Attention Parents and Guardians,

Please remember that students are expected to come to school every day and on time, ready to learn. Consistent attendance and punctuality are essential for your child’s success.

No early dismissals will be permitted after 1:45 PM. We kindly ask that you avoid picking your child up early unless it is an emergency. Please make every effort to have your child remain at school for the entire school day so they do not miss valuable instructional time.

Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to your child’s education!

Parents, please take time to complete the Climate and Culture Parent Survey.

Thank you in advance.

Good afternoon Parents and Guardians,

We are excited to announce that the Crossing Over Ceremony will take place on Thursday, May 21. This ceremony is a special event to recognize and celebrate our students’ accomplishments throughout the school year.

On Friday, May 15, students who are eligible to participate in the ceremony will receive an official notice of participation. Please understand that participation is based on both academic standing and behavior expectations. Students who are currently failing classes or who have ongoing behavior issues and disciplinary concerns may not be allowed to participate in the ceremony.

We encourage all parents to speak with their child about the importance of maintaining appropriate behavior, following school expectations, and remaining focused academically during the final days of school. This is an important time for students to finish the school year strong both academically and behaviorally.

Please note that only students who receive the official notice of participation will be permitted to attend and participate in the ceremony.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership as we work together to ensure a successful and positive end to the school year.

Sincerely,

Calloway-Smith Middle School
