The CMSD school transfer request period will be open September 8-11. Transfer requests can be submitted at your child's current school, the CMSD Welcome Center, or Natividad Pagan International Newcomers Academy.

Families can also submit a request online.

🌞🐆 EVERY DAY COUNTS AT SUNBEAM! 💙💛

Our Jaguars can’t learn, grow, build relationships, and reach their full potential if they aren’t in the building. Every day and every minute matters!

📚 When scholars attend school consistently, they have more opportunities to:
✨ Learn important skills
📖 Grow in reading & math
🤝 Build relationships
🎯 Receive academic support
💙 Feel connected to their school community

⏰ BE HERE. BE ON TIME. BE READY TO LEARN.

We know that life happens, and sometimes attendance challenges are unavoidable. Our goal is not to punish families—it’s to partner with families. If barriers are impacting your scholar’s attendance, please reach out to us. We are here to help!

💙💛 SUNBEAM ATTENDANCE PROMISE:
Every Day. Every Scholar. Every Opportunity.

Let’s work together to make sure our Jaguars are HERE, LEARNING, GROWING & SUCCEEDING! 🐆🌞

09/03/2026

September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we're encouraging all CMSD families to make attendance a top priority this school year.

When scholars attend school every day, they're more likely to stay on track academically, build meaningful relationships, and feel connected to their school community.

This month and throughout the year, we're letting everyone know: Attendance Matters.

Be present. Be engaged. Be ready to learn.

Stay connected to your child's school transportation with the Edulog Parent Portal!

With Edulog Parent Portal, families can track their student's bus in real time, view current transportation assignments, and see how close the bus is to the bus stop. Plus, when students scan their new CMSD ID card upon entering and exiting the bus, parents can receive notifications showing when and where their child got on and off.

✅ Real-time bus tracking
✅ Transportation assignment information
✅ Bus boarding and drop-off notifications
✅ Available for all routed students

To get started, have your child's District ID number ready. Don't have it? A parent or guardian can visit their child's school to obtain it. Your District ID number is the same as your Student ID number.
