The Office
Drop-Off Procedures:
Please read the short reminder below about carpool drop-off and pick-up procedures to prevent slowed down and backed up lines.
In the mornings:
Please pull forward PAST the front door to the orange cone down the sidewalk before stopping to let your child out. There is an awning all the way down the sidewalk, so even if it's raining, students won't get wet. When parents stop right in front of the door, it backs up the car line and the process goes MUCH slower. If your child is injured or is on crutches, you may certainly stop in front of the entrance. Otherwise, PLEASE pull forward to the cone (or to the car in front of you).
In the afternoons:
Please follow the same procedure for the afternoon...except that we ask you to pull ALL THE WAY forward to the very end of the sidewalk (or to the car in front of you). The more cars we get pulled up along the walkway, the FASTER the process goes.
We would greatly appreciate your help (and so would the parents who ARE following the guidelines). We all have the same goal....a SAFE and speedy carpool process. Please help up by doing your part to make that happen. Thank you so much!
Dress Code:
Please help us by monitoring your child's outfit each day. You can find the CMS Dress Code in the Student Handbook posted on our website under
"Information".
Here are a few of the main points:
*Shorts and skirts must be longer than fist length with arms down to the side.
*Tank tops are not allowed, but "sleeveless" tops that extend to the shoulder are fine.
*Undergarments, (including bra straps) are not to be visible at any time.
Please review the full Dress Code in the Student Handbook.
