⛅The Hurricane Watch April 2025 ⛅

Dear Parents,

Welcome back from Spring Break! It's hard to believe that it's almost the End of the Year with just a few short weeks until Summer Break. As we begin to wind down April and look forward towards May we ask that you help us help your student EXCEL as we both know they can.

GMAS testing and Final Exams will begin next month and getting your student test ready is the key to success. A good night's sleep and a good breakfast along with encouragement from you at home will help ensure your student will be ready to go for testing!

As a reminder, please check the dates below and add them to your calendar where they apply. Please feel free to reach out to us if you have any questions or concerns. As always, we appreciate you and would like to thank you for your continued support.

Go Canes!

Hello CMS Families!

As the school year draws to a close, it's important to encourage your children to finish strong. This period can be challenging, with GMAS testing and final exams, projects, and the anticipation of summer break. Parents can support their children by helping them stay organized, maintaining a consistent study routine, and emphasizing the importance of perseverance. Healthy habits are especially important during this time. Make sure your child is getting enough sleep, eating nutritious meals, and staying hydrated. Regular physical activity can also help reduce stress and improve concentration while testing. Additionally, fostering a positive mindset and reminding children that their hard work will pay off can make a significant difference. By providing encouragement and practical support, parents can help their middle schoolers end the year on a high note and cruise into summer break.

As always, please contact your student’s grade level counselor with any questions or concerns.

Go Canes!
