Principal's Pen
Greetings CES Families,
ACAP Testing begins this week. Our 2nd and 3rd graders will be testing. Our 4th graders will test April 17-20 and April 25-26. Our 5th graders will test April 17-20. Please make sure students arrive to school on time, eat a healthy breakfast at home or at school, and have a charged laptop. Please encourage your child to do his/her best. Every test is practice for the next test! Our attendance challenge begins tomorrow and will continue for the month of April.
Friday is an eLearning Day for students. Your child’s teacher will provide more information about assignments to be completed and how to access Zoom support sessions through the day. Please reach out with any questions.
About 25% of our students have completed registration for the 2023-24 school year. Please encourage your friends to register as soon as possible. You can reach out to Ms. Cothren or Ms. Saylor with any questions. Each Friday we will draw student names for prizes to be given to those who have completed registration. We want all students to be registered by April 15! This will help us to create class lists earlier for next school year.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
Principal

Students are considered truant if they have more than three unexcused absences at any time or if they have more than 18 absences for the year, whether the absences are excused or unexcused.

What's Up in P.E This April?
Hello Golden, Eagles! It's Coach B. I'm excited to give you an update on what your children have been learning in P.E. During the month of March, we worked on dribbling a basketball and learning dances for the Decades Dance. In April we will be playing cooperative games and doing post-testing for the fitness test!
