Principal Williams' Notes

Episode 10: Veteran's Day

CMS Family,

As we celebrate Veteran's Day, I wanted to say how proud I am with how our school district wholeheartedly honors the service and sacrifices of our brave veterans. The district's commitment to recognizing and appreciating their dedication is truly commendable. From our event scheduled for next week to lessons I've observed, it has been rewarding to see us recognize those brave individuals who have served our country. This collective effort not only fosters a sense of patriotism but also instills in students a deep appreciation for the sacrifices made to uphold our freedom. As we extend our heartfelt thanks to the veterans, our school district stands as a beacon of respect and recognition for their service.

We've finished our 2nd 6wks, sent home report cards, and have(will have) celebrated our next round of Top Cats! As we continue progressing quickly into our school year, it's crucial for students, parents, and teachers to actively participate in monitoring and enhancing the educational journey. Embracing the advancements of the year, we have the tools and resources to ensure seamless communication and collaboration. Regularly checking students progress, grades, and attendance serves as a cornerstone for success, fostering a partnership among students, parents, and teachers. By staying informed and engaged, we collectively contribute to a supportive and enriching educational environment that empowers students to excel. Let's embrace the progress of the times and commit to a collaborative approach for the benefit of every learner in our community.

Our employee of the week for the 11-13 -> 11-17 week is….Mrs. Jenkins! Mrs. Jenkins has been a huge help for me as I work with different students and scenarios. She helps many of ours AND HS student work through issues, figures out schedules and changes that might be needed, and continues to provide a positive demeanor to everyone that comes to her. Thanks, Mrs. Jenkins for all that you do!

Feel free to send photo so I can attach what amazing things we are all doing this school year!
