Relay for Life Results are In!
The results are officially in - and CDS Beta is the 3rd Place team for fundraising for the Northwest Hillsborough County Relay for Life! In addition to raising over $5,500, the CDS team was also recognized at the "Most Spirited" team. The event raised almost $90,000 and already has a goal to raise $100,000 next year!

SPEECH AND DEBATE CAMP: Do you like to act/perform? Debate? Or both? Speech & Debate is for YOU! Speech and Debate camp is a fantastic opportunity for all current and incoming high school students interested in competing in Speech & Debate tournaments at their school.
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY: Speech events are individual or duo performances, and Debate events include Student Congress or one on one debate. Students will be able to try various events to learn where they would like to focus and begin to perfect their skill.
HONORS SOCIETY MEMBERSHIP: Students who participate in Speech & Debate in high school also have the chance to join the National Speech & Debate Honors Society (PI KAPPA DELTA) by competing at local, state, and national tournaments throughout the school year.

Mrs. Shelly Hollingsworth, US Learning Specialist, has prepared exam prep calendars for 9th, 10th, and 11th grade students to help plan out their study time so they are well-prepared for all of their exams, while avoiding cramming, all-nighters and academic panic. No Panic - All Confidence!

We greatly value the time and energy our parents dedicate to CDS. Thank you for entrusting us with your children, honoring us with your support, and partnering with us on this important journey.
Medications
If any students currently have medications in the nurse's office, parents will need to pick them up by June 6, 2019. After that, Carrollwood Day School policy directs staff to discard any medication left at the school. We cannot hold medication over summer or send medications home with students.
The medication form completed by parents for the 2018-2019 school year will be void, a new one must be completed for 2019-2020. All medication and special health forms for next year can be found on Magnus Health. The completed forms will need to be uploaded to Magnus Health; no student forms will be turned in to school.

2019-2020 Immunization Requirements
Please be aware of the immunization requirements that are mandated by the Florida Department of Health for students entering or attending school in Florida. A Florida Certification of Immunization (DH 680 form) provided by your child's physician documenting the required vaccinations must be uploaded to Magnus Health before the first day of school. (A new DH 680 form is required only if your child receives additional vaccinations.)
Please contact Mrs. Silvers, CDS School Nurse, if you have any questions. (813.920.2288)
It’s time to TURN IT UP, again! Summer programs are just around the corner. And this summer, students entering grades 9-12 will be able to choose from two math bridge courses and five for-credit academic courses!
Why spend the summer in class? Students have the opportunity to excel as part of a small cohort focusing on one content area without other demands on their schedule. CDS summer classes help students advance in a subject area or fulfill a graduation requirement in order to free up space in their school-year schedule.
