Hello! We have a quick health reminder for CMS Parents and Guardians. 1. Temperatures are rising. If your child is attending school in person, please send them with a water bottle. We have water bottle filling stations on campus. 2. If you have a 6th grader, please be sure to make an appointment for him/her to get the required Tdap vaccination and turn in a copy of the immunization record to our school office in order to attend 7th grade in the fall (if you have not done so already). Thank you and I hope you have a nice evening.

We have some very important news to share with our Cucamonga Middle School Family! A big congratulations to Mr. Morales! He is moving on next year from Central School District to a new, exciting chapter in his life. With his departure, we are happy to announce that Mrs. Leach has been selected as the new principal of CMS. Mrs. Leach began as an 8th grade English Language Arts teacher at CMS and then became a Teacher on Assignment for the entire district. She next served as an Assistant Principal at Ruth Musser Middle School for 5 years before transitioning this year to a position as the district’s Educational Services Program Coordinator. Her own children have been a part of this district; she calls CMS and Central School District her home and community. Congratulations to both Mr. Morales and Mrs. Leach as they start this new adventure next year!

Good Evening CMS Parents and Guardians, We have received permission from CA State to provide local assessments instead of the CAASSP this year. • The purpose of these tests is to provide data on all students’ present levels as well as academic growth in the areas of reading and math. We also use them to identify possible needs for future academic interventions. • The testing schedule is below. These tests will be taken while in class (either while in person on campus or in online Distance Learning classes) with an ELA or Math teacher. Those teachers will provide testing access information/links. • Please make sure that your children attend as usual, get sufficient sleep, and eat a good breakfast prior to these assessments. • Finally, we would appreciate that your student brings their own pair of earbuds/headphones to cancel out noise while taking the tests. *TESTING SCHEDULE: Week of May 4-7: Reading Inventory Week of May 11-14: STAR Reading Test Week of May 17-21: STAR Math Test Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you, Julie McKissick Assistant Principal
