Hello CCSMS Families,

Middle school scholars will have MAP testing this week.  Please encourage them to try their best and help them get a good night's sleep.

Please make plans to join us for STEM Night next next Thursday from 5:30pm to 7pm.  Please remember, scholars must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to attend, unless they are signed up with a teacher to be hosting an activity or volunteering with their club. We will also be welcoming some of our new Riptide families on Thursday evening, please introduce yourself!

Please remember to take a look at the calendar for the 2024-25 school year. There may be some minor additions, but this is based on the CCSD calendar. The first day of school for next school year is Tuesday, August 13th. We will have our "Walk your Schedule" event for returning scholars on Monday, August 12th.

Sincerely,

The CCSMS Admin Team

Some simple ways to get involved:

• • Sign up to help with PTO's Teacher Appreciation this month at their faculty meeting. Donations or set up help the day of the event is greatly appreciated.

  • Join us online on Facebook

  • Link those Harris Teeter cards to our school – our #7617 and add CCSMS to your to your Publix account.

This is a reminder to please use the designated drop-off area at the back of the school in the car loop only. 

Here are some tips for who it reach out to with questions, ideas, or concerns:

• If you need an individual meeting with your scholar's teacher please reach out to them directly via email to set up a meeting time or a phone call. Teachers should respond within 24 hours during the work week.  We do not expect them to respond in the evening or on the weekends. Their email should be in the course syllabus sent home last week.
• If you have questions about logging into PowerSchool, bus transportation, or other front office related matters, please email the front office and someone will respond to you.
• If you have general questions about middle school, Mrs. Carter is the Assistant Principal for middle school at CCSMS, and is always happy to help guide you and answer questions.
• If you have general questions about high school, Mrs. Clark is our Interim Assistant Principal for high school this year while Mr. Thompson is away serving our country in the National Guard.
• Our school counselors are Mrs. Domin for high school and Ms. Nguyen for middle school.  They can help with course selection, adjusting to middle school or high school, and other resources your scholar may need to be successful.
• If you have questions about your scholar's IEP or 504 plan, Mrs. Cannon can assist you.
• For attendance, records, address/email/phone number updates, Operoo, admissions, and enrollment, please reach out to Andrea Woolum. 
• Mrs. Frasier, our lead principal, can assist you if an issue is not resolved at the teacher or administrative team level. She handles all of our day to day operations.
• Mrs. Carmichael, our Executive Principal, can assist  you if you have an issue you need to discuss that impacts the overall functioning of the school.
• Mr. Bert Hudnall, our college advisor,  is an experienced and well-respected and will work to assist with developing self-sustaining college counseling programs. 
• If you have an appeal of an administrator decision, there is a formal process to bring that issue to the board. You can reach the board members to start that process.
