State of Texas traffic laws are enforceable in school zones as well. Please remember to be hands free while on the phone this includes texting.
 
If you have complaints or concerns, please contact Officer Roberson 817-949-5414.

Traffic
There have been several complaints about vehicles turning in front of waiting vehicles on Kirkwood Blvd. before or after school.
The far right lane must continue straight and not turn in front of vehicles waiting to the left trying to turn to get into the drop off / pick up line.
 
Remember from drivers ed - two lines that intersect have a point of impact. Officers will be issuing citations for this violation.
If you are needing to park in the parking lot you must either wait or turn in the parking lot from the east side traveling west.

Any questions on this please contact Officer Roberson 817-949-5414

Laptop Covers
We still have hard-shell laptop covers (green only) available for purchase for $20.
Please see Mrs. Gulliver or Mrs. Brett in the front office to purchase one.

You can go to the CMS website and donate under the PTSO link or drop off money in the front office. All donations will benefit CMS students and staff.  PLEASE DONATE!!

Monthly Luncheon
This month's luncheon theme was "Baby It's Cold Outside" and staff was served soups, salads, baked potatoes and, as always sweet treats. Our generous hostesses were Hyke Link, Ashley Stern, Alicia Wagner, and Britta Wert.  Last, in honor of School Board Appreciation Month, Sheri Mills, Michelle Moore, and Dave Almand joined us for the meal.

Box Tops
Keep collecting BoxTops.  Turn the ones you have from summer in a baggie with your students' name on it to the front office.
