Ms. Robin Ribarich, guidance counselor at CCMS, is our Employee of the Month for September.  Ms. Ribarich excels at all aspects in her role as guidance counselor.  This past month she devoted significant time to entering students into our master schedule and making sure we were ready to start the 2014-15 school year.  Ms. Ribarich consistently goes above and beyond to serve our students at CCMS, and we are recognizing her work by naming her our September Employee of the Month!

Meet the Teacher Night

Our annual Meet the Teacher Night will be held this Wednesday, August 27th at the middle school.  There will be a meeting for parents in the auditorium beginning around 6:30 where Mr. Santini, the school principal, will talk about some of the initiatives taking place this school year.  We will have copies of your child's schedule available for you to pick up when you arrive.  You will follow their day 1 schedule.  At 7:00 p.m. parents will be released from the auditorium to go through their child's schedule and meet each of their teachers.  Each class period will run for about 8 minutes, with 3 minutes in between for travel time to the next class.  The event will end around 8:30 p.m.  We highly encourage you to attend, and hope to see you here tomorrow night!

Teacher Appreciation Week

Tuesday, May 6th is Teacher Appreciation Day, part of a week of appreciation for America's teachers.  If you like the job that one or more of your child's teachers has done in the classroom this year, take a few minutes to write them an email, send or note, or give them a positive word of encouragement.  It means a lot to a good teacher to hear feedback from a satisfied customer.  Thank you!

Box Tops for Education - Round 3 Results

The third and final round of our Box Tops For Education collection competition came to a close on this past Friday.  It was the closest competition yet, with our top 3 classes separated by less than 200 box tops.  Mrs. Urbassik's first period class emerged victorious.  Overall, students collected over 6,000 box tops in this last round.  These box tops will turn into a pile of new books that will be added to our library and used to enhance our collection.  This will bring added variety and diversity to the books our students can use with our Accelerated Reader program.  Thank you to all of our students, teachers, and parents who have consistently participated in this contest over the past two years.
