CMS Parents, Family Members and Guardians, Each day, thousands of CMS team members are privileged to help each one of our students make their unique dreams and aspirations come true. This year's High School Planning Guide has been designed to help you and your student explore options and find educational programs and services that build upon your student's own strengths and talents.

2 I strongly encourage you to talk with your son or daughter to review the information in this packet and to then jointly make educational program choices that reflect both the wisdom of your experience and the brightest hopes of your student. As a community of educators and CMS professionals, we are on this journey with you. If you need help at any time throughout this planning process, please do not hesitate to speak with your student's guidance counselor or a member of the adminis- trative team. Together, we can create a plan for your student that builds the strongest possible foundation for their growth, development, and educational success.
