From Guidance
Dear Parents and Guardians:
At CSMS we encourage our students to excel academically and we believe that recognizing student successes is an essential part of maintaining their success. However, in order to protect instructional time in the classroom, students who successfully achieve honor roll status will be recognized quarterly on an informal basis at school. We will reserve time for students to participate in a ceremony who consistently achieve honor roll throughout the school year.
At the end of the 1st, 2nd, & 3rd quarter grading periods, students making honor roll will receive recognition and their names will be published in the Citrus County Chronicle. There will not be a 4th quarter honor roll, as grades are not completed until after students have left for the summer.
Following the completion of the 3rd quarter, if your student has maintained their honor roll status for the first three quarters, then you will be invited to an honor roll program held during the morning of May 24, 2016. Some students may also receive invitations due to excellence in some other academic endeavors. Invitations will be sent along with your student's 3rd quarter report card.
Please encourage your child to set high academic standards and remember to recognize their effor and success!
Teresa Pettit and Debra Quertermous, CSMS Guidance Counselors
