CMP – Shingle Springs and CMP - Capitol are excited to announce that we will be using ParentSquare: a new communication tool to connect our school community. ParentSquare will allow us to send emails, text messages, voice dialer messages and emergency alerts to our CMP families and staff. It also gives parents the opportunity to have one-on-one conversations with teachers with the direct messaging feature. This tool will allow us to streamline process such as:

• Conference & Meeting Sign Ups
• Volunteer Opportunities
• School Activity Reminders
• Club M Sign-Ups
• Field Trip Updates
• Newsletters & Campus Updates
• Sync School and Classroom Calendar Events to your device
• And More…

You should have received an email and/or a text inviting you to set up your ParentSquare account. If you have not received it, please contact the school office to get your contact information updated.

Spring Update/Appreciation

In the coming weeks, you will be hearing about many great things happening at CMP.  Your Principals will also be inviting you to attend site-based LCAP presentations.

The winner of our school wide sunflower seed counting contest is Auggie from the Golden Trout classroom. He came within 30 seeds of guessing the total number of seeds produced by our garden-15,126! Thank you to everyone who voted as well as to the entire student body for counting the seeds.

The Student Garden Committee accomplished a great deal during our first workday this past Wednesday. The six members filled planting trays with potting soil and sewed ten types of veggies and flowers. They tidied our garden shed and thoroughly watered the plants already growing in the beds. Also, they covered the pvc greenhouse frame with a shade cover and filled the compost barrel with lots of dried leaves and grass. Hats off to these hard workers who showed a lot of initiative and creative problem solving! Ms. Beecroft and I can already tell that this is going to be a very productive and fun year together.
