STUDENTS AND PARENTS READ BEFORE MONDAY, APRIL 12TH
Important Information For Returning On April 12th – Student Schedule Changes
We are looking forward to the majority of our students coming back to school 4 days a week. With this major change, there have been some changes to student schedules. A small number of students will have a change of schedule with their core teachers (ie: Math, English, Science, and Social Studies). For these students, they should receive a message in Canvas from their core teachers informing them of the change.
On Monday, all students need to report to their homeroom/1st period teacher when arriving to school. There will be a table set up in the main hall near the office for any student not sure of their homeroom or who needs any assistance finding their classroom.
The majority of our schedule changes have occurred at the exploratory level. One new exploratory is Academic Enrichment that will function as a course recovery class. All students will receive a printed schedule in their homeroom when they arrive on April 12th. Staff will be in the commons and main hall area to help students who uncertain of their homeroom.
Wednesday will continue to be a remote learning day for all students. Please note that attendance will not be optional on the assigned days to be at school. We will now follow regular NC compulsory attendance laws and count tardies for students for the remainder of the school year. We are excited to have our students back this week!
CMS Student and Parent Announcements – April 12th – April 16th
New Exploratory Class – 6th grading period – Academic Enrichment
One new course during one exploratory period is called “Academic Enrichment”. Students who are not passing at least 3 out of 4 courses for the school year are enrolled in this course. Parents please encourage your child to take advantage and do their best during this course. For some students this may be the opportunity they need to not attend summer school and pass for this year.
Breakfast, Lunch, and outside food deliveries:
No charge for student breakfast and lunch. Upon arrival and completion of required health screening, students will report directly to their first period of the day. A grab-and-go breakfast opportunity will be given to students on the way to their classrooms. We can not accept any food deliveries from outside of the school. Please make sure to tell any family members who have typically brought or sent food to schools during lunch period.
Summer School – June 1st – July 15th
The NC General Assembly recently passed House Bill 82 and Governor Cooper signed it into law. This legislation provides funding for a summer school opportunity for students who do not meet the promotion standards (passes 3 out of 4 core classes for the school year). If your child is currently not meeting promotion standards and you would like them to have the opportunity to attend to work towards possible promotion please make sure to mark your calendar for these dates. Depending on how many core courses your child is failing will determine the length of time they attend summer school. More information will be shared soon with details and the format of summer school.
WORK DEADLINES for Hybird Students (attend 4 days each week)
Now that hybrid students are attending school 4 days each week these students should be able to submit assignments daily. Most teachers will have daily assignments to complete or require assignments to be submitted on the last day students attend each week. Contact individual teachers for their procedures. Parents please have your student pull up all work assignments in their Canvas account before this Tuesday, March 30th to ensure all work has been submitted.
