. Additionally, we ask for your support in helping students understand why it is important to focus on their learning while at school. Together, we can continue to inspire our students to make the most of their time, talents, and efforts.

We have a few activities scheduled for this week to include MAP testing and grade level assemblies where our students will hear from award-winning author, Dan Poblocki. We are hosting a meeting for parents of our emergent bilingual students on Tuesday (see flier below). On Friday, we will celebrate students who have earned enough Hero points. We also will have concession food for sale during lunches (students will need cash to purchase).

As always, thank you for your ongoing support and dedication to our school.

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

This Month's CKH Character Trait: Respect - Act with thoughtfulness.

Monday: Respect for self is the beginning of cultivating virtue in men and woman.

Tuesday: Respect is a lot more important, and a lot greater than popularity.

Wednesday: In all our deeds, the proper value and respect for time determines success or failure.

Thursday: Knowledge will give you power, but character will give you respect.

Friday: You can have a certain arrogance, and think that is fine, but what you should never lose is respect for others.

The Counseling Office will be doing small group counseling sessions during every grade level lunch on Wednesdays in Room 211. If you would like to your child to participate, please encourage them to get a permission slip from the counseling office or print & fill out the slip below. Our primary focus is effective communication & conflict resolution. For the sessions to be effective, the groups are kept to a maximum of 15 students. New groups begin every 6 weeks to ensure more students are able to participate. Have your student sign-up today!

Please notice the drop off and pick up areas for cars at CPMS. For the safety of our students, please do not drop off in the bus loop.

Parents/Guardians should only be driving in the yellow area indicated on the map.

The red area is for buses only. Parents who enter the red area are putting students and staff at risk as there is limited visibility when buses are present.

Student Code of Conduct cards were sent home this past week. Please make sure that you have read over the SCOC so that you know the expectations for behavior.
