Principal's Pen
Greetings CES Families,
It’s the last week before spring break, and we are continuing Read Across America Week. During this week we celebrate the joy of reading. Students are invited to dress for each day’s theme (see information below). I’m looking forward to a wonderful week.
Remind your child to get any of their lost items from Lost and Found. Items left behind will be donated this week.
Spring ACAP Testing is right around the corner! Our 2nd and 3rd graders will test April 3-6. 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!
Registration for the 2023-24 school year is now open. A snapcode was sent to the primary email address on file. Please complete registration as soon as possible so that we can plan for next year. The district will determine our number of teachers for next year based on registration. We would love to earn additional teachers so that our class sizes decrease. Please encourage your friends to register as soon as possible. You can reach out to Ms. Cothren or Ms. Saylor with any questions.
Soar Eagles,
April Clark
Principal

Lost & Found
Our Lost & Found area is overflowing! Please tell your child to look for his/her missing items. We will donate all remaining items at the end of February.
Attendance
It is vital that students are present each day unless sick. Students are allowed a limit of 7 parent sick notes a year. 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.
Please send excuse notes to your child's teacher or email them to Sarah Cothren.
What's Up in P.E This March
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. The month of February, we worked on balance, movement concepts, and jumping rope. I am really impressed with how far students came in our jump rope unit! In March we will be working on dribbling a basketball and learning dances for the Decades Dance at the end of the month. Feel free to encourage your children to practice at home!
