Gift Exchange- Students are to bring a gift of no more than $35 for the gift exchange. We will do a game to determine who gets what gift. Gifts should be something any middle school student would like. Students who do not bring a gift will not participate.

Students need to choose whether they will attend the dance at Weld Central Middle School or stay at CCA for an afternoon of games and other activities. Parents need to arrange their own transportation if their child decides to attend the dance. The dance costs $5; student should bring the money to the dance on Friday.

The dance starts at 1:30pm and goes until 3pm. If students do attend the dance, they should not return to the CCA middle school once the dance ends.

Students should inform homeroom teachers Wednesday morning if they are going to the dance or staying at CCA.

Eligibility for WCMS Sports is pulled on Thursdays. Missing assignments must be turned in to teachers by 7:30am Thursday morning. Missing flags can be removed from the gradebook before pulling eligibility, but assignments may not be graded. Most of the time, they will be graded along with other assignments from the week.

Please remind your athlete that they are expected to check in with their elective teachers/classes for their make-up work, due to leaving for practice and games. Depending on the class, material may need to be self taught using the teacher provided resources.
