Happy New Year CMCSI families! We hope everyone had a wonderful break and that the new year is off to a great start for each of you. We are looking forward to a terrific second semester of learning. Although our second semester has begun through blended learning and will continue with blended learning from home next week as well, we are excited to stay connected with students via Zoom and Canvas. Please remember to have students log on to Canvas each day to complete their assignments. Teachers will also be leading Zoom sessions with students and would love to have all students attend daily. Our teachers & staff are working hard to make sure our students continue to learn and grow everyday- even from home. We're excited to continue virtual learning with those students who have chosen to be virtual second semester and look forward to staying connected with them as well.
