Rigorous, Community-Connected Classroom Instruction and Expanded, Enriched Learning Opportunities
Teacher Training: Provide additional professional development for teachers to ensure they consistently offer encouragement and support when students are struggling.
Establish a dedicated after-school tutoring period, separate from other extracurricular activities, ensuring students get academic support when they need it most.
Collaborative Leadership, Shared Power, and Voice
Make PTA Participation More Accessible: Create smaller volunteer roles or subcommittees that allow parents to participate in ways that fit their time and skill set.
Increase Virtual PTA Engagement: Implement virtual PTA meetings, which could accommodate working parents or those with limited mobility.
Integrated Systems of Support
Promote Access to Mental Health Services: Increase awareness of counseling services by promoting them on the school website, through newsletters, and during student assemblies.
Provide students with clear, accessible instructions on how to access counseling services at any time.
Increase Awareness of Available Resources: Share information about available resources, such as mental health resources, and transportation
Culture of Belonging, Safety, and Care
Bullying Awareness Programs: Given that bullying is identified as a significant issue, increase the focus on bullying prevention. Implement regular bullying awareness programs like No Place for Hate & partnerships within the community to promote a culture of belonging at CMS. Cultural Awareness and Celebrations: Address the need for more cultural awareness & promote inclusion through student-led cultural events, art, and presentations that honor different heritages
Powerful Student and Family Engagement
Regular "Office Hours" in the Community: Beyond family engagement events, have regular office hours for families to visit the CMS "Community Hub" for questions, feedback, or resources.
The "Living" Resource Directory: Maintain an updated, easily accessible digital and physical directory of local food pantries, housing assistance, mental health services, and youth sports. Connect this with our needs request form going out in the newsletter.
Routine "Check-ins" on Wellbeing: Reach out to families not to talk about attendance or grades, but simply to ask: "Is there anything your family needs right now that the community can help with?"
