CBSAC March 3, 2026 Agenda

Each year, students in Colorado participate in state-required assessments that provide valuable information to families, educators, and the community. These assessments are mandated by state and/or federal law and help ensure that all students receive a high-quality education aligned to Colorado Academic Standards. Results help us understand how well students are meeting grade-level expectations and guide instructional planning and program improvement across the district.

• It will be held in the library the week of March 9th.
• Shopping can take place before, during, and after school (after school times TBD).

Sign up to help with crossing guard HERE. Volunteers are needed to help students safely cross the street along the safe route on 8th St. and Red Lady Avenue.

We need your help running Booster Club concessions! Volunteering is a fun, easy way to support our teams and connect with other CBCS families. Sign up for a shift and help us keep the snacks (and spirit!) flowing at every home game.

Please email CBSSattendance@gunnisonschools.net if your student will be absent or needs to miss any classes.

In an effort to alleviate disruptions to classroom learning, if you need to pick up your child during the school day, please do your best to utilize a passing period. We understand that this may not always be possible, but when it is, it really benefits our learning environment. Per the student handbook, middle school students must be signed out from the front office by a guardian. Please also call ahead or email. High school students can sign out from the office on their own with guardian approval (email cbssattendance@gunnisonschools.net or call 970-641-7720). Thanks for your help and support!

Please contact Madeline Shugert, Secondary Office Manager, at madeline.shugert@gunnisonschools.net, or call the front office at (970) 641-7720.
