ECCSS will return to normal operations tomorrow, January 10. Due to road conditions, we will run our Alternate Bus Stop Routes (https://tinyurl.com/5x77n2wf) tomorrow.

ECCSS will be closed on Tuesday, January 9, due to the expected storm system that will be in our area tomorrow. ECCSS made this decision after discussions with our Evans County Emergency Management Agency (ECEMA) and based on the most recent weather forecasts. Currently, the greatest concern is the potential for wind gusts on Tuesday which could impede the safe operation of school buses. We plan to reopen on Wednesday, January 10. Please continue to monitor our website, district Facebook page, ECCSS Push Notifications, and Kinvo (messaging system for parents/guardians) for additional information. The safety of our students, staff, families, and community is our number one concern.

CMS invites you to support the CMS Baseball Team by purchasing a raffle ticket for a home safe. Tickets can be purchased in the front office at CMS/CHS, from a student, or from a coach. THE DRAWING IS THIS FRIDAY, JANUARY 12TH! We thank you for our support!

Students in Mrs. Brown's 7th grade science classes have been studying fossils. They had fun ending the unit with a fossil dig! For each fossil that they found, they spent time analyzing and interpreting data for patterns in the fossil that document the existence, diversity, and extinction of organisms and their relationships to modern organisms. #4Cs #RoarANDSoar
