¡Hola familias espartanas! Su estudiante traerá a casa un “Compromiso de Tres Vías” hoy.

Hello Spartan Families! Your student will be bringing home a “Three Way Pledge” form today. The “Three Way Pledge” outlines the roles of students, parents/guardians, and Cedar Middle School in ensuring student success. Please review and sign the pledge with your students, and have them return signed copies to their Language Arts teacher. Cedar is committed to this three way partnership, and we look forward to a great year.

Friday fun day at Cedar Middle School! Students and staff were full of smiles and laughter, creating wonderful memories together!

Hello Cedar Families,

Just a friendly reminder that parent drop off and pick up is located in the back of the school which is accessed by entering the parking lot from the entrance on Cedar St. closest to Escondido. This is the safest way to drop off and pick up your students.

Welcome back CMS family! Just a friendly reminder that our first day back is on Wednesday, 8/6/25, and will be our usual early out, Wednesday hours for teacher collaboration (8:35 a.m. - 2:27 p.m.).

Safety is one of HUSD’s top priorities. In the unlikely event of an emergency, our schools need to have up-to-date student and parent contact information. If you have not completed the process yet, please go to tinyurl.com/HUSDUpdate All families must complete the update process by 9/30/25. Please help promote safety by updating today. Please contact your school’s front office if you have any questions or need help.
