Dear CMP Community,

The first day of school is here and we are excited to welcome you all back tomorrow.  It's going to be a great year.  At each school there will be an opportunity for a "First Day of School Photo".  Feel free to snap a picture and hashtag #CMPFirstDayOfSchool if you're interested.

Also, we had a Board meeting last night.  Some highlights included:

• Adoption of our Local Control Accountability Plans and budgets.
• Election of the Board Chair, Vice President, and Treasurer.  Thank you to Rob Henderson (Board Chair), Scott Porter (Vice President), and Tamika L'Ecluse (Treasurer) for agreeing to serve this year!
• Approval of our new Middle School Science program.
• Staff recognition of Carrie Klagenberg, Richard Stanley, Becky Marsolais, Cherie Cooney, Lisa Coker, and the Carmichael Administrative team for important projects they lead over the summer.  

Dear CMP Families,

We hope you all had a great first day of school! We were all so excited to welcome you back. I had a chance to visit every school today to celebrate the beginning of the school year with our school staff. Our central office also delivered "welcome back breakfasts" to teachers at each campus.

While we were out at our schools we took some silly photos with the props we left out for students and families. Even some of our Board members got in on the fun. Enjoy!

Dear CMP Orangevale Families,

The new school year is right around the corner! Please scroll down and mark your calendars for the following upcoming events and read important “Back to School” information.

The first day of school is Wednesday, August 14th from 8:30am-12pm.  Our first three days of school, August 14th -16th,  are all Early Release days with dismissal at 12pm.  These are also Initial Parent Meeting dates.  Please be on the lookout for a Parent Meeting sign-up from your student’s teacher.  We have included a number of attachments to help prepare for back to school. 

• Class Placements:  Families are invited to contact the school office on August 1^st to find student class placement information.

• School Dress Code:  Please see attached CMP’s School Dress Code policy for review. 

• Class Supplies:  Visit the CMP website or.cacmp.org under individual classroom pages for a complete class donation supply list by grade level.  Please bring all class supply donations to classrooms at our Open House on Tuesday, August 13th from 3-5pm.  Thank you for your donations!

ParentSquare:  ParentSquare is a communication platform that CMP utilizes.  It is the main way our school communicates with our families, using the email address that you provided on your student’s enrollment/re-enrollment form.  Grandparents are not automatically added to our email list each year, therefore please contact us only if you wish to add them and provide their email address.  Thank you!
