First Days of School
(posted 8/18/2020)
Below is information for the opening of school. Please read through the entire document because there is information for Virtual and Hybrid students.
Virtual Information
We will have our pick-up days this week for our virtual students. One parent needs to come to CMM during the times listed below to pick up your child’s math workbook, science workbook, binder, dividers, planner, information packet, and Chromebook (if you are checking one out from us). You will also need to sign a Virtual Contract. These will be the only times for this pick up, and your child must have these items before school starts. You will come to the main doors of our building, and we will be set up in that hallway. Please make sure you wear a mask and practice social distancing.
Wednesday, August 19th—12:00-4:00
Thursday, August 20th—8:00-5:30
Friday, August 21st—12:00-4:00
The Learning Management System, Canvas, will be accessed through ClassLinks. Your student should go to launchpad.classlink.com and follow the login directions at the top. Once your student logs in login, he/she will see the Canvas app. Teachers will begin demonstrating how to use Canvas the first day of school—students will need to login for videos and live Zoom times. For the first week only, teachers will repeat directions Monday and Tuesday, and then Wednesday and Thursday. This will give all virtual students plenty of opportunities for instruction. By the second week of school, virtual students will need to login to all classes daily to receive instruction and complete assignments. Virtual students will receive the same instruction, assignments, quizzes, activities, tests, etc., as Hybrid students.
Hybrid Information
First Day—A Day—August 24, 2020
First Day—B Day—August 25, 2020
As students arrive at school, they will be seated on the patio nearest their drop off point and will be practicing social distancing. Students will come in the building beginning at 7:50 and go directly to first period (see lists below) and receive their schedule. We will then follow our bell schedule and students will attend all classes.
Questionnaires will be sent home August 24th and August 25th for parents to request Chromebooks from CMM. Chromebooks (fully charged) and chargers must be brought to school every day. Students will need devices at school every day. If your child has a device at home, he/she needs to bring it to school daily with a full charge—and the charger.
During this first week, teachers will instruct the students on how to navigate Canvas. They will repeat these directions on Monday and Tuesday, and then Wednesday and Thursday. By the second week of school, there will be no repeating. Students at home will need to be logged in daily for instruction and assignments. Breakfast and lunch are free again this year. Each student will pick up a breakfast as he/she enters the building and eat during the beginning of first hour. Lunch will be delivered to 5th hour classrooms, and students will eat in the classroom.
At the end of the day, students will be dismissed by groups. The first group will be bus riders as the buses arrive, and then car riders will be released once the buses have departed.

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.
School Supply List
Loose-leaf paper Highlighters
Pens—red/green/blue/black Small Pencil Sharpener
Colored Pencils (12) Pencil Pouch—with holes for 3-ring binder
Pencils Wired Earbuds—inexpensive
Clorox Wipes, Hand Sanitizer, Kleenex—one of each if they can be found
School Fees
School Fee--$10.00 (paid to PE teacher)

As you know, you have two choices for your children at the beginning of this school year:
- Hybrid Model—students with last names beginning with A – J will attend in-person on Mondays and Wednesdays with virtual instruction on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays. Students whose last names begin with K – Z, in-person instruction will be Tuesdays and Thursdays with virtual instruction on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.
- Virtual—students will learn from teachers at CMM. They will receive the same level of daily instruction as those in person while learning from home using Caddo’s new user-friendly online platform. Training will be made available to students and parents.

Please do not AR test on your summer reading books from home. If you would like to download a PDF version of the assignment, please click on the blue button "Summer Reading PDF."
