CES Family Bulletin #24

Dear CES Families,

I would like to review visitor procedures in relation to school security. As you know, all Liberty guests must have a picture ID to be scanned into our new visitor management system. We will now require even familiar parents and regular guests to scan their ID. Everyone must show ID every time. Please do not hold the door for those entering behind you. In the case of suspicious or unusual behavior, doors are not opened and an administrator or 911 is called immediately. 

School design is such that visual observation of all guests occurs at the main public entrance before they can proceed further into the building. By ensuring that the main entrance is visible from the office, natural surveillance of the entrance is achieved. Upon entering the building, all guests must enter the office, sign in, and get a guest sticker which MUST be worn at all times in the building. All visitors must scan their guest badge stickers to sign out prior to exiting the building. 

We had a wonderful turnout for the Olympic Themed Family STEAM Night on Tuesday! Please click here to view a slideshow of the fun.

Some of our third grade students celebrated a Fairy Tale Ball on Thursday. They did a wonderful job sharing their tales and were very creative with their attire.

App Trail

Two years ago Brother Blood spent 191 days camping and hiking the Appalachian Trail, a distance of 2100 miles. On Thursday, he brought his pack and camping gear, along with stories, pictures and videos to share his experiences of spending six months living in the woods with the Green Team and Second Grade classes.

Parents/guardians who do not wish to have their child participate in FLE instruction may choose to opt their child out of any or all of the lessons.
