Reminder: Complete Parent Satisfaction Survey by Monday! 

We need your input as we continue to identify areas to improve our programs. You should have received an email with a link to a survey for each school your children attend (K-6th, 7th-8th, and/or 9th-12th).  Please answer the questions in each survey according to that specific school. You need only fill out one survey per school. If you have more than one child in each school, you will be asked to answer teacher specific questions for each child.  If you have not received an email with these surveys, please email Janet.Dinnen@cmca12.com.  Please complete the parent satisfaction survey(s) by Monday, April 30th

Junior High Dance  

The last jr. high dance is May 4th, from 7:00-9:30 p.m.  The theme is "Back to the Future," and students students should come dressed in costumes from other time periods, such as another decade, not the present (i.e., Medieval times or the Fifties).  Costumes do not have to be complicated--rolled jeans, scarves, flared/bell bottom pants work well.  Students can only wear jeans if they are part of a costume.  Students may still attend not in costume, but they need to follow the high school dress code.
