Panther PRIDE Update

Panther Families,

I hope you all had a great Fall Break. Congratulations to our 7th and 8th grade football teams for great seasons. They played extremely hard and represented Cimarron well!

Looking for some great entertainment this weekend? See below for details for our CMS Drama presentation of "Gravestone Manor"!

Our vocal music students have events next week and basketball tryouts are in full swing! It's a busy time, but I am proud of our students for balancing their academics with activities and athletics.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Kyle Harrison

Principal

Our CMS Drama performance of "Gravestone Manor" is this Friday and Saturday night, Oct. 25 & 26th, at Chisholm Elementary at 7pm. Tickets can be purchased with cash or check at the door or by using this link.

We encourage our students to participate in our themed dress-up days next week as we focus on living healthy, drug-free lifestyles! All attire worn must be school-appropriate.

The time of the year has come where we are asking for your feedback. A Core Value in Edmond Public Schools and Cimarron is "Collaboration." We value your input in deepening our partnership with all stakeholders in how we focus our time and resources. Please take a few minutes and complete the survey linked below, thank you!

Family School Relationship Survey

From now until November 21st, 8th Grade parents may purchase a half or quarter-size 8th Grade Tribute Page for their child in the 24-25 Cimarron Yearbook. Information on how to pay and general information are provided in the form attached. Forms must be filled out and payments must be submitted by cash or check to Yearbook Advisor Mr. Kinnaird no later than November 21st. There is only so much space so tribute page availability will be on a first come, first serve basis. We may sell out before the 21st, so get your form submitted as soon as possible!

As a reminder, students must wear their badge and lanyard every day at school and to any after school middle or high school activity.

At school, students are required to print a temporary badge if they forget theirs. Students may print up to three badges, without consequence, every thirty calendar days. Students with over three printings in a 30-day period will have lunch detention assigned to them by their grade-level administrator, and again for every three additional printings after that. Students should also have their badges on their originally issued colored lanyards ($1 replacement fee) as this indicates what grade level they are in. For any lost badges, a new badge set costs $5 and must be paid for when the new badge is ordered. The parent/guardian will be notified of this and that the charge will be placed on the student’s account.

At high school events, middle school students must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

Thank you for your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe and orderly environment for our students!

A few safety notes for arrival/drop-off:

• Do not drop off students in the parking lot or on Bryant. The car line is very fast and the safest way for students to get to school.
  
• After dropping off your child, use your turn signal when you see Mr. Bashant at the end of the cones if you need to switch lanes prior to exiting the parking lot. He will assist you in safely changing lanes.
• Do not enter the parking lot through the "Exit Only" side.
• If your student walks to school make sure they use the crosswalks at all times.
  
• Bikes need to be walked once they are on campus for everyone's safety.

Thank you for your help in making arrival run safely and smoothly for our students and staff.

Basketball tryouts are coming up soon. All athletes need a current physical. The rest of the required paperwork MUST BE filled out and electronically signed online through Rank One (www.rankonesport.com) before they can practice. If your student has already participated in a sport this year, this is already completed.
