CMS PARENTS,

⚠️⚠️ACTION NEEDED‼️‼️:

Each year, our district participates in the Federal Impact Aid Survey, which helps secure important funding for our schools. These funds support educational programs and services that directly benefit all Bossier students.

It’s quick and easy—taking only 1–5 minutes to complete—and will be available starting October 1, 2026, with a deadline of October 23, 2026.

To complete the survey:

https://bossierschools.jotform.com/262454633048963

Use your student’s student access code to prepopulate the form (details are provided on the survey page). The student's access code is their student's LID number found in their oncourse.

Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the survey.

For more information about the survey, please visit www.bossierschools.org/impactaid. If you need help completing the form, please fill out the Parent Technology Support Form, and someone from our team will reach out to assist you.

Thank you for your help in securing vital federal funding for our schools. We appreciate your support!

⚠️⚠️Congratulations to our Staff Members of the Week:

Teacher of the Week: Ms. Armitage, 6th Grade
Support Staff of the Week: Ms. Reed, GASP

Thank you both for your hard work and dedication. We appreciate you!

‼️CMS parents and students:‼️

🎉We have a wonderful opportunity for our students to receive FREE, weekly math tutoring on our campus from 2:30 - 3:30 (after school) each Wednesday for the first semester. However, students must have a ride home; there will not be bus transportation after tutoring each Wednesday. Students must have a way home either in a car pick up or walking home within a one mile radius. You can sign your student up for as many tutoring Wednesday sessions as you are interested in!

If you are interested in having your child tutored, please use this link below to register.
