CMS News and Events – August 23rd – 27th
Thank you for our great turnout for orientation last Wednesday and Thursday. We are looking forward to seeing everyone tomorrow Monday, August 23rd for our first day of school. Just a reminder that the earliest drop off time for car riders in mornings is 7:15am. Breakfast and lunch are both free for all students again this school year. The tardy bell will ring at 7:45am. If your child is a car rider make sure you arrive at school before 7:35 to ensure they will not be tardy to class.
Here are some additional reminders:
- Car Rider Drop off and Pick Up:
6th grade will be dropped off and picked up in the bus lot off Morrow Motor Rd.
7th and 8th grade students will be drop off and picked up in the front of the school (main entrance.) Parents with students in more than one grade level can pick up their students in the higher grade level location.
- Bus routes – parents just a reminder that bus pick up and drop off times usually change earlier or later each day for the first several weeks. Please have your child ready and at their bus stop 15-20 minutes early until these times adjust. If your address has changed since last school year you will need to come by school to complete a new bus form. Please note students must follow federal guidelines and wear a face mask covering their nose and mouth while riding buses at all times. (See bus info section below for more information)
- Student Schedules – If your child did not get their official schedule during orientation or meet your teacher last week then have them stop by the main office when they arrive to school tomorrow
