CM News
October 1
Registration is now open. It will close on October 31 at 11:59 pm. Get your students in roster now, so that the state office can begin procedure to start an account for the parents. This way when it's time to register, they are in the system.

October 31
End of Registration

Date to be determined
There is a make up questionnaire that will be taken care of by the CM Council. I will send the link and you do the exam on-line and get graded by them. Then they will inform me if you passed, so that I can unblock you. I will have a second meeting, a make up, where you can view the video provided by the CM Council. It is chockful of information, especially for the new members. I am also there to discuss branch procedure and answer questions. I will do this when I get back from Sicily! Right now, teachers who intend to come want the second week of October. I will contact you personally.

November 1
Parents begin to pay CM registration through Paypal. The teachers must send me the student list from on-line PLUS the volunteer agreement.

November 11
Deadline to pay by the parents. Please remind your parents. Any incomplete registrations will be wiped from the system.

November 12
Due date to send me your student list and volunteer agreement. Otherwise, I will not schedule your students for an appointment for CM in February/March
