Wipe Out the Flu RESCHEDULED for 2/21

VOLUNTEERS & DONATIONS NEEDED!

Like many schools, CPMS has been hit hard by the flu. While our custodial staff is top notch, they are not prepared to deal with a flu outbreak. 

We're having a drive to collect Clorox Wipes and engaging volunteers to come into every classroom on Wednesday the 21st at 2:30pm (when students are gone) to "WIPE DOWN" classroom desks and cafeteria tables. Let's WIPE OUT THE FLU!

Since students will be off campus we have fewer barriers and restrictions meaning, bring some friends. We've got around 50 classrooms plus the cafeteria and library so we'll need as many hands as possible.

Clorox (or generic brand) wipes can be dropped off in the office.

PTC-sponsored PACK Store Offers a Variety of Prizes

Cedar Park's PACK store (formerly the PBIS store) is open for business every other Thursday during students' lunch periods, allowing students to turn in their paper PACK tickets (earned from teachers) and choose from a variety of prizes, including tic tacs, pens, socks, games, and other novelty items.

This PTC-sponsored store is a part of CPMS's Positive Behavior Intervention System.  Students earn tickets from teachers and staff by demonstrating behaviors that represent the CPMS pillars:  Perseverance, Acceptance, Courage, Knowledge.

Students can save these tickets for larger prizes, spend as they earn them, or add them to the PACK raffle, which offers fun drawings for gift cards and school swag.

Parents are always needed to operate the PACK store.  Login to myvolunteerpage.com, Opportunities—> School Support —> PACK store to see the available shifts. Any questions can be directed to CPMS's Director of Volunteers, Angela Redmon.

Earned PACK tickets decorate the cafeteria windows.
