Have you been to the middle/high school lately? The new combined entrance and outdoor seating look amazing! Not only is it more convenient but we love how modern and sophisticated it looks. There's also a new visitor parking loop in front of the entrance that is separated from buses and other traffic for enhanced safety.
Construction crews installed the new flag pole in front of the middle/high school just in time for Veterans Day

We are grateful to have so many learning opportunities in the natural environment surrounding our schools! Seventh graders participated in hands-on, interactive, and engaging outdoor activities when the Frost Valley School Outreach Program visited CDMS recently. Topics included Ecology and Science, Outdoor Skills, Arts and Nature, Stewardship and Conservation as well as team building activities. The programs are designed to build upon and reinforce the in-school curriculum.
Happy Principals Month to our amazing principals, Mr. Stein, Mr. Schips and Mr. Moore! Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to making sure that students and staff have everything they need to succeed!
