Hello Cavalier Families,
Our students and staff are working hard as we enter the second month of school. We have completed our first
Learning Check and our students are taking ownership of their learning by understanding the concepts and skills being taught in each of their classes.
Our grading system has shifted from traditional letter grades to
Standards-Based Learning and Assessing. When discussing grades with your student(s), you will notice they use proficiency scales 1-4 which tells them the level of understanding they are at within a standard. Students have the opportunity to revise their work as they become more and more proficient within the standard.
I highly encourage you to talk to your child and refer to ParentVue often to see how they are progressing in their learning. ParentVue is a great tool for you to use to stay up to date. If you do not have ParentVue, please reach out to us so that we can get you connected.
At CtMS, it is our mission to provide a nurturing and safe school environment by building positive relationships resulting in high academic and social achievement for ALL of our students. It is our goal to prepare students to become productive, lifelong learners, and responsible citizens.
I have an open door policy and welcome you to come and visit. Our teachers and staff are available to work with you and your child as well. Don’t hesitate to email any of us if you have any questions or concerns.
We will have our first Student-Led Conferences of the school year on September 15th beginning at 1 pm and concluding at 7 pm (We will be closed from 3 pm-4 pm). It is a great opportunity for your child to share what they have been learning in class, discuss their academic and personal goals as well as talk about their personal plan they have in place for the school year.
Please know that I welcome and value your feedback, questions, and collaboration and look forward to continuing to work with you and your child throughout the school year. Together, I know we will make this school year one of growth and achievement for all.
Your life-long partner in education,
Rebekah Cabrera
Principal
