The Movie Being Shown is Tron: Ares - Rating PG-13

Big Horn Cinemas will be showing the movie, “Tron: Ares”, a science fiction action film. The story premise is that a highly sophisticated digital Program, named Ares, is sent from the virtual Grid into the real world on a dangerous mission. This marks what the film presents as humanity’s first encounter with a sentient artificial intelligence program outside of the digital realm.

The Motion Picture Association (MPA) has given Tron: Ares a PG-13 rating, primarily for its violence/action sequences.

Parents/Guardians MUST provide permission via the Google Form for students to attend the movie activity.

Student Scholarship Options

Some of our students who are eligible to attend our Friday Rewards Day may not be able to attend because of their families' financial situation. If you would be willing to sponsor an additional student or two, please feel free to include extra money in the form of a cash or check (made out to CMS) to the Front Office, any day prior to Friday, October 10.

Should the amount of money we receive in scholarships outmatch our students’ need, any additional scholarship money donated will go towards our Spring Friday Rewards Day, end of the year celebration field trips, and/or paying down student lunch account balances at the end of the school year.

Transportation and Supervision: All off-campus activities will be supervised by CMS teachers and staff members, and transportation will be provided by the school. Attendance will be taken before departure and upon return to ensure student safety.

Remediation for Ineligible Students: Students not eligible for Rewards Day will remain on campus in a remediation setting to complete missing assignments and work toward academic improvement.

Thank you for supporting our Friday Rewards Day program. This initiative celebrates students’ positive efforts and reinforces a culture of accountability, achievement, hard work, and respect at Cody Middle School.
