CMS Message from Principal Short - 2.1.24: Colonia Middle School Families, As we begin our second semester today, I wanted to express my appreciation to our entire school community. I continue to live by my professional motto, “It is a PRIVILEGE to work at this school.” The meaning is very simple: -It is a PRIVILEGE to work with your children. -It is a PRIVILEGE to work with our families. -It is a PRIVILEGE to work with our dedicated staff. -It is a PRIVILEGE to work with our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO). -It is a PRIVILEGE to work with our stakeholders in the community. I am very proud of what our students have accomplished so far this year and we will continue to work in providing the best possible middle school experience. Here are a few reminders: -Monday, February 5th – Marking Period 2 Report Cards available on Parent Access at 8 AM. -We are participating in the township-wide “Have-A-Heart” food drive to support our local food banks. We are encouraging students to bring in non-perishable food items to their Period 1 Classes up until 2/16/24. Thank you and enjoy your evening. Joseph A. Short Principal, Colonia Middle School

CMS Families, As a reminder, if your child is planning on or even not sure they are going to try out for a sport (cheer included), they will need an approved sports physical before try outs. That means that it will need to be handed into the nurse 3-4 weeks before try outs to be sent to the township doctor for approval. If it is flagged for further evaluations (cardiac clearance, vision, etc.) it may take longer. Please make sure all pages are filled out with parent and athlete signatures. The "Athlete with special needs" page must be filled out by everyone, even if you don't have needs. Just mark yes/no and sign the bottom. All the forms can be found on my site under the "Athletic Forms". Forms required are: -History Form (parent fills out - please Explain all "yes" answers on bottom right side-it will save a phone call to you asking about it). -Physical Exam Form (Doctor completes)- Bring your glasses if you wear them. -Clearance Form (Doctor completes) - must have Dr. stamp on it. - Athlete with special needs form (parent completes). -Concussion forms (parent and athlete). - Sudden cardiac death sign off (parent and athlete) - pamphlet is on my site to read. - Health history update (parent completes if physical exam date more than 90 days). There are sports physical packets available for pick up in the main office as well. You can drop off completed Sports Physicals in the main office or email to me during the summer. Please make sure the email copy is legible (not blurry or cut off). The originals will need to be handed in in September but I will try to save you a trip. Excel Urgent Care in Iselin is offering FREE sports physicals, see my site for info. My site can be found at https://sites.google.com/wtsdnj.com/staceycacchionern/home Have a healthy and safe Summer!
