Dear CMS Families,

It's been a fantastic week at CMS! We hope that everyone enjoys the extended weekend! Last week our students took their beginning of the year i-Ready diagnostic assessment. Directions for viewing your child's results are linked below. We are so proud of the way our students have started off the year!

Every week our staff members have the opportunity to nominate one CMS Student to receive a Colt Pride Award. These students have demonstrated at least one of our Colt Pride Values: Perseverance, Respect, Integrity, Discipline, Excellence! Way to go COLTS!

A Note from our Counselors

SOS Signs of Suicide® Prevention Program Preview Wednesday, September 3, 10:00am & 6:00pm

The adolescent years are marked by a roller-coaster ride of emotions—difficulty for youths, their parents, and educators. It is easy to misread depression as normal adolescent turmoil; however, depression (among the most common of mental illnesses) appears to be occurring at a much earlier age. Depression—which is treatable—is the leading risk factor for suicide.

To proactively address these issues, GCISD offers depression awareness and suicide prevention training as part of the SOS Signs of Suicide® Prevention Program.

The SOS Signs of Suicide® Prevention Program is designed for all secondary students grades 6-12.

The GCISD School Health Advisory Committee has previewed and recommended these programs for all GCISD secondary schools.

A parent preview of the program will be held on Wednesday, September 3, 2025 at 10:00am & 6:00pm at the GCISD Administration Building – Board Room, 3051 Ira E. Woods, Grapevine, Texas 76051.

Students must have school counseling services consent form completed in Skyward in order to participate in guidance lessons. For more information, including information about how to opt your student out of the Signs of Suicide program, please click here: English Spanish

At Colleyville Middle School, student presentations will occur on September 16th during 5th period for 7th and 8th graders, and on September 18th, during Pre-Athletics for 6th graders. Questions about SOS and CMS students may be directed to Natalie Siegele at Natalie.Siegele@gcisd.net or (817) 251-5665.
