Parents, did you know that the CCSD parent survey counts towards our points for our state STAR Rating? It does and
we can really use your participation. Please take 5 minutes to complete the parent survey, it can be done using your
cellphone or on a computer. The link is below. The survey closes December 20th. Once you complete the survey, please
email your child’s teacher and they will receive a free-night homework pass.

“Broken Record Report:” No matter how many times we send out notices and reminders, people still turn left out of the lot.
It happens every day. DON’T TURN LEFT OUT OF THE LOT. The same goes for parking and leaving your vehicle in a red
zone. If your child must leave school early, please do so before 3:10 pm. Students are not dismissed after 3:10 pm for early
outs.

PTA News: The Penguin Patch final day to purchase gifts…Monday, 12/16/19. No PTA meeting for the month of

End of Semester Ends Friday, 12/20: All assignments need to be caught up, AR points completed, and students working
hard to finish the semester strong. All grading will close on Friday, December 20th. No late or missing work will be accepted

Please have a plan for them. Many times
our former DMC Students will come to
campus and want to volunteer or visit the
classrooms. We are still teaching full days
and just cannot accommodate all our former
DMC Students. We love our students and
when they visit, but it can be overwhelming
the final week before Winter Break as we
are completing our MAPS assessments.
