Fall picture retakes will be on Friday, October 11. All students that were absent on the original picture day will have their picture taken. If you would like retakes from the original pictures, please send a note with your child. Please be sure to return the original pictures if you are having retakes.

Rock Your School Day is a day committed to trying out a new strategy or idea to increase engagement in our students and further support a love of learning! The focus of the day is to get our students excited about learning new things with higher rigor. Join the fun by dressing in your best Rock-n-Roll outfit on Friday, September 27.

Don't forget our first Family Engagement Night on September 19th from 6:00- 7:00. CES will become an “Escape Room” for our students. Students will visit different rooms and do an activity to earn them a clue. Clues will help students “escape” and earn a special treat waiting for them on the playground. We can’t wait to see you all on the 19th.
