Greetings CES Families,

Spring ACAP Testing begins this week for our 2nd and 3rd graders! See the schedule below for all test dates. Please make sure students arrive to school on time, eat a healthy breakfast at home or at school, and have their charged laptop. Please encourage your child to do his/her best. Every test is practice for the next test!

Report Cards went home with students last week. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s report card, feel free to reach out to your child’s teacher to set up a conference.

Our next PBIS Celebration is Friday, April 4. You can volunteer here to help make this a fun day! We have made changes to requirements for attending our remaining PBIS Celebrations this school year. Due to the high number of students who have had behavior infractions for Inappropriate Physical Contact and Aggression, most of which have fallen under pushing, hitting, and horseplay, we feel it is best to target this behavior so that it will decrease at our school. Students must still earn the required number of tickets to attend the monthly PBIS Celebration (as determined by each grade level). If a student has an Office Disciplinary Referral (a Level 2 or higher behavior infraction as outlined in the HCS Student Code of Contact), for the month, (s)he will not attend that month’s PBIS Celebration. Further, if a student has more than two Level 1 negative behavior infractions documented in BLOOM, our record-keeping behavior management system, (s)he will not attend that month’s PBIS Celebration. I will continue to remind students of these requirements. Please talk to your child(ren) about appropriate school behavior, especially when it comes to keeping hands, feet, and objects to themself. Our students learn more when they are allowed to focus on learning instead of horseplay. Thank you for your support.

Thank you to everyone who volunteered at our Decades Bash! We had so much fun!

K for a Day is Friday, April 25. Please tell your friends who have rising kindergarten students so that they can register to attend this fun and informative event. The flyer is below.

Registration for the 2025-26 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. Carter with any questions.

Our attendance rate has improved since the sickness of January and February took us by storm! Let’s keep it up! Every day counts for our students’ academic, social, and emotional well-being. When you stress the importance of school, your child will understand the importance of school. Thank you for your help with this.

We look forward to welcoming you to Donuts with Grownups on Monday, March 31,at 7:20-8am. Please park at Community Fellowship Baptist Church on Logan Drive for this event as our back parking lot only has enough parking spots for our faculty and staff. Thank you for understanding!

Soar Eagles,

April Clark
