CMS 8 Gold students in Mr. Spear's math classes found their voices, were impressive during class discussions, and collaborated well to build their class period's Social Contract. It is how we (myself included) agree to treat one another - even in times of conflict. #cmscusd1
The health and safety of our students is of the utmost importance. Therefore, due to excessive heat warnings, all contests are cancelled for Charleston High School and Charleston Middle School through Thursday. We will reevaluate Friday for that night's activities. Coaches will communicate with their teams on potential practice changes. Please contact Mr. Mayhall at CMS or Mr. Deadmond at CHS with any questions or concerns. Thank you for your understanding.
