NASTAR race course at Snowmass (take the Village Express lift and ski down Coney Glade). Parents attending: meet at the NASTAR course at 11:00 a.m.
What is Oystermeister? Seven times each school year, students, faculty and family members come together for a school-wide, fun-for-all athletic event. Students pay an entry fee of $1 each to participate and all funds raised support student clubs. Regardless of ability, we invite the entire CRMS community to join in – and don’t forget your school spirit, costume, and friendly competition!
The 7 events are:

Open water pond swim and party
Campus course cycling time trial
2.5-mile trail run on Tick Ridge
Rock climbing – bouldering in the CRMS Gym
5K Nordic ski (skate or classic) at Spring Gulch
Alpine downhill at the Snowmass Ski Area NASTAR course
Kayaking race starting at River Valley Ranch and ending at CRMS

Academic Check
2025-05-06
Each term, we set dates for academic checks. This is a time we encourage families to log into Canvas and recognize each student’s academic progress. Our fourth academic check is Tuesday, May 6th.
The intention of the Canvas Parent portal is so that families can see the status of assignments or grades given. When used well, an open grade book promotes productive conversations between parents/guardians, students, and teachers. Parents should not feel obligated to check their child’s grade status frequently as most students are better off with autonomy and the understanding that they hold responsibility for their academic achievement. Students are expected to use Canvas daily as they complete homework and keep track of assessments.
*Please note that current grades give us only a small snapshot of a student’s performance and do not reflect their overall progress or final grade.
Canvas Tip: The default settings for Canvas Notifications can be overwhelming and unneeded. We recommend that you turn down or turn off the notifications and check in whenever you like through the App or web.
