Admin Corner – August 29, 2025

The Montessori Journey is Friday, September 5th from 6-7:30pm.  This event allows new parents to experience what it is like to work with the materials that the students use from the Early Childhood through 5th level. Complimentary Child Care for CMS students will be available.

As a reminder, please sign your student(s) in and out when dropping off and picking them up each day. This can be done directly through your CMS App and is a requirement under California State Child Care Licensing regulations. Your cooperation is essential to ensure we remain compliant with state requirements. We appreciate your support and assistance in maintaining these standards. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Our priority is safety, and it takes all of us to work together. When dropping off or picking up your student, please do not reverse or pass other cars; we appreciate your support. When you exit the driveway, please ensure you turn right.

Class begins promptly at 8:30 and morning arrivals are from 8:15–8:30. Please pull through the driveway and a staff member will greet your student. Arrivals end at 8:30. Dismissals for full day students are from 2:30-2:45p.m. Please pull through the parking lot and a staff member will put your student in your car. When leaving the parking lot please exit right. We appreciate your support of having your student in their classroom on time and your cooperation.

Class begins promptly at 8:30 and morning arrivals are from 8:15–8:30. All elementary students should be dropped off curbside. If the curb is full please come through the parking lot. This will assist with not blocking the driveway as well as traffic on Monte Vista Road. Dismissals are from 3:00-3:15p.m. Eagle students dismiss from the parking lot and Owl students from curbside. If the curb or parking lot is full, use the alternative. We appreciate your cooperation.
