Spirit Rock!

Reserve the spirit rock for your special day (birthdays or any celebrations). Reserve a date using this link (donation suggested goes to PTA fundraising) and then paint the day before! There is a rock in the carpool parking lot and also one in the HAC/bus lot - make sure to reserve the right one. There are also companies/individuals who will paint for you if you aren't creatively inclined! The rock date reservation form is found on the PTSA website under Spirit Rock and the $5 optional donation can also be paid on the PTSA website through Pay4SchoolStuff ($5.41 with online fee). You can also drop a check or cash in an envelope in the school office addressed to the PTSA. Make sure to include "spirit rock" and your name. Thank you!

Hawthorne's Read A Slice, Have A Slice Challenge

Picture
We are so excited to announce Carmel Middle School’s partnership with Hawthorne’s New York Pizza this school year. Students will have the opportunity to participate in the Hawthorne’s Read a Slice, Eat a Slice Challenge. This is a monthly reading challenge to get students excited about reading books that peak their interest. When students meet the requirements by reading their monthly page goal, showing their comprehension of the text, and designing a book review bookmark, they will earn a free Hawthorne’s large pizza at the Carmel Road or Rea Road location. Parents will get involved by discussing their child's reading selections and signing their book reviews. Student book reviews will then be displayed in the school to spark the interest of their classmates as well. To get all of the details, please check out the video here. A big thank you to Hawthorne’s Pizza for providing our students with this opportunity!

PE T-Shirts

Carpool Notice

Picture
To ensure all students are safe during dismissal, please cease parking in the neighborhood to pick up your child. Often, you are picking up your student after they would be picked up using our established carpool pattern. CMPD will be alerted going forward for cars blocking neighborhood driveways. Those not using our established carpool pattern are putting their own kids and others at risk when students are walking in high traffic unnecessarily. Students will be held back at school for parents to come pick up if you are creating an unsafe dismissal. This is in the best interest of our students' safety.

We would love your help!

Picture
We would love your help with new volunteer opportunities! The Welcome Desk at Carmel Middle School is ready for you! We hope you will volunteer your time and smile. This is a great opportunity to help out the front office staff so please considering signing up. Training is available for new volunteers. Questions can be sent to Sara Leighton​ or 704-706-5958. Please sign up at Carmel Middle School Welcome Desk Signup.
