Happy Sunday Cavalier Families!

The school year is going by so quickly--we are already one week away from Thanksgiving break!

We have a few events for students happening this week. On Wednesday, each grade level will have an assembly to hear about the dangers of vaping/nicotine, drugs, and alcohol. This assembly is presented by a licensed emergency room nurse (https://dose-of-reality.com/).

On Friday, 7th and 8th grade students will have some time in the morning to participate in a college and career fair. We will have a variety of colleges and career representatives in the building for students to hear from. This is a great opportunity for them to learn about different post-secondary options. We will also have concession sales during the school day on Friday. If students would like to purchase snacks, they will need to have cash to do so.

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

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.
