Highlights for the Week
Tuesday, April 7 is our Reading STAAR assessment for all 7th and 8th grade students. We will have a full campus shutdown. Please ensure iPads are fully charged the night before so students are ready to go. This is a wonderful opportunity for students to demonstrate the growth they’ve made and the effort they’ve put in throughout the year.
Congratulations to our band and choir students for representing China Spring Middle School! They have worked hard all year long, and it shows.
We are proud to celebrate National Assistant Principals Week. We are grateful for the leadership, care, and dedication our assistant principal, Dr. Davidson, brings to our campus each day in support of our students and staff.
Help us improve your child’s school dining experience! Our Child Nutrition team is gathering feedback on food service, menu options, and overall satisfaction. Please take a few minutes to complete this brief survey
Our parent volunteers provide weekly sodas and popcorn for our staff and are also beginning to plan the end-of-year teacher luncheon. They are currently accepting donations to help support these efforts. If you would like to contribute, you may drop off cash or a check at the front office or send a donation via Venmo to Kristin-Clements-4. Thank you for supporting our teachers and staff.
