Hello Eagle Families! 🦅💜

As we get into the groove of the new school year, I wanted to share a few important reminders regarding our campus expectations and procedures. Our goal every morning is for students to have a seamless, welcoming entry into the building, but policy violations create interruptions that require staff redirection and correction.

Please take a moment to review these key reminders alongside our attached Campus Expectations Flyer.

⏰ Arrival & Morning Supervision:
Our doors open bright and early at 8:10 a.m. We have noticed an increasing number of students arriving on campus well before this time. When left unsupervised outside, opportunities arise for unsafe behaviors or students wandering off campus. Student safety is our top priority, and we need your partnership to ensure students are not dropped off or left unsupervised before doors open at 8:10 a.m.

👗 Dress Code & Footwear:

Shorts & Skirts: Must be fingertip length or longer.

Footwear: Crocs are permitted, but slides are not allowed. Closed-toe shoes are strongly encouraged for safety throughout the day.

🥤 Water Bottles & Beverages:

Allowed: Clear liquids (water) in clear water bottles.

Not Allowed: Stanley cups, Owala bottles, non-clear containers, or colored liquids/sugary drinks.

🍟 Snacks:
Students are allowed to bring chips or snacks, but these must be consumed in the cafeteria during designated times, not in the hallways or classrooms.

We will always give students the opportunity to correct violations, and we will contact parents to assist when needed. Thank you so much for your continued support, cooperation, and partnership in keeping our campus safe, focused, and ready to learn!

🔬 Teaching & Learning in Action at CCMS! 🦅💜✨

Collaborative coaching drives success in our classrooms every single day! Today marked our very first Model Classroom lesson, where our Teaching & Learning Specialist Ms. Quintero stepped into Ms. Stimpson’s 6th-grade Science class to model high-impact instructional strategies. 📚💡

Our 6th graders dove deep into physical science as they collaborated in teams to explore, observe, and analyze the physical properties of the states of matter (solids, liquids, and gases)! 🧊💧💨
Watching our students engage in critical thinking, ask insightful questions, and learn side-by-side with their teachers highlights the true power of collaborative practice. 🧪🤝

Thank you to Ms. Stimpson and her inquisitive scientists for hosting such a dynamic, hands-on learning experience! 🌟

🍦 BIG Eagle Thanks to our South Valley Mills H-E-B! 🦅💜✨
Our Chavez staff got a sweet surprise today thanks to the amazing team at our local H-E-B on South Valley Mills! 🛒❤️ They showed our campus some major love by treating our hardworking staff to a delicious ice cream social! 🍨🎉

There is nothing quite like a cool, sweet treat to beat the Texas heat and lift our spirits as we start a busy week! 😋 Ice cream truly makes everything better!

We are so incredibly grateful to live and work in a community that pours so much support into our educators. Thank you, H-E-B, for feeding our souls (and our sweet tooths!) and for being such a fantastic supporter of our school family. 🤝💜
