Back-to-School Open House Videos

  • CMS Departments collaborated with the Learning and Language Acquisition Department to share the essence of the service and support they provide for families, districtwide. This collaborative effort resulted in the creation of the recorded Back-to-School Open House videos.   These videos serve the purpose of providing essential information, in a welcoming environment, for all families, especially those new to the district and those with Multilingual backgrounds. They are an informative resource for families to become familiar with the district's policies, procedures, and resources, ultimately helping them acclimate to the CMS community as valued stakeholders in their student's education. These videos have been prepared in English and the top ten languages of the school district (Spanish, Russian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese, Portuguese, French, Arabic, Tamil, Telugu, Hindi, and Chinese) to support language access for these families.
