The Rossview Playhouse proudly presents, DEARLY BELOVED, by Jessie Jones, Nicholas Hope, and Jamie Wooten November 3^rd, 4^th, and 5^th in the Rossview High School main theatre at 7:00 PM.  This joyful Southern-fried comedy about love, marriage, sisterhood, and three hundred pounds of good, ol’ pit barbecue is pure hilarity, Texas style!  An over-the-top wedding, three feuding sisters, and a church full of small-town eccentrics will have you laughing all the way down the aisle!  Tickets are $5.00 on GoFan.com. See you there!

On Friday, October 28, Rossview High had its first Trunk or Treat & Fall Festival.  Clubs and Sports all contributed to the booths as well as food trucks.  The decorations were amazing.  It was a huge success1!  The community came out and shared in all the fun.  Thank you to Jayme Stanley who did an amazing job in organizing the event.

On Wednesday, October 26, the Marine Corps came to speak to the  junior and senior classes of the Fire Management Program, under the instruction of Caleb Slaughter, about the possibility of becoming a firefighter in the Marines on Wednesday, October 26.

All CMCSS high schools host a Stop, Drop, FAFSA event for 12th-grade students.  School leaders help students understand the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) process, answer questions regarding the application, and assist with the next steps.

Confusion surrounding the FAFSA application process is one of the most common reasons students do not fill out the forms. School leaders encourage all CMCSS Seniors to complete the application to know of any aide available to them. Many colleges, universities, and technical schools require completion of the FAFSA as part of the admission process, whether students qualify or not. The TN Promise requires completion of the application by March 1.

The application period for the 2023-2024 school year opened on October 1, 2022. The earlier families apply, the better their chance of receiving financial resources.

Several common myths surround the FAFSA, according to collegefortn.org. Read more about the Five Common Financial Aid Myths.

For families who may have questions or need additional assistance understanding the application process, CMCSS has several helpful resources.

Help for Families

Email Helpline: Parents and students can email [email protected] where they will be connected to a CMCSS representative for help and guidance.

Text Helpline: Students and parents can text FAFSA to 335577 to receive mobile support from “Get Schooled.” The mobile program assists students with a variety of services.

Video Tutorials: Assistance is available from StudentAid.gov with a video instructional series.
