This week at CMS!



Welcome back to all of our Wildcats!
Reminder, the First Student bus tracking app is currently NOT available. We will update parents once all routes have been adjusted and the app is ready for use.


We are SO excited to welcome our students back on campus tomorrow. We are looking forward to an amazing school year.
Upon arrival to campus, students should report to their homeroom class. Each student will receive a new printed schedule from their homeroom teacher, as some schedules may have changed. Students will have a C Day (report to all 8 periods) on Thursday and Friday.
It's a great YEAR to be a Wildcat!



Thank you for your patience with School Cash Online! Having forms and fees taken care of before your scheduled orientation time will help streamline your process.


We are excited to welcome our Wildcats on campus this week for Orientation. Please see the attached graphic for more information.



Leap scores are available now in Student Progress Center!


Due to the internet being down, AR testing at CMS has been cancelled for today.
Students will be able to take any remaining summer reading AR tests once the school year begins.
We apologize for this inconvenience!

As a reminder, our CMS Awards Programs will be held tomorrow (Wednesday) for 7th grade and Thursday for 6th and 8th grades. Students were notified via JCampus message on Monday evening AND through a printed invitation today if they are receiving an award. Students being honored may wear professional dress attire, but free dress guidelines must be followed.


Students who pre-ordered a yearbook should have received it today in homeroom.
