Hello Challenger Elementary Family,
International Night was PHENOMIMAL! Thank you to everyone who joined us at our 2nd CES International Night and everyone who brought food to share! It was a fabulous night breaking bread together, learning about different countries/cultures, and celebrating our school's diversity! 𝑺𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒊𝒂𝒍 𝒈𝒖𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒔!
We are excited to announce Red Ribbon Week activities. Red Ribbon Week will take place from October 28 to November 1. This annual event is a time for us to unite as a community to promote healthy choices and raise awareness about the importance of living drug-free. Here's how CES will celebrate Red Ribbon Week:
Theme Days – see below
Classroom Door Decorating Competition
First Responders Visit - Wednesday, October 30
Educational Sessions - During counseling classes
Morning Announcements
We encourage you to talk with your children about the significance of Red Ribbon Week and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Together, we can reinforce these messages and support our students in making positive choices. Thank you for your continued support in making Challenger Elementary School a safe and positive place for all students to learn and grow.
Thursday, 10/31 is BOOK CHARACTER DAY! ALL students and staff can dress like their favorite book character within the HCS dress code guidelines. We ask that scholars not wear masks and props so that costumes are not dangerous or represent dangerous items and are not scary. Please remember that all scholars must follow the HCS Dress Code Policy.
School attendance matters! School starts at 8 a.m. sharp. Please have your scholar at school by 8 a.m. daily. Tardies add up, as instruction begins promptly at 8 a.m. Tardy and attendance letters will be sent home weekly. Should you receive a letter for a conference, you will meet with school administrators to discuss your scholar's absences and how we can better support them in getting to school. Please remember that we can only accept up to 7 parent excuses per school year, and vacations/trips are not excused absences. Late check-ins and early check-outs can disrupt your child's learning, so please be mindful of this as you plan. You can view the HCS year calendar for our scheduled breaks. Submit your excuses to the front office or email them to Danna Freeman and Kendra Humphrey, including your child's classroom teacher.
Don't hesitate to contact me or the school with any questions or concerns; we are more than willing to help!
Here's to a great week of learning and growing at CES!
Love yall!!!
Go Eagles!
