Principal Message

CES Families,

Last call for Socktober sock drive! Students can drop off their new sock donations outside the front office. 

Keep in mind our costume rules for Friday. Masks and weapons are not allowed. Please do not send them to school. 

I hope you've all been able to enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!

See you tomorrow! 

Warmly,

Bus Expectations

We have seen an increase in behavioral issues on the bus and would appreciate your help in reviewing bus expectations with your child.
Please remind your child of the following expectations:
  • Cross the road safely and always follow proper safety procedures when getting on or off the bus.
  • Remain seated for the entire ride to help ensure the safety of all students.
  • Phone usage: Any personal use of phones or other devices should not create problems, distract the driver, or interfere with the safety of others. This includes playing music (should not be audible to others) and no picture or video taking on the bus. 
Working together helps ensure a safe and respectful environment for everyone on the bus. Thank you for your support!

October Character Trait- Responsibility

For the month of October, our focus will be on Responsibility. Students will be learning about and practicing how to:
  • Take ownership of their actions and choices.
  • Follow through on commitments and complete tasks.
  • Make safe, respectful decisions at school and in the community.
We invite you to reinforce this trait at home by encouraging your child to take responsibility in age-appropriate ways, such as completing chores, managing their belongings, and being accountable for their words and actions.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students grow as responsible learners and community members.
