As part of our continued commitment to student safety, students will now enter the school building upon arrival rather than waiting or gathering outside before the school day begins. Students arriving by bus will transition directly from their buses into the building, and our school team will have supervision and routines in place to support their arrival. Doors will open for all students at: 7:35am.
For those families that drop students off or have students walk to school, please be mindful that students should not be dropped off or walk to school prior to the time doors open as there will be limited supervision prior to when our doors officially open for students.
We recognize that this may look different from our procedures in previous years. We will work with students to help them understand the new routine and where they should report upon entering the building.
Talk with your young person today about how they are getting to school on the first day. Consider a trial run and check out the resources below. Contact us with any questions - we are here to help.
- Please review the map below carefully as you review with your child and those taking them to and from school and read the key points below.
- The Bus loop is for School Buses only.
- Please only drop off and pick up in the designated areas and follow all traffic laws, signs and school personnel’s instructions.
- Drop Off: Please follow the directions of the staff members and only drop off where directed. We want to ensure that students that are dropped off have immediate access to a crosswalk.
- Pickup: Please wait for your child at the median or in your car. Do not cross over to the front of CMS. We need to keep this area only for bus riders. Students are being directed to walk across the cross walk to be picked up. Please help us to reinforce this with students.
- Pickup and drop off are only occurring in the main parking lot. The smaller parking lot is only for staff parking. If a car is there to pick up, the student and driver will be directed to main parking lot.
- Staff will be posted at arrival and dismissal to support walkers, car riders and bus riders.
- CMS’ School Day begins at 7:50am and school is open to students from 7:35am. School finishes at 2:35pm
Please contact the office with questions - we are here to support you.
