REQUIRED READING BOOK SALE

Our PTSO is currently conducting our Required Reading Book Sale.  Order forms will be coming home this week.   This book sale is intended to give parents the opportunity to purchase required class novels for their student.   

If you would like your child to be able to read at home or annotate in the book, then we recommend that you purchase a copy for your child. If you are interested in purchasing these titles for your student, please fill out the order and return this form by Wednesday, September 18th  to your child’s language arts teacher. Please enclose a check made payable to Cuthbertson Middle School PTSO for the total purchase amount or cash in the exact amount. A percent of the sales price will be retained by CMS PTSO to fund other projects for our students.

STATE TESTING RESULTS
On Wednesday, September 4th, North Carolina released the state testing results for all North Carolina Public Schools. Cuthbertson received an “A” on the NC Report Card. Additionally, our school EXCEEDED growth in all academic areas this past year. Based off of our School Performance Grade CMS is a top 10 middle school. Congratulations go out to all of our students, staff and parents for your hard work.

STUDENT CHROMEBOOKS 
Your child has been issued their laptop for the 2019-2020 school year. Please take a moment to visually inspect your child’s unit. If you see any major damage, please have your child return to the Media Center with their laptop for further assessment by Friday, September 6. This date gives every student time to notice and report any prior damage so they are not held responsible for the damage during laptop collection and assessment at the end of the school year. Any student who did not receive a laptop but now has their agreement form signed can come to the media center next week.
