Catasauqua Middle School faculty and staff are cleaning out student lockers, collecting books from the lockers and bagging personal belongings.

The pickups will be coordinated by the students’ last names. On your assigned day, pickup for students with a last name beginning with A-M is 10 a.m.-noon; last names beginning with N-Z are 1-3 p.m.

May 13: grade 7

May 15: grade 6

May 20: grade 5

May 22: grade 8

The pickup procedure is as follows: Pull up to the main entrance of CMS and open the trunk of your car. Have your child’s last name written on a sheet of paper, large enough to be visible to a staff member standing outside. Another staff member will place your child’s bag in your trunk. Pull up to the designated area to exit your vehicle and close your trunk.

There will be a place to put any textbooks or library books your child may have at home. These books need to be returned at this time. An inventory will be done and a letter mailed home asking for payment for any books not returned.

CMS appreciates your understanding and assistance as we ensure the health and welfare of our staff, students and parents.
