Good evening CMS Families,

Welcome to the CMS Back to School Night!

After much consideration we decided to provide you with pre-recorded informational videos providing you with a look at the school program your student will experience.  Our teachers spent considerable time creating videos that showcase their skills, talents, and personalities while diving into the content and expectations they’ll have for your students.  

New to CMS this year is the concept of teacher teams. Created out of the necessity to merge a distance education program with a hybrid program, students have been assigned a group of teachers who will work together with the same groups of students to provide the most positive and supportive learning experience we can imagine in the online environment.  I believe you'll see our passion for students and teaching demonstrated in the videos our teachers have produced.   

The focus of Back to School Night has always been teacher/class information and, even in the physical setting, opportunities for specific questions are limited.  As there will be no live component to our Back to School Night program, please feel free to email teachers specific questions you may have.  

You can access our Back to School Night page by following this link: CMS BTSN VIDEO LINKS PAGE

Once you’ve accessed the Back to School Night page, use your student’s schedule to find their teachers and take some time to watch their videos.  This will give you an excellent overview of the educational program provided to your student.  

Troubleshooting Guide

 Video Does Not Allow Access: Email the instructor directly and let them know.  Individual teachers control access to their videos and may need to adjust sharing settings to allow access.  

 Video Allows Access but Does Not Play: Try to download the video prior to viewing.  Once the video is fully loaded attempt to play it again. 

 Cannot Access Video Links Page: Log in using your students Gmail account. 

 Any other issues: Send us an email!  We’ll be in the office tomorrow at 7:30 AM and will be here to help with any issues or questions.  

We hope that you enjoy the videos and the capacity to view them at your own pace.  Thank you once again for your patience and support as we work to open our school in a successful manner. 

With regards,

Dan Morgan
