Spring Fling
Spring Fling is less than 2 weeks away!

We can’t wait to see you and celebrate another great year. But we need some MAJOR help to pull this off! 

We will need day-of volunteers to help with set-up, run crafts, get covered in — oops! I mean serve - cotton candy, etc.  Please check out the Sign-Up Genius. Middle School IB students are welcome to help!

EOG Proctors
EOGs are coming! 

Grades 3-5 will participate in the End of Grades (EOGs) on the following dates:
May 24 - EOG Reading
May 25 - EOG Science (5th Grade Only)
May 26 - EOG Math

As we approach end-of-year testing of EOGs, please consider helping CMS schools to acquire much needed proctors. Family, friends, spouses, and community members who are registered with the LobbyGuard system can volunteer with your school test coordinator for one or more days to help ensure EOY testing goes off without a hitch!

To register to volunteer, you must visit www.cmsvolunteers.com.
