Welcome

California Middle School strives to create a student-centered environment that provides our students with the tools necessary to become productive citizens who will make a positive impact in society. We embrace our district’s motto of “equipping today’s children for tomorrow’s challenges” by striving to maximize each student’s learning potential. The Middle School also offers a wide variety of enrichment opportunities including various clubs, athletics, and activities with the goal of developing the total student.

Building and maintaining a strong partnership with parents is paramount to our success as an educational institution. Our staff has a goal of fostering positive relationships while providing challenging curriculum to all of our of students.

I am entering my first year as the Principal at California Middle School after having served as the CMS Assistant Principal the past three years. In that time, I have been incredibly impressed with our staff, our students and our community!

    💚 September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month 💚
    Each week, we will be sharing important information about suicide prevention. This week, we are focusing on understanding suicide risk, promoting evidence-based treatment for all, and highlighting messages of hope, recovery, and resilience.
    Together in Strength, Dignity, Hope, and Purpose.
    Key Messages:
    ⚠️ Suicide is preventable. Knowledge, care, and compassion save lives.
    💚 Suicide is complex—knowing the warning signs matters.
    🫶 Prevention means understanding risk, accessing proven care, and sharing hope.
    🌟 Healing is possible—with the right support, people can build resilience and thrive.
    👂 Hope grows when people feel heard. Every healing journey is personal and unique.
    This month, let’s raise awareness, normalize help-seeking, and share resources that work. 💚
    Learn more and access resources through SAMHSA’s #SuicidePreventionMonth toolkit ➡️ samhsa.gov/suicide-prevention-month

    In RTI today, Mrs. Barnard's Class focused on character traits—Cooperation and Perseverance. 💪🧩 After learning strategies for each, students teamed up to tackle a puzzle! They practiced talking it out, making a plan, picturing the goal, and making sure everyone had a part in the process. #Teamwork #Perseverance #PintoPride
