January/ February Newsletter

Dear Parents/Guardians:

Happy New Year!  Believe it or not, we have already completed the first half of this school year!  The last day of the first semester/second nine weeks was on December 21, and the teachers have been submitting first semester grades this week.  You will receive your child’s report card on January 18^th. 

Please take time to review your child’s academic and social progress. If you have concerns, please take advantage of the tutoring/extra help sessions and other supports we have in place. Our teachers and I are willing to meet with parents/guardians at any time.  Feel free to contact your child’s guidance counselor and/or me to schedule a conference before we get too far into the school year.

Our teachers have been providing assessments to determine students’ academic growth since the beginning of the school year.  We are happy to see our students put forth their best efforts as they build the foundation needed for the challenges in High School and beyond.

Please continue to encourage your child to be involved in all of the fun clubs and activities we have at CMS. We know your child will enjoy the experiences and opportunities of over 25 choices to foster their interests in Art, Music, Science, Technology, Competitions, Sports, History, Monster Madness, Animal Friends, International Cultures, Robotics and many other activities.

I want to thank you for all of your support. Together we continue to make CMS an award-winning school and a great place for our students and families.

Thank you,

Robert Vicari, Principal
