• Academics

    The faculty and administration of CMS are dedicated to inspiring and mentoring our students as they strive to develop the skills necessary for success in middle school and beyond. Parental participation and support are integral in ensuring that our students leave middle school prepared for high school, college, and life.  To stay up to date with academic progress, be sure to be a Canvas observer for your student.  If you are unsure how to become an observer, please contact one of his/her core teachers.

    • Eagle Pride is our morning tutoring program available to students who need extra support in understanding concepts taught in the classroom.  
    • Academy is our eighth grade program for designated students to work in smaller groups with their core teachers.
    • Study skills is our exploratory class rotation for all grades where students have extra time to complete homework while at school.
