Hello Challenger Elementary Family,
I hope you had a terrific Thanksgiving Break with family and friends. I am excited to see everyone back at school tomorrow and even more excited to get back to instruction with our students! The season is changing, and so is the weather. Please be sure your scholar(s) come to school each day with clothes appropriate for the weather. If the weather and temperatures permit, students may go outside for PE and recess. Be sure they are prepared!
I would like to give a BIG shoutout to our WONDERFUL PTA and our AMAZING PARENT VOLUNTEERS for ALL they do! We could not do this without them!
During the second nine-week grading period, many events will take place. Please refer to weekly newsletters and DOJO announcements for specific dates/times.
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!
