CMS Chronicle

Dear CMS Families,

As Thanksgiving approaches, I want to take a moment to express my sincere appreciation for the ongoing support and collaboration from our wonderful school community.

A heartfelt thank you to our SCA for organizing such a successful book fair! Thanks to your generosity, they were able to donate numerous books to our classrooms, enhancing our students' reading experiences.

We also had the privilege of celebrating World Kindness Day recently, where our students participated in random acts of kindness throughout the day. It was truly uplifting to see so many thoughtful gestures, reminding us all of the positive impact kindness can have on others.

I am happy to welcome our new Vice Principal, Karen Husser to our administrative team and Bradley Ferriere to our Phys Ed team. Both have hit the ground running and have already made great connections with our students.

Wishing you and your family a joyful and restful Thanksgiving!

Thank you,

Nicole Musarra, Principal

As the school counselor’s at CMS, we have the amazing privilege to work with every student in the school. We work with parents, collaborate with teachers and staff, and consult with community organizations to benefit and meet the needs of all CMS students, and the community. Our favorite part is that we are lucky to work with every student here in school, doing small groups, individual counseling sessions, as well as classroom lessons and activities.

SCHOOL TIMES

8:45 Drop-Off Starts (see information below)

9:00 School Starts

3:45 Dismissal

DROP-OFF PROCEDURES:

If you plan on dropping your child off the drop-off line is a continuous stream of traffic. Parents will not be able to park their vehicle and walk their child(ren) to the door.

PICK-UP PROCEDURES:

If you plan to pick up your child(ren) in the afternoon you will have to pick them up on the side of the building, just like drop off, in the line of continuous stream of traffic. Parents will not be able to park their vehicle and pick up their child(ren). If you have to pick up your child prior to dismissal, you can do so up until 3:20pm. Any pick ups after 3:20 must be done at the dismissal car line.

As a reminder, it is mandatory to use the Pick up Patrol App to report any student absences, early dismissal plans, and dismissal plan changes specific to if your child is being picked up, going to aftercare, or taking the bus, etc. This will help expedite our dismissal procedures and ensure that your child is exactly where they need to be.
