Get Ready for Hispanic Heritage Spirit Week!

HISPANIC HERITAGE CULTURAL ASSEMBLY As part of our Latino Heritage Month celebration, CMCS is excited to take our students on a special journey into the vibrant culture and traditions of Nicaragua! We are honored to welcome Dariana Garcia, a first-generation student at the University of California, Berkeley, who will share her Nicaraguan heritage with our students through a special traditional folklórico dance performance.

Six-Week Invitational Parent Conferences September 28 - October 2 It's been six weeks and that means it's time for the six week invitational parent conferences. All kindergarten parents meet with their child's teacher to discuss academic, behavior, attendance concerns and/or just to get an update on their child's progress. The teacher may review Beginning-of-Year Assessment results with parents at this time. Parent Conferences for Grades 1-5 are optional. If you do not receive an invitation from your child's teacher but you would like to meet with them, please contact the teacher directly to make a conference appointment.

Happy Fall, Y'all!

One of the simplest and most important things we can do for our children is make sure they are at school, on time, and ready to learn each day. Great things happen at CMCS every day, and we don’t want our students to miss a minute of it! As we approach our 25th day of school, it’s a good time to check in on how we’re doing—and set a goal to make every school day count.

Last year, we also had the support of our amazing Pupil Services and Attendance Counselor, Claudia , who worked closely with our students and families and played a huge role in ...
