(Plain Press, February 2016) CMSD also has set up a new school choice portal.

The portal will:

• allow new families to log in and make a choice. In the past, families who were new to the District had to register students in person.
• include an interactive map that shows schools and proximity to students’ homes.
• list academic data and “conditions for learning” scores – student ratings for safety, support and academic rigor.
• allow parents to stay up to date by registering for email and text messaging.
• let families choose and rank up to eight choices, an increase from the previous limit of five.

New and current CMSD families can find the new portal searching for: CMSD Enrollment Portal. They can sign in or create an account to use the portal to explore school options.
