Due to forecasted weather conditions, CMISD will be closed on Thursday, January 9, and Friday, January 10.

Mrs. Poteet and Mrs. Richardson's classes used balloons to help visualize when to round up or down. We were floating on air with all the fun we had in math!










Rounding with balloons? Absolutely! Today in Mrs. Willhoit’s class, we used balloons as a fun visual tool to help us understand when to round up or down!

We value your input on our Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH) Family Survey. At our school, teachers and students actively use CKH strategies each day to foster strong relationships. Social contracts, greetings, launches, and affirmations are integral parts of our daily routine. Our monthly celebrations are designed to honor student achievements beyond academics, highlighting the importance of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL). This survey aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how CKH is being implemented and its impact on our school community.
