The waning days of summer are certainly upon us. The sunflowers are in full-bloom, and very soon the Ferris wheel will rise above the New York State Fairgrounds. The building has been bustling with activity all summer long…teachers have been attending workshops, our custodians have been polishing and painting, and our guidance department has been solidifying our master schedule. We are eagerly awaiting the return of our students! The 2012-2013 school year has brought several staffing changes. Please join me in welcoming the new additions to CMS:

If you have not previously done so,
please take a moment to register for our School New Notifier (SNN). The
directions are included in the mailing that came home on the green sheet of paper. This is
the best way to remain informed about all the news at CMS. As many of you may
know, we have discontinued the use of MyGradeBook, but we are replacing it with
a better program known as SchoolTool. As soon as we are up and running I will
be sending directions for how to view student grades on-line using SchoolTool –
stay tuned to SNN! I cannot wait to
greet your child on September 5th!
Take care,
Beth Lozier
Principal
