Good evening, Yesterday's flash flooding on the southern end of the County has impacted students and their families. If you have a Calhoun County Schools' student in your household that was effected with the need for clean up or basic needs, please contact Destiney Montgomery,Psychsocial Coordinator with MHHS and Calhoun County Schools at destiney.murphy@mhhs.healthcare.
Mrs Montgomery will be working with Communities in Schools staff, Calhoun FRN, and the Office of Emergency Services to broker supports for families.

Bus 11 is running 20-30min late due to a mechanical issue.

Lifetouch school photo update. Elementary student families can throw out the form to order pictures previously sent home. Lifetouch will be adjusting prices and sending new order forms with corrected prices soon. If you have already sent payment to school we will return it home Monday evening.

It was brought to our attention there is a possible mistake with the prices for the Elementary Lifetouch pictures. Lifetouch is recommending that Elementary families hold off on payment until they can look farther into the issue.

During the weekly Parent Child Groups, we will be exploring the following Language, Literacy and Math Kindergarten Readiness skill areas: Knowing about the alphabet, books and print; talking and listening; understanding words and sounds; numbers, counting, patterns, sorting and classification; comparison, measurement and geometry. These are all critical skills that your child needs in order to be prepared for Preschool and Kindergarten. I look forward to meeting you and helping prepare your child for school success!


As we are getting ready for the 2023/24 school year I would like to share a few reminders with you.
Immunizations need to be up to date for all new enterers this includes PK and K.
Immunizations for 7th and 12th graders need to be up to date this includes the TDap and Menectra requirements.
If your student requires an emergency medication ( this includes but is not limited to inhalers, seizure meds, epi pens and glucagon) I need to have the order from your health care provider and the medication in hand on or before the first day of school. It is a safety issue for your student for these medications/orders to not be on hand.
I will be available at the back to school bash if you have any questions or want to bring medications for CMHS to me.
School based health has been available for immunizations please call 354-9732 or your regular health care provider to make an appointment if necessary.
