New Social Studies Standards
What do you think our students should know about social studies? The Nebraska Department of Education has released a draft of the Nebraska Social Studies Standards and would love to hear from you! The standards provide the framework for what students are expected to know about social studies, and your feedback will help make improvements to the standards before they are adopted. The survey should take less than ten minutes to complete for each grade level selected. To complete the survey, use this link:

Parents,
Below is the spring assessment schedule for CMS. As you can see, I tried not to schedule testing on Mondays and Fridays in an effort to improve student attendance during these assessments. Here are a few things that parents can do to help their children do well on these tests:

CMS: 2-Hour Late Start and Modified Schedule for 2/28 and 3/1
Dear Parents,
We cancelled school today because when I checked classrooms early this morning, the building was about 40 degrees. We needed the day to plan an alternate schedule and to procure space heaters for classrooms. The second pump should be here on Friday, so hopefully things will be back to normal next week. Thank you for your understanding and support.
