Parents/ Guardians & Teacher Communication

We encourage and support on-going communication between parents and teachers. The teacher is the first step to success and the best source of information regarding any concern with a course. If you would like to meet with your student's teachers, please contact your student's counselor or teachers directly.

Powerschool

PowerSchool allows parents, guardians, and students to check their grades and attendance. If you have never logged on to PowerSchool, please click here to find out how to access the program. You can add another student to your Powerschool portal by following these steps. If you forgot your password or need a reset, you should contact any of your student's current teachers. Counselors are not able to reset passwords.

PowerSchool also has a mobile app available through the App Store and Google Play. If the App prompts you for a Disctrict code, CMS's district code is: GJKX.

Attendance & Absences

Please send a note to our attendance secretary, Ms. Gartrell, to report your student's absence and the reason for the absence.

Regular attendance and punctuality are important from the beginning of the school year until the last day. Frequent absences and tardies interfere with your child's progress toward learning the necessary basic skills. Per our attendance policy, students can miss a maximum of ten blocks of each class.

Please empower your student to communicate with their teachers when they are absent in order to obtain make-up work. If your student will be absent for an extended period of time, please reach out to their counselor for assistance.
