Dear Parents and CMS Family Members:

Welcome to Carwise Middle School (CMS). We are proud of our dedicated, experienced staff and enthusiastic learners!

As demands and complexities of teaching children increase, it becomes more evident that we all need to work together to insure that our children reach their potential.  We believe that all of us, the school and the community, must work together in an extended family environment to insure success for all our students.  We believe it is everyone’s responsibility to empower children with the creative, intellectual, and decision-making skills necessary for them to become academically, socially, physically, and emotionally successful and responsible.

With that in mind, you are invited to be an active participant at Carwise Middle School.  Whether you are a mentor, volunteer tutor, a member of the PTA or school advisory council (SAC), special event helper, or member of our booster organizations, you are encouraged to be involved!  Research on schools clearly demonstrates that parent participation in their child’s school corresponds with a greater likelihood of academic success for their child. We have been very successful at Carwise Middle, being a Florida Department of Education A graded school for 18 years in a row and a Five Star School for all 25 years since Carwise opened, due to our success in having students, staff and families working together.

It is our desire to keep you informed of all that is taking place at school.  Up-to-date and additional information will be sent to you though the regular phone Connect-Ed messages and our CMS website. If you have questions or concerns that arise at any time, please do not hesitate to give your child’s grade level Administrator or me a call. 

I look forward to having a strong and meaningful relationship with you and your family.

Sincerely,

Robert Vicari

Principal
