We recently kicked off our Mini-THON journey, a heartwarming initiative to support the Four Diamonds Foundation and the fight against childhood cancer. Our students are all in, demonstrating empathy, leadership, and teamwork. Join us in our efforts by staying tuned for updates and opportunities to participate via our Facebook page!
To begin the school year, we launched our "Be Present" challenge to our students and staff, focusing on one of our core values here at Keystone Central. This challenge encourages our students to be present at school, fully engaged, and mindful in their learning. We believe that by being present, our students can create a positive and supportive school environment that makes Central Mountain Middle School an awesome place to learn and work!
We asked our families and community to help in this effort by participating in our Attendance Slogan Challenge...and the votes are IN! Congratulations to the following WIN classes:
5th Grade GRAY Team Mr. Miller's WIN
Wildcats Run on Being Present
6th Grade BLUE Team Mrs. Donvan's WIN

This year, we will be offering monthly ‘Keystone Conversations’ in an effort to provide our parents and guardians with information they feel would be most helpful to assist in closing the gap between home and school. We would love to hear from parents / guardians to know what training or information they would like to receive. We would like all parents / guardians to complete this short form to let us know what you need.

ATTENDANCE MATTERS
We're so excited to have our schools filled with students and teachers where we can all grow and learn together!
There is so much awesomeness that can be achieved when we're present at school. If something is getting in the way of your student coming to school, please reach out to your student's teacher, school counselor, district social worker, or school nurse. We want to make sure that your student is receiving whatever supports necessary to help them be successful.
REMNDER: As we start a new school year, excuses need to be turned in within 3 days of an absence. Use your school's attendance email to make sure that the excuse notes get turned in on time.
