The Student Experience

#CMSway

EACH student is known at CMS: Each student is assigned to a team with a common set of teachers and students to maximize relationship building. It’s how we provide a small-school experience.

Technology

Teachers and students utilize a variety of technology tools to enhance each student’s learning experience.

Be Safe. Be Responsible. Be Kind

The Core Values of the Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports System (PBIS) focus on three character pillars – Be Safe, Be Responsible and Be Kind. All students work together with their classroom teachers and staff to embed these traits into our everyday learning at Central Middle School. Our commitment to PBIS helps develop our students into outstanding community members.

Orchestra, Band and Choir

Students are invited to engage in one or more of our musical education opportunities.

Student & Family Support

CMS and the Parent Teacher Organization work collaboratively to enhance the educational environment for our students. The PTO helps fund personalized learning spaces, student field trips, staff grants, and staff appreciation, as well as team and character building activities throughout our school.
