Cimarron MS News - March 28, 2024
Grade Level News
From Behind the Desk!
Hello Cimarron Families!
I'm a big fan of Jim Henson and the Muppets - who isn't, right?
Remember that scene where they encounter a giant fork in the road? Life can feel a bit like that sometimes - full of unexpected twists and turns.
And here's the good news: our educators, like you, are the ones guiding our young scholars through those forks with confidence and curiosity. You inspire them, equip them, and help them navigate their unique paths.
This week, let's celebrate the magic you bring to our campus! You have the incredible ability to ignite a love for learning that lasts a lifetime. Remember, your impact reaches far beyond the classroom walls.
Let's make it a great week!
And if you haven't heard it yet today – know you are loved!
Gabe Schmidt
Principal, Cimarron MS
Positivity - Respect - Integrity - Diligence - Empathy

Navigating TikTok
This month’s Smart Social Tip of the Month is full of information on a social media app we hear a lot about in the news, TikTok. What is it exactly? Why do students want to spend time on the app? What should you know about it as parents or guardians? And what are some of the biggest concerns related to TikTok? That information is available by clicking this link: https://smartsocial.com/post/tiktok-app?org=edmond
