Happy Friday!
This week our 8th grade students took the PSAT. I want to commend students for taking their time on this assessment. We are excited to see the results. All students will be taking the M-STEP on April 23rd and April 25th. It is encouraged that students arrive on time these days as to not disrupt the testing or students needing to do this test as a makeup. The more consistent the setting for students the better the results.
We are looking for your feedback in our survey to help us improve and also celebrate the good things that you are seeing here at CMS.
Tuesday is an early release instead of a late start. Students will be releases at 12:20.
Please see the calendar below to familiarize yourself with our upcoming events.
Have a great weekend.

Behaviors for March
Sports Schedule
I wanted to touch base with you in regards to sporting event attendance. Students in the middle school must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to all games and have their ID or can show their information in StudentVue to get into the games for free. Students can not be dropped off and left without parent/guardian supervision. This is for all Clio sporting events. Also, when students attend the games they will need to be seated on the bleachers. This is for safety reasons and we are also at the game to cheer on our Mustangs.
