Today we start Staff Appreciation Week at Carroll County Schools! All of our staff members are invaluable to making our students successful. We are appreciative of you every day, but this week our staff members will receive some extra special treats. The Board of Education is providing lunch for each school this week and individual schools are hosting their own celebrations. If you see a Carroll County Schools staff member, give them a pat on the back for their hard work! 🖤💛


📣 Reminder! All Pro Dad’s is meeting tomorrow morning in the CCMS auditorium. 📣


Carroll County Middle School students practiced presenting their capstone projects last week. Students met in small groups with adults who listened to their presentation and provided feedback. These eighth graders worked with CCMS Principal Dr. Robin Stephenson and Federal Programs Coordinator Amanda New.
A friendly reminder that Carroll County Schools is not in session on Friday, May 1. Please enjoy the long weekend!


The Carroll County middle and elementary track teams will compete in a 10-team invitational on Friday, April 24. The eighth grade members of the CCMS team will be recognized before the meet. The ceremony is scheduled to begin at 5:20 p.m. with field events at 5:30 p.m. and running events at 6 p.m. Please join us in supporting our Panther student athletes! 🖤💛

Carroll County Middle School students in the gifted and talented program recently completed a Future City STEM project where they imagined, designed, and built their own cities of the future 🏙️. The focus of the project was creating an eco-friendly city that incorporated sustainable features such as renewable energy, green spaces 🌳, and environmentally responsible transportation.🚲
Students were required to design and construct their city using recycled materials ♻️ while working within a strict timeframe. This challenge encouraged creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving while applying real-world engineering and STEM concepts.
In addition to building the physical model, students will also complete a written component and presentation explaining the sustainable features and design of their city.🌍📝

The i-Ready MyPath is a personalized program that provides tailored reading and mathematics lessons for students, allowing them to work at their own level to fill knowledge gaps. These students have completed reading and/or math to advance to the next level.
“All students in the middle school have the opportunity to use this program in conjunction with their grade level content in the core class. It is important for them to complete the MyPath because it will help ensure that they have the essential skills to be successful in high school,” explained CCMS Instructional Coach Mandy Young. Those who complete i-Ready move onto Khan Academy, which provides accelerated materials that are beyond their grade level.
Congratulations Pathers on your accomplishment!
