Parents and Guardians:
Please mark your calendars for our fall parent-teacher conferences on Thursday, October 10th from 1:00 to 7:00. Here at CMMS we use a model of student-led conferences and we encourage you to bring your CMMS student with you on that day.
CMMS is thrilled to announce the creation of several after school clubs for our students. These clubs will begin on October 1st, and will run on Tuesdays and/or Thursdays from 2:30-4:00. We are working on being able to provide a late bus for transportation at two drop off points in Bangor but that has not been finalized at this point. Here is a list of our offerings so far:
Student Athlete Success Club - held on Tuesdays and Thursdays and supervised by Mr. Lynch. This club is for our student athletes that want to keep their grades up and work on some of the skills in their particular sport
Greek Mythology Club - held on Thursdays and supervised by Mrs. Dutkiewicz. This club will study the Greek Gods and Goddesses as well as read books and watch movies on the topic.
Water Heroes Club - held on Thursdays and supervised by Mrs. Windiate. This club will host activities to support the cleanup of the Great Lakes and the oceans.
Animation Club - held on Tuesdays and supervised by Mrs. Rogers. This club will create a YouTube channel where they will post school appropriate videos and animations.
Dungeons and Dragons Club - held on Tuesdays and supervised by Mr. Miller. This club will play the game of Dungeons and Dragons.
Sign up lists for these clubs are posted on the windows outside of the main office. We must have at least 10 students to run each club and there can be no more than 20 students per club.
Stay tuned for more after school clubs and after school activities. If you have any questions about our new after school clubs please contact the main office at 686-7640.

Parents/Guardians:
We wanted to pass along some helpful information and directions to all of you on how to access the online lesson plan books for your child's teachers here at CMMS. If you ever need to know a brief summary of what was covered in a particular class on a certain day, or if you need an extra copy of a handout/worksheet, or if you simply need to check what happened in class while your child was absent, you can go to the link found below to access all of that information. All of our teachers here at CMMS use an online lesson plan book that you have access to and it is a great way to keep track of what your child is learning and it is a great communication tool between teachers and parents. The link to each teachers’ plan book will be found below their contact information on the staff directory page. If you have any issues accessing the links to these plan books please call the main office at 686-7640.

This is just a friendly reminder about our drop off and pick up procedures at the beginning and end of each school day. If everyone follows these guidelines it makes for a much smoother experience for all. Drop offs in the morning must take place in the student drop off loop. Do not drop off students in the parking lot. There is also no picking up of students along the sidewalk in the parking lot after school. Please see the attached map for more information. Please share!
CMMS Students and Parents: Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow, August 27th is our first day of school for the 2019-2020 school year. The building will open at 6:55 for drop off and the warning bell to start the day rings at 7:25. First classes begin promptly at 7:30 and the last bell rings at 2:20. Just remember that we will be following a Monday/Friday schedule for the first three days of school this week. If you were unable to attend registration please make sure your CMMS student brings the registration form that came in the mail with the August newsletter. Please make sure you double check your schedule in Skyward as there have been a few minor adjustments to schedules at the end of last week. Our counselor will be in the library for any students that have lost their schedule.
Parents & Students:
Due the balancing/leveling of all classes, there have been some schedule changes. Please make sure to check skyward prior to coming to school on August 27 to make sure you have the most up to date schedule. Sorry for any inconveniences this may cause.
Reminder: Girls Basketball for grades 6-8 has an open gym Thursday (8/22) at the MS 6:30-8:00. Tryouts are Monday and Tuesday at the same time and place. Physicals and pay to participate fees are due to the HS athletic office or turned in at tryouts before you can participate.
