Dear Carbondale New School Families,

Our first Corporation meeting is scheduled for Wednesday, August 27^th at 6:30pm. Child care will be provided to make it easier for your family to attend.

As a parent of a CNS student, you are part of the CNS Corporation. These Corporation meetings are held three times a year and your attendance is essential as we often need a Corporation vote on a particular item. As members of the Corporation, your vote is important to the success of our school.

After the Corporation meeting the teachers and staff will be in their classrooms until 8:00pm if you would like to stop by for a visit. I look forward to seeing all of you there!
