Note from the CCSMS Administration |
|
Dear CCSMS Families,
Thank you for helping ensure your scholar is Respectful, Responsible, and Ready to Learn! we have had many compliments from others when our scholars are on field trips or visiting campus. We appreciate your partnership in having high expectations for our scholars. At the basketball games this past week, our scholars have been showing their Riptide Pride as well! They have been kind to our guests and helped out when needed.
Progress reports have been dropped in the mail. Please review them with your scholar and contact their teachers for a meeting if needed. Our teachers are happy to work with you on identifying some strategies to help your child be successful. Remember, our semester 1 classes for high school do not have their final exams until after the holiday break due to how the calendar falls. Please remind them to make use of this extra time to study as finals are 20% of their final grade.
All the best,
Mrs. Carmichael
Executive Principal and CEO
