We hope Spring Break was a relaxing and fun week that allowed our Warriors to get rested and rejuvenated as we move through the rest of April and into May. It's hard to believe that we are into the final stretch of the school year. What a great year it has been! The next six weeks will be busy as third through fifth grade students participate in Georgia Milestones testing, Kindergarten Registration opens, Teacher & Staff Appreciation Week, Field Days, Awards Days, and so much more take place. We look forward to finishing the school year strong.

We appreciate our family support at Spirit Nights this year. We have just a few remaining... next week join us for Spirit Night at Dairy Queen in Oakwood on April 20th, as they are a NEW Partner in Education for CMCSI! On May 7th, our partner The Dojo is hosting their first CMCSI Parents Night Out... more information is coming. Our final Spirit Night is May 13th at Sliced in Oakwood, another new Partner to CMCSI. We look forward to seeing you at our final events!

We hope you have a wonderful week! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter @CMCSIWarriors to keep up with all of the amazing happenings at CMCSI and see pictures of our students and staff too. Feel free to contact us if you ever need anything.

Please remember, if you would like for your child to be enrolled in virtual school next year, students MUST apply for the district Program of Choice (this is the ONLY option for virtual enrollment next year). The deadline to apply to the Virtual Program of Choice is THIS FRIDAY, April 19, 2021. Go to https://www.hallco.org/web/hcsd-virtual-program/ for application information.

• Parents, please make every effort to have your child here at school before 7:45 AM each day. If you are dropping your child off after the school day has started, please be sure to pull up to the breezeway, stop your car, walk your child to the front door, ring the "buzzer" and wait for a front office staff member to meet you there. We want to be sure and keep our Warriors safe, so please do not drop students off unattended, as the front doors of the school are locked this year, and staff may not see your child outside once drop-off has ended.

• Be sure to have your car rider tag hanging up each day when picking up your child in the car rider line. If you need a new car rider tag, please send an email to cmcsi@hallco.org and we will be happy to print you a new one.

Spirit Nights

• CMCSI Spirit Nights take place each month! If your family visits the restaurant or drive-thru on our CMCSI Spirit Night, a portion of the sales will be donated to the school! Mark your calendar for these:

  • • • April 20 @ Dairy Queen in Oakwood

      • May 7 @ Dojo- CMCSI Parents Night Out

      • May 13 @ Sliced in Oakwood

Masks & Face Coverings

• Be sure to send your child to school with a mask or face covering each day AND send an extra in his/her backpack, as we know masks sometimes can be lost, broken, soiled, etc.

Bottled Water for Classrooms

• Since our water fountains cannot be used this year, we provide bottled water for students who forget their water bottles. If you would like to donate a case of water (regular sized OR small bottles are great too!) to your child's classroom or the front office, we would appreciate it!

Wipes & Hand Sanitizer

• Please continue to send hand sanitizer and disinfecting wipes (like Clorox wipes) for our classrooms. Please consider donating to your child's classroom, our Media Center, gym, Computer Lab, etc. We appreciate your help!
