Service As Action Students in the Middle Years Program (MYP) are
expected to complete Service As Action activities, which may arise from classroom lessons or students’ individual interests. These activities occur outside the school hours and must be documented and reflected upon at the end of each semester.
A Service As Action (SA) activity is anything that benefits other people or groups and for which you do not receive payment or a grade. The activity can be something you do through your school (such as tutoring, clubs you are a member of, or campus beautification) or can be something completely separate from your school (such as working with Crisis Assistance Ministry or participating in a neighborhood cleanup).

FAQ
Q: How do I enter CMS School Choice?
You apply for a magnet seat by submitting an application online. Go to the CMS website to locate the link for the lottery application. If you are a new CMS family and have enrolled your student(s) by December 10, 2018, you will be mailed a letter with your student’s ID number and PIN. If your child is a current CMS student, you will receive a letter with your student’s ID number and PIN from your current school. This ID number is also located on the student’s report card or progress report or may be obtained at the student’s school.
Q: How are seats in CMS School Choice allocated?
A: All available CMS School Choice seats will be allocated across three socioeconomic status (SES) categories, high, medium and low, to achieve the greatest socioeconomic diversity possible. Each student will have priority for one of these categories based on home address and data families will be asked to provide during the lottery application.
經常問的問題
preguntas frecuentes Q: How many CMS School Choice programs can be
selected on the application?
A: You may select up to three. Selections must be ranked by the applicant in order of which is desired most.
Q: If my child is not assigned to a CMS School Choice seat, will he or she have another chance?
A: Yes, all applicants who are not assigned during the lottery process will be “wait listed” for their first choice option. If students decide not to take their lottery seat, students on the wait list will be seated in the order they are listed. Applicants will be wait listed for their first choice only.
Q: Can I submit a second lottery application if I participated in the first lottery?
A: Yes, families may participate in the second lottery application process, even if they have previously participated in the first lottery. However, the first lottery application and wait list position will be automatically voided if you reapply in the second or third lottery. Participation in the second or third lottery is best for families who are new to the district and/or who did not participate in the first lottery.
