CMS Families,

What a difference one year makes. Even though we are wearing masks, it isgreat to have our students back in the building. Seeing students havinglunch at school, carrying on conversations, and a full sports schedule are allsomething we love to see. I would like to thank all of the parents forencouraging your child to wear their mask while in the building. I don't likewearing one all day, but to be able to have students back in school makes itall worth it.

Here are a few reminders for the year: Make sure your child has a waterbottle every day. We have refill stations and encourage students to use thembetween classes. Also, only pack materials in the backpacks that are useddaily. The PE classes have started dressing out. If you have not purchased aPE uniform, you can do so at All Pro Tees.

I would like to thank everyone who drops off and picks up their child for yourpatience and help with the traffic lines. Moving as far forward is vital to thelines moving quickly. We are still having a number of students coming inafter 8:35. If they do so, they are counted tardy for the advisory period. Makesure to check the sports calendar on our school website. Finally, we wouldlove to see you come out and support our CMS athletes.

We hope to see everyone at the open house on Sep 14, 2021.

Sincerely,

Mr. Snow
