Principal's Updates
Dear CFMS Families,
Next week is all about connectedness!
Promote school and community spirit
: Each day we will wear an outfit based on the Student Council themes for Spirit Week. Friday we will all show off our Tiger Pride!
Bond with new people:
We will host a breakfast for brand new students and Curriculum Night for parents.
Honor:
We will acknowledge First Responders in a special way on Patriot's Day.
Each first responder on 9/11 walked 1,980 stairs to help those in the World Trade Center twin towers. As an honor to those men and women in New York City that day and across the US everyday, we at CFMS may pledge to walk 1,980 steps on Patriot’s Day. Please encourage your child to pledge in homeroom and plan to participate at home and/or school. For those participating, the outdoor track at Harris Stadium will be open at recess.
Empathize:
Students will be engaged in an assembly with
Jim Basketball Jones entitled, "I've Got Your Back" which will encourage
students to have the strength and belief in themselves not to surrender their pride, self-worth nor dignity to people that are unkind. Secondly, to examine our words, as they are a reflection of who we are and we must respect ourselves and treat others with kindness.
Students are more likely to engage in positive behaviors and succeed academically when they feel connected to school. We look forward to these events and appreciate the support from you!
Proud to be a Tiger,
Laila Discenza

Important Info For Families
Reporting Student Absences?
Please report all absences by calling the attendance line 440/247-4790 by 8 a.m. This will ensure that we have accurate information regarding the location and safety of your child. When students are well enough to work on assignments they can check google classroom. Items can be sent home with another child or picked up by a parent by calling the office.
Appointments during the school day?
Please send your child to school with a note and have them turn it in to the staff member on duty in the cafe in the morning. They will be given a pass to come to the lobby and sign out at the time you want to pick them up. Be sure to bring a note back from the doctors office to hand in to the office verifying the appointment. If you schedule an appointment after your child has already left for school, call the office and we will get the pass to them.
Dropping off items from home?
Please bring them to the lobby with their first and last name printed clearly on the item. Students with after school items will be called at the end of the day. Students with items needed during the school day will be called between classes. If your child is aware you are dropping off the item write on it DON'T CALL. This will limit the number of students who need to be called over the P.A. between classes. During these first few weeks of the new school year, help your child exercise their executive function skills and review their planner in the evening and pack items needed for the school day in the back pack before going to bed. Locker rooms are staffed in the morning for students to store after school needs in lockers until the final bell of the day. Athletes may want to consider bringing empty water bottles with them and use our water bottle filling stations to fill them with fresh cold water before practices and games.
