CMS Families:
There is a new viral TikTok challenge that intentionally damages Chromebooks by students forcing an electrical short. This is a violation of the AUA contract signed at the beginning of the year in addition to creating a potential safety concern. Families will be required to pay for any intentional damage to Chromebooks, including damage caused by this challenge, and the D5 Code of Conduct will be applied appropriately.
If you would like to learn more about this challenge please see the link below:
We appreciate any support you can provide in helping reiterate to your student that this is both dangerous and costly!
Parents/Guardians
The CMS Student Nutrition Department would like to encourage parents to maintain a positive balance on your student(s) meal account. Each household receives bi-weekly balance notifications via email. As we approach the last few weeks of the school year, we wanted to remind you to check on your student's meal account to ensure that the balance is paid.
Should you have any questions or concerns, you may reach out to me and I will do my best to assist you.
