Dear CIS Families,

This week is the week of Balloon Fiesta and traffic will be challenging to navigate.  Please see the Traffic Permit (one per family) which was sent home with your child on Friday.  This will allow passage to the school should any roads be closed due to the Balloon Fiesta. According to DOT there are no planned road closures during school. This is not a pass into the Balloon Fiesta Park or any of their parking.

Instruction will not begin this week until 9:00 am to allow for traffic delays.  Students will be received as early as 7:30am if needed.

Wednesday is our Balloon Fun Family Day! Please come at 6:30 am, have some refreshments and watch the mass ascension (7:00am) from our facility.  Fun balloon-related classroom activities will begin at 9:00 am and families are encouraged to stay and get in on the fun.  Please feel free to stay for lunch-our caterer, Nama Catering has added a $5 parent lunch option on this day!  Please order online and pay here at CIS.  Come and be a part of this new tradition for CIS!

All students will be dismissed on Wednesday at 12:30pm. 

Remember that we have no school on Friday, October 10th and will return to school on Monday, October 13th.

We look forward to a fun-filled week as CIS!

Dear Families of our 9th, 10th and 11th grade students: 

The Preliminary SAT (PSAT) exam will be administered this fall on Wednesday October 15, 2014 at 1:30 pm. All 9th, 10th, 11th and 12thgrade students are eligible to take this exam that will be administered here at CIS. There is a $14 fee for all students taking the test and 11th graders can apply for a waiver.  There are a limited number of tests available at CIS so please indicate your interest early by contacting me via email: newcomer-millerj@corralesis.org Checks must be made out to CIS and given to me prior to Oct 13, 2014. 

Below is a bit more information related to the PSAT along with some helpful links. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me. Most importantly, for 11th graders, the PSAT serves as the National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test for students entering college in the fall of 2016.

Here is more information:

The PSAT/NMSQT assesses the critical reading, mathematics, and writing skills students need for college and beyond. Find out what the test is like and try practice questions.
