CMAS Testing
Dear Southmoor Families,
Just a quick reminder that CMAS testing starts on April 5th.
You can support your child by making sure he/she gets enough sleep and has a healthy breakfast.
In addition, it is important that students arrive to school on time and are at school all day.
The testing schedule can be found on the website.

TJ Talks: Raising Balanced Teens (in the Digital Age)
with Family Mindfulness Counselor Michael Vladeck
Thursday, April 6th 6-8pm
Thomas Jefferson High School Auditorium
Free and open to the public
Mindfulness counselor Michael Vladeck has presented to countless schools on
raising more grounded, self-aware teens and creating stronger family connections in the midst of digital distractions.
Whether as a follow up to Screenagers or for your own edification, please join us for a special night focusing on:
・ Science-based evidence on the actual impacts of excessive screen use on the development of your child
・ Specific strategies and resources to manage screen use in a way that empowers your kids and eliminates fighting and power-struggles
・ How to raise more grounded and self-aware children amidst the distractions of screens and the negative influences of pop-culture
・ How to create deeper and stronger connection with your children as a result of working towards more balanced screen management
・ How to show up more effectively, supportively and lovingly as a parent in the midst of the issues and concerns you will work though.
Hope to see you there! Thank you!
