It's been a fantastic beginning of the year! Congratulations to our students who have gone above and beyond for being Kind, Knowledgeable and Brave the last three weeks.
Our students (and staff) had an amazing time at our Day-Glo dance party last night!
Mr. Lyles is playing Gomez Addams in "The Addams Family" musical at the Garfield Center for the Arts in Chestertown! Ms. Shufelt, Ms. Ferris, and Ms. Willis ventured out for opening weekend!

Congratulations to our first Power Players of the 2023-2024 school year!
At CRMS, we have a little something for everybody. Encouraging Kindness, Knowledge, and Bravery is our daily mission. Check out some of the bulletin boards that welcomed students back to the 2023-2024 School Year. See more pics on our Facebook!
Good attendance for your student begins on the first day of the school year. Consider the following facts:
Chronic absenteeism may prevent children from reaching early milestones.
Chronically absent students have difficulty keeping up with the pace at which they are expected to learn and grow.
Students who are absent even a day or two every few weeks fall behind their peers.
Irregular attendance can be a better predictor of whether students will drop out before graduation than test scores.
Consistent, on-time attendance is a habit that lasts into adulthood.
In addition to wanting the best possible education for your child, we also closely monitor absences because Maryland law requires that children ages 5-18 attend school. Students may be withdrawn if not attending school regularly; students not enrolled or attending will be considered truant.
How Can Parents Encourage Good Attendance?
Build good attendance habits early so children know that getting to school on time every day is important!
Set a regular bedtime & morning routine, laying out clothes and backpacks the night before.
Avoid scheduling appointments & trips when school is in session.
Don't let your child stay home unless he/she is truly sick.
Consider that sometimes a stomach ache or headache is a sign of anxiety. If your child seems anxious about going to school, talk to the school about helpful resources.
Please share! Parents/Guardians, join us for a virtual Family Mental Health Night, Sept. 13, 8-9:00 via Zoom. See below for details; registration: https://tinyurl.com/ye9drns9
