CTMS TIDBITS AUGUST 29, 2023
SCHEDULES for students are available in Infinite Campus (student and parent portal). Please click on DOCUMENTS, then SCHEDULE.
OPEN HOUSE for CTMS middle schoolers will be TODAY, August 29, 2023 from 3:30-6:00PM - This will be open house style. Come anytime between 3:30 to 6:00 but please finish your tour by 6:00PM. Students will be able to walk their schedules and meet teachers, put items into lockers and sign up for Fall sports (cross country for all grades and girls volleyball for 7th and 8th graders). Paper schedules for students will be in their Homebase classroom (check Infinite Campus for Homebase teacher). Schedules will have locker information as well. We will also have Go Transit here to issue ID's to ride the city bus for free. Students must have a bus pass to ride the bus for free. If they do not have a bus pass, they must pay the bus fee. We will NOT be handing out bus passes at CTMS. Go Transit Bus Pass Form
FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL is Friday, September 1, 2023. School begins at 8:19AM. Supervision on school grounds begins at 7:45AM.
BUSING information should have been available last week in your Infinite Campus Parent Portal. If you have any questions, please call Kobussen at 920-424-7575. Bus drop off is at Door 11 on the West side of the building. Students will get off the bus and report to the grassy area or basketball courts on the South side of the building if it is before 8:12AM. If it is after 8:12AM, enter door 11 and go to your Homebase class.
PARENT DROP OFF AND PICK UP
Parent drop off and pick up is at door 1 on the East side of the school. The driveway has a one-way loop so be aware of this. Please quickly drop off your child and exit the parking lot. Do not block others in and try to be patient :). The drop off/pick up area is usually pretty congested to give yourself extra time. Some parents also drop off/pick up on Woodstock Street at the paved entrance to the school grounds. Students should then head to the grassy area or basketball courts on the South side of the building if is is before 8:12AM. If it is after 8:12AM, enter door 1 and go to Homebase. Staff supervision at CTMS does not begin until 7:45AM. Please do not drop off at door 11 on the West side of the school as this is reserved for buses and staff only.
