Dear Families, Students, and Staff,
As we enter October, I want to take a moment to reflect on the tremendous start we've had to the school year. Our Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) program has been an outstanding success so far. The enthusiasm from both students and staff has been remarkable, and it's clear that our focus on building a positive school climate is paying off. Students are actively demonstrating respect, responsibility, and kindness, and the recognition they receive through PBIS has fostered a sense of pride and accountability throughout the school. We are excited to continue nurturing this momentum as we move further into the school year.
A key component of this success has been the strong relationships we’ve built with our students and their families. When students feel supported both at home and in school, it creates a powerful foundation for learning. We've seen great participation from parents at school events, and this partnership is critical in ensuring that every child feels connected. We’re equally excited about the growing opportunities to collaborate with local businesses. Through partnerships with our community, we are working to offer students hands-on experiences like internships, job shadowing, and diversified occupation opportunities. These connections will help our students explore potential career paths and gain valuable real-world experience. We are focusing on a key component of PBIS this month, being professional. This is a characteristic that will help our students succeed in the community and the world after they finish here at CMHS.
We are looking forward to deepening these relationships as the year progresses and ensuring that all our students have access to the tools and support they need to succeed both inside and outside the classroom. Let's keep up the great work together!
Sincerely,
CMHS Admin Team
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.
