Good Morning Families of 7th grade and 8th grade only, If your child left belongings in their PE locker last school year before they left due to the closing of schools for Distance Learning, please come pick up those belongings in front of the school between 9:30 am and 1:00 pm today and Thursday of this week.

Here are some tips to help students and to ensure a positive experience for all online classroom participants:

Good Evening Cougar Family, We are off to a great start! This Thursday, August 20th at 5:30 pm, we will be having a virtual Back to School Night! It will be in the form of prerecorded videos, not live. On the CMS website homepage, you will see a link for the Back to School Night PowerPoint presentation. In this link, you will see a bitmoji of your student’s teacher. Look for this cartoon version of your child's teacher, specific grade level, and subject (i.e. 6th Grade Math, 7th Grade Language Arts, etc.). Click on the link for your student’s period/class under the teacher’s name. The link will take you to a YouTube video created by the teacher. You can watch your child's teachers' recorded videos later as well if necessary.

Good Morning and Happy Friday! School begins at 8:50 this morning and every Friday!..Have a great day!

Good evening CMS families, this is Mr. Morales. I want to welcome you to the 20-21 school year. While it may be a different start of the year, we hope that your child will be able to thrive and learn like previous CMS students. Distance Learning will bring some challenges, but also opportunities. I want to start by saying thank you to everyone for their patience as we get the year going. It will get better and we will get through it together. I wanted to share a few things that might help as we travel down this Distance Learning journey. If tech problems arise and your student cannot log-in on a certain day, just let the office know. Your student needs to remember to log-in with their full name into Zoom or the teacher will not let them in. We are attempting to prevent unauthorized people interrupting instruction. If you are waiting for a device from the district, please know they are working diligently to get devices out. Everyone should have one by early next week. To help you stay up to date with information, please make sure you download our new app, CSD 91730. Back to School Night will be next Thursday, August 20th. We will send out information on how you can access the presentations. Finally, we are serving meals on Mondays and Wednesdays for CMS students from 11 to 12:30. Students will need their temporary lunch cards to get their meals. We hope you stay safe and well during this time. Blessings.

Good Morning Cougar Families, We're off to a great start and we are about to begin Day 2. Hopefully most are able to log in to their virtual classes by now. If you are still unable to log in, please email me at lrush@csd.k12.ca.us and we can assist you and to answer any questions you may have. Have a great day! Your CMS Admin Team

Good Afternoon! Parents, if your child has band and orchestra on his/her schedule of classes, it is the only elective that is NOT a study hall. If your child has Band or Orchestra, please click on the Zoom link in Clever to meet with Ms. Mizerak, our Director of Music, during class time. *The only Band class that IS a Study Hall is the Beginning Band for 7/8th graders; those students do not check-in during that period (it says, "Study Hall" on their schedules).

Good Morning! We just wanted to clarify that your students do not need to check-in with a teacher for their "Study Hall" period. No attendance will be taken for Study Hall; it is an opportunity for students to get their homework done and complete some silent reading. When we return to school campus (eventually), their Study Hall period will become an Elective class.

Hello CMS parents, We have began our 1st day of school online. Your student should have logged into their email or Clever to join their classes. If you are still having problems, please call the school to assist you. Reminder to please have your child use their FULL name when they enter the class in Zoom (very important). If you asked for a district device and have not heard back, please be aware that the district office is working diligently to ensure your student receives their device as soon as possible. If your student was not able to log in, please call the office to report this absence. Take a deep breath and we will get through this together! Ms. Rush

Good Morning, Welcome to the 20-21 school year! School begins in our virtual classrooms at 8 am. If you are still having troubles logging in, please email me at lrush@csd.k12.ca.us or call the office at 909-987-1788. We are in this together and let's have a great year!!
