Dear CSAMS Families,
On behalf of the entire CSAMS staff, I would like to wish you and your families a Happy New Year! I am so excited for what lies ahead for our school community during 2026. Here are a few highlights of our whole child programming your student will experience over the course of the next few months:
Day of Service: Once again we will be celebrating the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. by sponsoring our 4th annual Day of Service. Unlike year's past, many students will have an opportunity to leave campus to participate in service roles throughout our community. We will also have many opportunities for students to participate in activities right here at school, and of course, we will be welcoming student guests from other school districts to join in the fun!
Career Day: In February, CSAMS will be hosting our annual Career Day! Each year we invite family and community members into our school to share information about their career with our middle school students. This exciting event provides students a glimpse into their futures...a future where anything is possible with hard work and a growth mindset.
Snow Tubing Fun Day: Middle school students will be off campus for some fun in late January as we travel by POD to Hawk Island Park to spend some team building time snow tubing.
From future planning to philanthropy to fun physical activities, the first few months of 2026 have something for everyone!
In partnership with you,
Dina Barnaby
Explorer/Middle School Girls Basketball Tryouts will take place at CSPA on Monday, January 12th. This is a pay to participate team and those who make the team must complete a sport registration after the roster is announced. Students do not need to register with SEP and pay until AFTER the first try-out/practice and they have made the team.
Students are required to have a completed athletic physical form in order to participate in Basketball try-outs. This is mandated by state and federal law. Valid physical forms for the 2025-2026 school year that have been completed and signed by approved medical personnel must be dated April 15, 2025 or later in order to be accepted.
Our Athletics Department is looking for a EXP/MS JV Basketball coach for our 2026 basketball season. We are looking for motivated individuals who would like to work with our CSA District students to help build the basketball program at CSAMS.
