Good Evening CMHS Parents, Caregivers, Students and Guardians,

 It has been wonderful to see our staff and students settling back into the rhythm of school—between rehearsals, playoff games, the return of clubs, and all the other activities that bring vibrancy and life to our buildings. We now have more clarity around the remainder of the Semester 1 schedule, and I would like to share that information with you today on behalf of the CMHS administration team. I am pleased to report that this plan will allow us to recover most of the learning days lost due to the strike. As always, our priority remains supporting our students and their learning, both in the classroom and through their extracurricular activities.

  • November 21 is the new last day for Term 1 courses, making November 24 the first day of Term 2 courses.
  • The November 28 Non-Instructional Day will be used for Parent-Teacher Conferences (more information to follow).
  • Semester 1 courses will be extended until January 23.
  • If course exams are held, they will be modified so they can be administered within a regular class period. Teachers will communicate updated plans to students for the remainder of the semester.
  • January 26 and 27 are credit recovery days. Teachers may request that students come in to complete additional work or demonstrate learning outcomes.
  • January 28 is the first day of Term 3 and Semester 2. The calendar remains unchanged for the remainder of Semester 2.

It is a privilege to work in a school for so many reasons, but it always comes back to the fact that I show up every day to a vibrant, energetic community working together to create meaningful learning experiences for students. Thank you to all the staff, parents, students and community volunteers who have stepped up to help make this happen. I look forward to seeing many of you in person at a school event in the near future!

Sincerely,

Brian Cheney (on behalf of the Central Memorial Administration)
