Dear Parents,
We can't believe it is May and the end of the year is here. We have truly enjoyed working with your kids this year and will miss those who are moving up to the high school. We are looking forward to continuing with the current 7th graders as we welcome in a new group of CMS students from Durham.
We hope you can take some time to enjoy the last few weeks of school, and have a wonderful summer.

How can my child meet with their counselor?
There are several ways students can see us:

We meet with students for many reasons:
1. Academic - Performance, struggles, test taking strategies, study skills etc.
2. Friendship/ Peer/Social Concerns
3. Personal Concerns

If you have a concern and you would like for a counselor to meet with your child, please contact your child's grade level counselor via email or phone.

Lost & Found
 Parents-
Lost and found items are piling up again. Please have your child check for anything that is misplaced. All articles will be donated at the end of May.
Cell Phone Use in School Zones
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
Dress Code Reminders:
If girls wear leggings, the top worn with them must be knuckle length.
If she wears shorts, a dress or a skirt, these items must be at least knuckle length.
Thank you for helping our students follow the district dress code.
Please review the full Dress Code in the Student Handbook.

Summer Animal Fostering
 Animals may be checked out for the months of June, and July. It will be the responsibility of you and your child to provide quality care for the animal(s), as if they were your own. This includes food, water, bedding or litter, and attention. I will provide students with the animal, cage, and care instructions, but other supplies will need to
be purchased to care for the animal over the break. Not all students will get an animal or their first choices, so make sure you are willing to care for any of the animals you choose. Also, please do not sign up to take an animal if you will be away for more than 2 days with no one to care for the animal. If you are going on vacation but would still like to check out an animal please put that information on the form and we will arrange another time to pick-up or drop off, if available.
Additional points to consider:
1) If the animal becomes injured due to your care, seek veterinary attention immediately and take care of the
cost as if this were your own pet. If the animal becomes sick while in your care (lethargic, sneezing, acting
strangely, etc) we will coordinate a time to meet and I will take it to the vet so that Animal Science covers the
bill. We use Southlake Animal Hospital for the veterinary care of all the animals.
2) For Summer Break we will be adopting out: all mammals, birds which we can separate into groups of 2-3,
and most reptiles/ amphibians (except outside tortoises and fully aquatic reptiles/ amphibians).
3) If you adopt an animal that has two to a cage, they come together. Some of the cages are quite large and
need to be able to fit in your vehicle. Please contact me if you need measurements to check if it will fit in your
vehicle.
4) Mammals will need bedding while in your care and many mammals/birds/reptiles need 'extra' food such as
salad veggies and fruits. I will supply some mealworms or crickets, but you will have to purchase more (pet
stores typically carry these), and I will supply frozen rodents for snakes.
Use the following form to fill out which animal(s) your child is willing to adopt. The form also requires student
and parent information, along with your preferred pick-up date and time, so please read over it carefully. Some
animals must be returned for summer camp.
Drop off times for those animals is:
June 26 or 28
9:00 a.m. -12:00 p.m.
Pick up:
July 18
3:00-4:00 p.m.
or
July 19
10:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
All animals must be returned
August
2
9:00 a.m.-12:00 p.m.
Have a parent fill out the google form - link above or scan the QR code to the right.
You may sign up for multiple animals and multiple months.
Thank you for your support of the Animal Science Program and for giving the animal(s) a wonderful home over the school break. I will send a confirmation letter home the week of May 13, and a care sheet will be available at pick-up.
Sincerely ~ 
Susan Cortez
