Welcome Back

Welcome Back CCMS!  By now you  have probably gotten into the school routine; getting up early, going to bed early, homework, after school activities, etc.  Can you believe that we are already at the half way point for the first 9 weeks?

That means we are at a good place to stop and reflect!  Hows is your year going?  Are you meeting your AR Goal?  Are you making progress on study island, Reading Plus, and Lexia?  Are you  meeting the goals you have set for your self in each of your classes?  

If you answered NO to any of these questions, its not to late to make a change!  Now is the time to develop good work habits, study habits, and a work ethic that will follow you throughout this year as well as life.  

What can you do to be more successful at school?
*  Study nightly, don't wait until the night before the test
*  Listen intently during class
*  Ask Questions, don't be afraid to ask for help
*  Attend tutoring
*  Stay Organized 
*  Use the resources on your teacher webpages and google classroom sites

Remember we are "building a beast", and that beast is only possible when we all give 110%.
