ATLAS Interim Assessment: September 28-October 2.

The ATLAS Interim Assessment is coming up the week of September 28–October 2! Every lesson, assignment, and opportunity to practice helps prepare our students prepare for success. Encourage your child to pay attention, participate, ask questions, complete their work, and review what they have learned.
During testing week, support your child's success by ensuring they get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast, arrive on time, read each question carefully, use their scratch paper, and do their best — even when the questions are challenging! Remember: we have been training for this, and now it’s time to run our race!

CKH Character Trait of the Month: Empathy.

The CKH character trait for September is empathy. Empathy means trying to understand how someone else feels and seeing things from their point of view.
You can show empathy by listening, being kind, and thinking about how your words or actions might make someone feel. Before you judge or react, pause and ask yourself, “How would I feel if I were in their shoes?” Small acts of understanding and kindness can make a big difference to someone else.

CFMS House Colors Wednesdays:

Please wear your house colors each Wednesday.
