I am so excited to be welcoming your child this Thursday! Middle school is a unique and wonderful time in a student’s career. They are identifying interests and friend groups while reflecting and learning about themselves.  As a school we support this by establishing structures like teaming, incorporating interdisciplinary units and flexible grouping opportunities, allowing for service learning and community partnerships, providing multiple assessment avenues and by supporting character development. It is important that we have caring adults that believe in providing authentic and well-rounded learning opportunities for this special clientele. We balance teaching curriculum with responsibility and fun. 

2021-2022 Bell Schedule

All class schedules are posted in the Infinite Campus portal (with locker number). Students will follow Thursday's schedule for the first day of school. They will receive their planner and take home folder during Tiger Period Advisory. Students will also hear an opening presentation with building "Return and Reset' information during that class.

CFMS/CFHS (map) Thank you Safe Routes and PTO!

Students may enter through the cafeteria doors beginning at 7:30am and they may stay in the courtyard, as well. Students will not take temperatures upon entry but symptom checking prior to coming to school is a recommended habit. Students will be dismissed to hallways at 7:35am. At that time the front doors and IC doors will be opened. Students must be in their first class for attendance by 7:40am.

The dismissal bell rings at 2:50pm. Bus riders may exit out the front doors and cafe doors. Car riders and walkers are urged to exit the IC and front doors, to limit doorway congestion.

Athletes may enter the locker rooms from 7:35am-7:40am each morning. A supervisor will open and close daily. They will be opened again after school at 2:50pm.

Bus routes (address, number, time, location) are posted on the district website. The routes will be password protected. Please contact the Transportation Department with any questions.
