CMHS Friends, This week, we say goodbye to our seniors as they wrap up their final days at CMHS. It’s a week filled with emotion—not just for our students, but for their families as well. We encourage everyone to take a moment to reflect, celebrate, and most of all, enjoy this special time. At the same time, our underclassmen are quickly approaching the end of the semester. Parents, please keep a close eye on your student’s grades. This is a critical time, especially for those in core classes. As a reminder, underclassmen who fail a core class will be recommended for summer school to stay on track for graduation. The final exam schedule and exemption requirements are included in this newsletter. Please take a few minutes to review this information with your student so there are no surprises as we wrap up the school year. Let’s finish strong!
