CMCSI will be hosting Holiday Lunches for our Warrior families on December 3rd (3rd & 4th grades), December 4th (1st and 2nd grades), and December 5th (Kindergarten & 5th grades). Students are invited to have 2 guests join them for a Holiday Meal prepared by our cafeteria staff on their assigned day. Each student can host a maximum of 2 visitors to eat with them for their Holiday Lunch (due to limited seating). Lunch is $5.00 per visitor. Cash only and exact change is appreciated.
Visitors will pay at the door. All visitors must bring state-issued I.D. to eat lunch at CMCSI. Remember to arrive early to sign in at the Front Office and purchase lunch tickets. We will send the lunch times and assigned tables for each class closer to the dates. We are looking forward to this festive time with our Warrior families!
Our PTO has graciously purchased hats for all of our students in an effort to support Reading and Math growth. We are excited to distribute these to students to celebrate their reading and math growth this year. Please see the details below.
On Thursday, January 9th, homeroom teachers will give out hats prior to MARC awards. Students may wear the hats for the remainder of the day and then take them home.
On March 24th and in May (Friday before the week of final awards), all students will bring their hats to school and wear their hats. Students who have met their reading and/or math goals will receive a button for each subject area to add to their hat. PTO is ordering the buttons and these will be distributed prior to these days mentioned.
The students are responsible for keeping up with their hats. They will wear them to school on designated days (3 this year).
Students who lose their hats will have an option to purchase a new hat. They must keep up with them each year.
We appreciate the support of volunteers at CMCSI! Hall County Schools and CMCSI continue to make the safety of our students a priority. In order to keep our students safe, ALL volunteers must complete an application and training BEFORE volunteering at CMCSI this school year. Once BOTH steps are completed, volunteers will be notified of approval within 2 weeks of submitting their application. Approval must be received BEFORE any volunteer time is approved.
Please visit this link to complete the Checkmate Application AND the Mandated Reporter training (Keyword: HallVolunteers) Be sure to "Apply for New Role" to complete the Application.
Volunteers must have a pre-arranged appointment with teachers or staff to assist at CMCSI. Please sign-up to volunteer for school-wide events (Walk-a-thon, Field Day, etc.) with PTO here.
Volunteers must sign-in at the front office with ID and wear a badge while in the building. ONLY volunteers who have completed the required questionnaire and Mandated Reporter training will have the option to sign-in to volunteer on the kiosk.
Volunteers must follow any required safety procedures in effect at CMCSI, which are subject to change.
Volunteers should not visit CMCSI if they feel unwell, have a fever, or exhibit symptoms of COVID-19.
Volunteers may not bring siblings, children or other visitors with them into CMCSI.
Volunteers are Mandated Reporters as defined by the State of Georgia. All volunteers are required by state law to report suspected abuse or neglect of children to school administration immediately.
Volunteers may not go to lunch, eat with their students, or visit the cafeteria during lunch times, without prior reservations, as visitor seating is limited. (Reservation information will be coming soon!)
Please email richard.bass@hallco.org with questions about volunteering!
For the safety of our students and staff, during morning drop-off for car-riders, all parents must remain in their car and go through the car-rider line. There is no walking students into school or to the front door, or sending students across the crosswalk. Parents are ONLY allowed to escort their child into the building if they are new to the school or have medication to drop-off. Please plan accordingly, and arrive early enough to go through the car-rider line.
Our tardy bell rings at 7:45 am each morning.
If students are late, parents will need to use the outdoor camera/call button. Students will be walked in by a staff member after notifying our front office using our intercom system. If no staff is at the drop-off point, parents must exit their vehicle and accompany their child to check them in.
Please have your child exit your car from the PASSENGER SIDE each day, for their safety.
Yearbook Sales are happening NOW. We only get a few copies to sell at the end of the year, so GUARANTEE your child's copy by ordering in advance. If you're interested in purchasing a CMCSI yearbook for your child, find information here.
For the safety of all students, please note the following:
For your child's lunch visit, 1 or 2 adults may join; No school-age siblings and younger children must be in lap or stroller (due to limited seats).
Each student may have a visit for lunch 1 time per month to allow ALL students and parents this opportunity.
Restaurant food will be allowed to be brought into CMCSI for students or visitors.
Visitors must sign in at the front office with a state-issued ID (no exceptions).
Lunch visitors should eat in the visitor seating area located in the gym lobby next to the cafeteria. Visitors may not eat in the cafeteria, gym or classroom.
After signing in and getting a sticker, lunch visitors will meet their child in the gym lobby as his/her class enters the cafeteria and sign-out in the main office after the lunch period ends.
Lunch visitors may not return to the classroom, playground, etc. with students.
Lunch visitors may have lunch with your child ONLY. Other students (including friends, relatives, and neighbors) cannot join your lunch visit.
Visitors may purchase lunch in the cafeteria for $5.00 each (cash or check only).
Lunch visitors must be listed on a student's enrollment card prior to coming in for lunch.
