Principal’s Message
Dear CBMS families,
CHESAPEAKE BAY MIDDLE SCHOOL
I hope everyone had a rejuvenating holiday break with family and friends. As we head
into winter and begin the second half of the school year, it is a good time to review how to
help our students build on their work in the first semester and finish the year strongly. It
starts with attendance: this is the time of year when students typically fall behind due to
illness. Please ensure your student is dressed appropriately for the weather and is keeping
up their resistance with adequate rest; if they do become sick, we ask that they remain
home while contagious so as not to spread their illness to classmates. AACPS attendance
policy permits parents to write an excuse note for illness covering up to five consecutive
school days – anything longer requires a doctor’s note. Please make sure your student
brings his attendance note in within three days.
Another important part of success is helping your student prioritize their focus. If you set
aside a time each week to review their progress with ParentCONNEXTxp information, as
well as any materials your student has brought home, then you can help them decide how
to use their ASH and advisory opportunities. This year we have instituted a 30 minute advisory period at the end of each day to provide more opportunities for students who are
struggling to get help without having to wait up to a week for ASH. Most students at this
age need a little guidance to decide where to focus their efforts: if each teacher is asking
your student to see them at advisory, then he can easily become confused – your guidance, based on his current grades, can help him set priorities.
Perhaps the most important ingredient for your student’s success is their work ethic. A
strong, consistent message from home about the importance of education and the need for
hard work and tenacity, even when discouraged, is critical for students this age. Student
class and program placement decisions will be made in the spring and summer, largely
based on how students perform on PARCC and how they finish the year in all their classes. Your student’s willingness to take responsibility for his or her learning and work hard
will be the primary factors in their achievement. Please continue to stress how important
that is, and how you always are there to support them. They hear the same message from
us every day – together, we will help them reach their academic goals.
I hope everyone stays warm and healthy this winter. Thank you for your continued support of CBMS.

News from your CBMS Library
Happy New Year students and parents!!! The New Year is just beginning and we want to challenge everyone
with the New Year’s resolution to read more this year! A great place to start is with our Black Eyed Susan
books. Each year librarians all over Maryland pick 10 books for students to read in various grade ranges. At
CBMS we encourage students to read the books on the Graphic Novel list, the 4-6th grade list and the 6th-9th
grade list. Check out the book marks on the next page for the books on this year’s Black Eyed Susan list!
Every student that reads 3 by the end of the year gets to vote on their favorite and come to our Black Eyed Susan party at the end of the year
Our new Maker Space is off and running! We have origami, paper crafts, coloring pages/bookmarks, Legos, a
MackyMacky, board games and even a camcorder that can be taken apart! Students can use the Maker Space
during lunches and after school on Tuesdays. Check it out!
Anime/Manga Club
Anime and Manga Club meets the last Thursday of every month. If you love watching Anime
or reading Manga make sure to make our next meeting. This past month’s meeting we discussed our favorite Anime and Mange and worked on creating posters of our favorites for the
library media center. Our next meeting will be on March 24th. Hope to see you there!
Book Club
The 6th grade book club is meeting each week on Tuesdays. They are reading
The Limit by Kristen Landon. 7th grade and 8th grade book club will be starting

Parking in designated fire lanes and/or bus loops is prohibited. This prohibition extends to staff, students,
visitors, spectators at athletic events, clubs, etc. Any vehicle parked in a fire lane or obstructing a fire hydrant
must be moved to an authorized parking space.
As you know, in a critical emergency, the loss of even one minute caused by vehicles blocking fire and police
department access can become critical Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.

