CVMS students had their first Lead lesson this week. The Lead program is part of our lives here at CVMS. As partners with the Franklin Covey Foundation through The Leader in Me program, our middle school students will experience weekly lessons with grade level peer and monthly lessons with students from all grade levels. This mixed grade level time is called “Family Time”. We are excited to see how much more we embrace the philosophy of students taking ownership of not only their school, but their lives and community. The district is using a new computer program for attendance notifications. We are learning that, with all things new, there are kinks in the system. We apologize for any phone calls you receive that are not accurate. We also ask for you to call the CVMS office to report an absence. By doing so, you should not receive a phone call. Thank you for your patience and your assistance as we move forward with improving communication between school and home.

Our students and staff participated appropriately for both. Nice job staff and students!!! Each grade level communicates with parents/guardians electronically. If you have not connected with one of your child’s teachers, here is a link to staff contact information. They would be happy to add you to the teams distribution list. http://cameronmo.apptegy.us/o/cameron-veteran-middle-school/staff Assistant Principal, Mr. Fisher, went into each classroom to discuss sexual harassment with students.
