CMM Vision Statement “At Caddo Middle Magnet, we engage all students in becoming critical thinkers, effective communicators, caring citizens, and lifelong learners.” |
2020-2021 School Year information:
Many of you have questions about how learning will look this coming school year. All of our CMM students will have school five days a week—some virtually and some in person. Whether virtual or hybrid, all students will receive the same instruction and be responsible for the same assignments, quizzes, tests, projects, etc. Information will be available through our Learning Management System, Canvas. Lessons will be either Live Zoom or On-Demand—with live opportunities each day. Parents of virtual students will sign a nine week contract, after that time you can reassess. Please view the link below for added information from our district.

Welcome CMM Families!!!
We are so excited to begin a new school year! This year will be different, but it will be wonderful! I can assure you that we are taking every precaution to ensure your children are safe, happy, and learning.
As you know, you have two choices for your children at the beginning of this school year:
Our new school hours are 8:00-3:25. As students arrive at school in the morning, they will be seated on the closest patio—either bus ramp or carpool side. At 7:50 students will be allowed inside the building—at that time they can pick up their breakfast from a table by the door they enter and go directly to 1st hour. Breakfast will be eaten in the classroom. Temperatures will be checked at the beginning of first hour. Lunches will be delivered during 5th hour and eaten in the classroom. All class changes will be closely monitored to ensure safety precautions are met daily.
First Days of School: August 24th (A Day) and August 25th (B Day)—students will receive their schedules—details will be sent out in a JCall by August 21st. Virtual students will receive their schedules prior to the first day of school. We will also have Zoom and On-Demand meetings the week of August 17th-21st with specific instructions for virtual students and parents.
Device Guidelines: Devices will be checked out to students that need them at the beginning of the school year. If a student/parent checks out a device from CMM, that device will be used for the entire school year by that student. Any time the student is at school, he/she must have that device charged, with them, and ready to use. Devices need to be charged overnight (every night). Students with their own devices are encouraged to bring them to school to use in class. This will ensure that they are not sharing with anyone else. Chargers should be brought to school each day—just in case.
Students in TAP will receive in-person instruction one day a week and virtual instruction one day a week if they are on the Hybrid Model. Students on the Virtual Model will receive virtual instruction two days a week.
PE classes will not dress out for the first few months. Students will participate in non-contact activities during their PE class.
We are streamlining school supplies and fees for this year. Each student will be provided with a 3-ring binder and dividers—this will be used for ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies. The list below needs to be purchased for all CMM students. Teachers will not ask for any other supplies.

Parent Survey for Hybrid/Virtual Model
We know there have been many questions about opening schools. Please know Caddo has a plan that includes delaying the start of the school year until August 24. Safety has been our school’s top priority, and we are excited to welcome students back while following guidance from medical professionals.
In welcoming back our students, two options will be available, Hybrid and Virtual.
In the hybrid model, students will attend either Monday and Wednesday or Tuesday and Thursday. Friday will be a virtual day for all students. Social distancing, use of masks and hand hygiene will be practiced to protect students and staff.
In the virtual model, students will learn from teachers right here at CMM. They will receive the same level of instruction as those in person while learning from home using Caddo’s new, user-friendly online platform and training will be made available to parents. Devices to complete school work will be distributed as needed.
Please complete the survey link below for each child you have attending Caddo Parish schools. We need this Survey complete by August 1st. Please email rsdebusk@caddoschools.org with any questions.
