CMCS Reopening Plan Frequently Asked Questions:

Check out our Frequently Asked Questions to our Reopening Plan. This was updated as of today (7/6/20). We are still awaiting final approval from the state to be able to offer a Distance Learning option. As soon as we have information, we will share it.

Clean Up Days with Mr. Eddie:

This summer Mr. Eddie will be holding his annual summer clean up days. The days will be Saturday, July 18, 2020 and Saturday, July 25, 2020 from 8:00 am to 2:00 pm. If you would like to sign up to help on one or both of these days, please email Ms. Devon (devon@cmcsmontessori.com).

Summer Hours:

The Front Office still remains closed at this time. For any immediate needs, please email info@cmcsmontessori.com. We will keep you informed about our adjusted office hours as they become available.

Volunteering for Next Year:

If you plan to volunteer for the 2020-2021 school year, you must complete a new online volunteer application on or after July 1, 2020.

Please go to https://www.pasco.k12.fl.us/comm/volunteer/ to complete the application. Please remember that each family is responsible for completing 15 volunteer hours per school year.

We will have to be flexible with how volunteer hours are completed this year, as we are restricting volunteers on campus. Our Wall Plaque fundraiser is a great way to take care of your volunteer hours. More information to come.

Registration for the 2020-2021 School Year:

Stay tuned for more information regarding registration for the 2020-2021 school year.

Middle School PE Uniforms:

IMPORTANT CHANGE: Due to the current situation with COVID-19, Middle School students will NOT be wearing PE uniforms for the first semester. We will revisit this for the second semester.

Again, Middle School students will stay in their CMCS uniform polos and uniform bottoms for the entire day. They will not be wearing PE uniforms or changing during the first semester (August - December). Please email Ms. Melissa (melissa.marotta@cmcsmontessori.com) with any questions.

Cougar Cards 2020-2021:

It's that time of year again . . time to get our Cougar Cards rolling for the upcoming school year. If you are interested in soliciting participating business for the card, let us know. This is a great way to get in your volunteer hours prior to the school year starting. We have a new electronic form this year to help streamline the process too!

If you are interested in helping, please email giving@cmcsmontessori.com.

We'd like to provide you with a few reminders as summer is starting to wind down and we prepare to start the new school year. If your child needs medication stored in the clinic, please be sure to visit Parent Links/Health Info for any forms that may need prior to school starting to accept medication in the clinic. Please provide all completed forms to Ms. Devon.

In addition to medication, all incoming 7th grades need to have their TDap immunization completed prior to the first day of school. Click here for information on where you can for go for immunizations and school physicals this year courtesy of the Pasco County School District.
