We will see a number of families this week at Evening Conferences with your child's teacher on Tuesday, February 4th. Teachers have reached out to those families whom they wish to have a conversation with in order for the remainder of the year to be met with success.

Are you interested in sponsoring a horse at the upcoming Night at the Races on March 1st? Twenty dollars will give you naming rights and each winning owner gets $30 cash. If you have students at CMS, your child will also receive a no homework pass.

Want to know what other Topper families did on January 30th together as a family? READ ON...

• We had a "salon night." One family member did everyone's makeup and Mom put tinsel in everyone's hair while we all watched Monsters Univesity!
• We played Cleveland monopoly.
• We attended the St. Mary's community supper.
• We went snowboarding at Alpine.
• We cooked dinner, ate, and watched a movie together without the pressure of completing school work. All the animals were cared for giving us even more time together.
• We ordered pizza and stayed in and watched a movie. Our schedules are always so busy with sporting events. It was nice to have a night off and hang out together.

Hello Parents

We are still seeing Flu and RSV in the school

Please review good hand washing with your kids

Please review proper cough etiquette with them as well

6th-grade parents, please remember the 7th-grade vaccines are due in August.

They are due 1 week after school starts. The 2 that are needed are tetanus and meningitis. I do look often on the State vaccine website,but not all providers are affiliated. You can always get a printout at the appointment and have your child bring it to me. If you need an exemption form, call me. I have sent a few home via email and in person with the kids. I have only received a couple back.

Please continue to call the office or me with anything that is considered contagious.

We are almost to Spring.

Thank you

Jennifer Trittschuh RN BSN LSN

The Science and The Arts Fair was a large success thanks to the hard work of SO MANY people, including our talented students, the Topper families who were able to attend and our dedicated staff of Science educators, Art teachers, and Music Department. There were additional people that made this event possible including our classified personnel setting up, running parts of and taking down materials following the event.

We appreciate each of you for your work - it paid off with an event to remember for many students. As was mentioned on morning announcements the following day, what was achieved was a TRUE accomplishment.

During the first week of school, all families received personalized QR codes to join PBIS rewards to see your student's information as it relates to positive behavior choices in the building. If you have not joined yet, please consider doing so by scanning the code you received and signing up to receive notifications.

If you need another QR code, please reach out to your child's homeroom teacher or Ms. Paroubek to access another copy.

Thanks for partnering with us on this new system!

Did you capture a great action photo of your child participating in CMS Basketball, Wrestling, or Cheer this season? Would you like that photograph in the yearbook? If yes, submit that photo to the yearbook staff for review. You might see it in the yearbook this spring!
