PSAT - Required for 9th, 10th & 11th-Grade Students
2024-10-07 - 2024-10-08
The PSAT test is required for all 9th-11th grade students.
The PSAT for 11th grade students is the National Merit Scholar Qualifying Test.
Review the October 7 – 11 Special Schedule for PSAT Testing and Wellness Days for testing times.
The College Board’s PSAT provides you, your child, and the school with information on how well students are reaching benchmarks for college readiness. PSAT scores are a good indicator of how students will perform on the SAT. PSAT data is also helpful to the school as we align our academic curriculum with College Board benchmarks. Overall, CRMS students outperform the national averages in demonstrating growth over time on College Board assessments.
*PSAT test scores are not reported to colleges.
*When score reports are posted in December, we strongly encourage students to link their College Board account with Khan Academy so they can make use of this robust study tool.
If you have any questions or a conflict, please contact Nancy Draina, Academic Dean.

Academic Check
2024-10-09
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 first academic check is Wednesday, October 9th.
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.

Family Weekend
2024-10-17 - 2024-10-19
RSVP for Family Weekend
Family Weekend is an annual event that brings family members to campus. The purpose of the weekend is to give students and their families an opportunity to be together in the school community and to meet with teachers and advisors, visit classes and Student-Led Conferences, listen to speakers on parenting and college counseling topics, and participate in the life of the school.
Highlighting the weekend is the CRMS Coffee House (the student talent show) as well as other fun fall programming.
This year, published author and college admissions expert, Becky Munsterer Sabky, will join the program, and we have re-envisioned the weekend to allow families to spend more time with their student and take full advantage of the CRMS experience.