Cameras
Chesapeake Bay Middle School is equipped with a video camera system. It covers selected interior and exterior public portions of the building and grounds. It is NOT monitored constantly, but it is monitored during
emergency situations. During certain events, when the safety or security of students may be in question, authorized personnel from local, state, or federal police or fire emergency units may be given
access to view images projected on the camera system. If you have any questions about the
system, you should call the Supervisor of School Security at 410-222-5083.
PBIS
The PBIS Committee is asking for donations of balls, sidewalk chalk
or outdoor games. These items can be dropped off in the B-Side
Office. Thank you in advance for your donation.
Exceptional Transportation Forms
If you child needs to ride another student’s bus for day care or family emergency, an
Exceptional Transportation Request form must be filled out by the parent. In an
emergency situation, parents can send in a note, but we also need a note from the
adult whose home your child will be going to. We have to give out the address and
phone number of that person to the bus driver and we need permission to do that.
CELL PHONES
Cell phones are not permitted to be used in school. Students are required to have them
turned off. Often times, we have students come to the office to say their parent called
or texted them, which means they have their phone turned on.
Security Procedures
Parents:
Please understand that we are required by the Board of Education Security Office to insist that all persons who
enter our school building have appropriate ID, just to enter. Upon entering, your ID is checked through our
security data base system and the students’ demographic information. If there is a security issue or you are not
listed as a person being allowed contact with a student or the student’s information, we must, at the very least,
contact the parent(s) or guardian(s) listed on the students’ emergency forms to get verification and permission
to allow you to pick up or even speak to a student. We can only use the information that is on file. If contact
is not made for any reason, you will not have access to the student or the student’s information. Please remember, you must be listed on the emergency form in order to take a student out of the building.
We cannot give any information to anyone over the phone. If you are a parent or guardian and need information by telephone, we will call you back, but only from the information we have on file. We cannot take a
call back number from the person who called, because we cannot verify over the phone who we are speaking
to. This is for your child’s protection.
Early Dismissal
Although it is not mandatory for students to bring in a note in the morning if they have to be dismissed early, it
is extremely helpful. Students can go to the cafeteria in the morning and get an early dismissal pass. They then
show this pass to the teacher whose class they are in at the time they need to be dismissed and the teacher will
allow the student to come to the office. This procedure, although not perfect, allows the student to be in the
office when the parent arrives, expediting dismissal. Often times, students who have not gotten an early dismissal pass or don’t know that someone is coming to get them, have to be located by someone from the office.
Their class could be in the media, one of the computer labs, PE or outside on one of the athletic fields, which
causes a delay. If a student is in PE and has dressed for gym, he or she will have to go to the locker room and
change before coming to the office. If there is not a teacher in the locker room at the time, the student will not
be able to get in. If the student has a note ahead of time and notifies the PE teacher of the early dismissal, the
teacher most likely will not expect the student to dress for PE.
Please understand, that for security purposes, we are NOT ALLOWED to call a student out of class for a parent
who has called in to request this. We must be able to check ID before we call a student out of class who has
not been given an early dismissal pass ahead of time.
Students Calling Home or Receiving Messages
We would ask that you encourage your child to leave a message if they call home for something. There are
many phones in the building and if you see our number on your caller ID and no message, the child could have
called from anywhere in the building and we may not know who the child is or where they called from. We
try to encourage them to do so also, if we are aware of them using the phone.
If a child asks you to bring something to them that they have forgotten, please tell them that you will leave it
in the office for them to get whatever it is between classes. There is no way for us to get materials to a student
without interrupting class instruction. This is extremely distractive and the momentum is often lost. This also
applies to getting messages to students. We have to interrupt instruction to do so. This means the teacher and
the entire class are distracted. While we know there are sometimes extenuating circumstances, the less we
have to interrupt instruction the better. We would ask that you not request us to get a message to a student unless it is an emergency.

Connecting You and Your Child to Information on Our Journey to Greatness
The evidence is consistent, positive, and convincing: families have a major influence on
their children’s achievement. When schools, families, and community groups work
together to support learning, children tend to do better in school, stay in school longer,
and like school more.” Anne T. Henderson, Karen L. Mapp
Helping Children Cope with Crisis in Our World
Tips for Parents
While we welcome the happy possibilities of the New Year, last
month’s tragic events in Paris and San Bernardino still linger.
School staff have researched good resources to use both to
reassure students about their safety and to ensure that all of our
students, particularly our Muslim youngsters, continue to feel
safe and supported in their schools. As always, it is critical that
parents are active partners with school staff to prevent
intolerance and to help students respond effectively to biasmotivated behaviors.
The National Association of School Psychologists offers key
messages and many tips for parents, teachers and schools.
Excerpts from two articles follow. See NASPonline.org/resources
for these and additional resources.
Promoting Compassion and Acceptance in Crisis
A natural reaction to acts of extreme violence, like school shootings,
rioting, and terrorist attacks, is the desire to lash out and punish the
perpetrators or perceived enemy. While anger is a normal response felt by
many, we must ensure an already tragic situation is not compounded with
hateful reactions against innocent individuals. Children, in particular, may
have difficulty handling their feelings appropriately and they can easily
pick up negative cues given by adults around them. Given the diversity of
America’s schools, some students may become targets of hostility and
blame.
Adults can help children understand the importance of treating all
people with dignity and not judging entire groups of people for the actions
of a few. Most importantly, adults must model compassion and acceptance
of differences in their words and behavior. They should also encourage
children to explore their feelings about prejudice and hate… and to
incorporate into their values the true strength of our country—our
commitment to individual freedom and upholding the respect and dignity of
all people.
Help Your Children Feel Safe
All Adults Should:
1. Model calm and control. Avoid appearing anxious or frightened.
2. Reassure children they are safe and (if true) so are the important
adults and other loved ones in their lives. Depending on the situation,
point out factors that ensure their immediate safety and that of their
community.
