Dear CCSMS Families and Scholars,

We are wrapping up exams this week! Thank you to our families for helping support our amazing scholars.  Our attendance and scholar perseverance this year has been amazing during exams. Please help your scholar finish the school year strong by helping them get enough sleep and focusing on academics. Getting to bed at a reasonable time and eating breakfast go a long way to having positive energy and doing well on assessments and end of the year class work. Please reach out to your child's teachers with any questions or concerns. Please see the assessment dates here.

Are you ready to start to planning for an amazing 2026-2027 school year? Use this Sign Up Sheet from  F3 PTO and Athletic Booster to let them know what you may be interested in helping with next year: https://signup.com/go/JyiaChZ
