Families, join us on Thursday for STEM Expo from 4pm to 6pm! 

• This is our family event for the Spring at CCSMS where we explore the STEMester activities our middle school and high school scholars have been diving into all year long. 
• There are going to be STEMtastic scholar displays, community partners, hands on activities, food trucks, and more. 
• Many scholars are actively participating in STEM Expo or will need to stay from 3pm to 4pm to meet their parent or guardian at school. We have plans in place to support those needs. We do not want any scholars staying if they need to get on the bus to get home though. A separate operoo form will be sent to families on Monday for parents and guardians to confirm their plans for Thursday afternoon.  

Everyday Reminders:

• Scholars should arrive in proper uniform and dress code.   
• Uniforms, navy sweatshirts, and navy sweaters are always welcome donations. 
• Scholars should have a backpack and a tightly sealed water bottle with them each day. 
• High school scholars and 8th graders should arrive at the first block with their Chromebooks fully charged. 
• All phones and personal electronic devices are to be stored in their Yondr pouches.

Dear CCSMS Families and Scholars,

We are looking forward to see our scholars after Spring Break. 

We are looking forward to seeing our families interested in attending the STEM Expo on Thursday from 4pm to 6pm. Scholars actively participating in STEM Expo will be staying with their teachers and staff after school.  A separate Operoo form will be sent on Monday to families to confirm if scholars are to stay at school and to confirm when a parent or guardian is meeting them.  

Thank you, 

The CCSMS Admin Team
