Welcome back, Raider family!

It's going to be a GREAT 2022-2023 school year!  This summer, we have been spending a lot of time planning and preparing for educational, social, and enjoyable school opportunities for everyone!  

Please consider being involved in something during your middle school years.  Whether it be sports, music, clubs, student council, art, volunteering at school or in the community, or anything else to help others around you, please get involved!  As middle school students, you will be going through a lot of changes, and having an opportunity to share this awkward phase of life with someone else who understands it is so valuable.

At school, we want you to have the best opportunity to thrive, learn, succeed, and enjoy your environment and those in your social circle.  We are always here to help!  Please don't hesitate to call upon one of the staff members if you need anything!

The easiest way to ensure academic success is to come to school ready to learn, take pride in your work and homework completion, study for tests, ask questions, and attend school every day!  Your teachers and I want to see your best and help you establish good skills to help you for the rest of your life!  That's what school is.....training and learning for things yet to come!

Consequences for not following through on expectations in the classroom or at other school events will be addressed through after school detentions, suspension, and other loss of privileges this year.  I would encourage you to contribute positively to your classroom environment while being respectful of those around you who are also trying to learn.   You all have the ability to choose to do the right thing each and every day!  We want to celebrate these choices with you!

I can't wait to see my Raider family in their new grade, classes, and experiences!  We have many blessings to come in 2022-2023 and I look forward to sharing the journey and adventure with you!  Please let me know if I can help in any way!  Have a wonderful 2022-2023 school year!

Sincerely,

Mrs. Keyser, CMS Principal and Athletic Director
