The Spanish Immersion Program at Barksdale Elementary
If your incoming 5th - 8th grade student is interested in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM), watch for information about your school's Junior Solar Sprint (JSS) team later this year. CMCSS students have the opportunity to be selected to represent their school in the JSS competition. Students build and race solar cars with the chance to compete regionally and nationally.
The CMCSS Junior Solar Sprint is part of the national Junior Solar Sprint (JSS) administered by the Technology Student Association (TSA) through a grant awarded by the Army Educational Outreach Program. Thank you to the families who complete their Federal Impact Aid surveys each year. Through your participation, the district is able to offer programs such as Junior Solar Sprint in our schools.
This year, Northeast High School cheer participated in a UCA Home camp. With a new squad comes many hurdles that need to be accomplished, and this team did just that!
After three rigorous days of learning and growing as a team, these athletes walked away with many individual accomplishment awards, including a Pin-It-Forward award, a Superior Award, 5 All-American awards, and a TEAM spirit opportunity.
All-American Recipients:
🎖 Ailee Carney, Senior (4x award recipient)
🎖 Ashley Briggs, Senior
🎖 Brianna Patterson, Senior (3x award recipient)
🎖 Kaiya Meyer, Junior
🎖 Salvador Goines, Junior
All-American recipients have the option to participate in a variety of spirit events, and the team spirit event awarded to the team will allow the entire squad to participate in this year’s Citrus Bowl Pre-Game performance.

Is your family ⭐️ new ⭐️ to CMCSS this year?
We encourage you to connect with your child`s school and the district through ParentSquare, our mass notification system. The ParentSquare app is a convenient way to communicate directly with your child`s teacher and receive classroom updates, principal messages, and news from the district.
Once you have fully registered, an invitation will be sent to your email before the beginning of school. The mobile app is not required to communicate. You can still continue to receive updates via phone and email.
We are thrilled to begin the 2024-25 school year with your family!
GUIDE TO THE START OF THE SCHOOL YEAR
What school supplies will my child need?
A great way to start the school year is to have your child prepared. ➡ Link in bio for a general list of supplies for ⭐️ elementary ⭐️ students.
Many supplies will be collected and stored for classroom use. Depending on usage, students may need to replenish their supplies at some point during the school year. Additionally, sometimes teachers may request other items, depending on the curriculum.
⭐️ Middle & High Schools ⭐️
Middle and High Schools have more differences in supply lists, so it’s best to wait until students receive the list from their teacher. However, basic supplies such as notebooks, folders, loose-leaf paper, pens, and pencils are typically used for most classes.
