Parents of our COLA students should have received several emails over the past month regarding schedule details, and location of testing.

All in-person students will test each morning and have regular classes each afternoon.

Regardless of whether your child is attending our COLA program or in-person there are some important things to be aware of.

• Students are not permitted to have cellphones or other personal devices in their possessions during testing. If a student brings a cell phone or personal device to a testing session the device must be collected by the test administrator and will not be returned until the testing session has concluded.
• ALL students must bring their district-issued Chrome book to school fully charged.
• ALL students must bring the charging cord for their district-issued Chromebook with them to their testing location.
• Please ensure your child gets sufficient sleep and eats healthy the night before testing.

Did you know? At CMS we are always working to improve the connection our students have with our school. In the past two years, we have begun a system of promoting positive behaviors through preventive interventions (PBIS). If you have not heard of our PBIS program, check out some of the things we are currently doing!

1. We love to recognize kids for doing the right thing! One way we do this is through Colt Pride Tickets, which are QR codes that students can scan with their Chromebooks to enter a raffle style drawing. They can choose to enter for a smaller weekly prize or one of our larger quarterly prizes. These have included everything from a pass to wear a hat to school to echo dots and LED lights!
2. Our teachers can also recognize our students with a positive referral. When a student receives one of these, we will send their family a “fridge-worthy” certificate with a personalized write up from their teacher!
3. All of our students are familiar with our behavior matrix. The matrix lays out the behaviors we expect our students to have in the different locations of our school. Next time you are in our building, keep an eye out for our expectation posters hung around the building!
4. After another Ohio winter, everyone wants to get up and move. Teams are working to give our students opportunities to move and play, however, we still need students to follow the expectations of our building. Please remind your student to be mindful of the matrix and end this year on yet another successful run! We can’t thank each of you enough for your impact and support. 

Please take a minute to review our behavioral expectations with you student. The behavior matrix can be found here — MATRIX

Starting the week of April 5th and running through May 30th, the middle school will be providing Homework Help for students staffed by Cloverleaf Middle School teachers. 

To be clear, this is not a time for instruction or reteaching lessons for students. The Homework Help sessions are for students who may need someone to be accessible to assist if they struggle with homework. 

Two days a week (Mondays and Thursdays), staff will provide in-person support at the middle school from 2:45-3:45 PM. No registration is required for students to participate in the in-person Homework Help days. Teachers will take attendance each day of students who attend. This program does not include District Transportation.  Parents are responsible for picking up their children at 3:45 PM.

Three days a week (Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Sundays), staff will host virtual help to students in the evenings between 5:30-7:30 PM through Google Meet. To access the help of a teacher, use the link below to the Homework Help Google Classroom. Once on the Google Classroom, students will select the “meet link” located in the blue bar at the top of the page.

Be advised students can only gain access to this link through their District provided Google account. Parents are not able to access Google Classroom with their personal Gmail accounts.
