Core Value: Belonging 

We had another great week at CPMA. Students and teachers are building relationships and we are seeing creativity and energy in our classrooms.  Thank you parents for all your support of our students and programs. Our core value focus this fall is belonging, students are learning staff names, building relationships with new friends, and learning about their art pathways. 

ALL PE and DANCE classes will begin dressing out Monday, August 26th. Please make sure your students bring their PE and DANCE clothes. 

We will have a 7th grade Assembly on Friday, August 30th to review expectations and share some school spirit!
