Happy Friday CES Community,
We continue to prepare and are excited to welcome some of our Kindergarten and Head Start students back into the building for in-person learning on Tuesday, November 17th. Last night at the FCPS School Board Meeting, Dr. Brabrand shared that Cohorts 5 (1st and 2nd Grade) and 6 (3rd - 6th Grades) have been pushed back one week. Below is a chart listing the new start dates along with the new asynchronous planning days.

As we prepare for more students to enter the building, please understand that your student/s may need to switch classroom teachers to meet the requests for in-person or virtual instruction. We ask for your flexibility, support, and grace as we progress through these next few months of phasing students back into the building. You will be notified in advance if your student will be switching teachers. If you are planning on sending your student/s back to the building please review the Family Guide and short video below.

If you have taken any pictures of your student/s during virtual learning please consider sharing them with us. We would love to highlight them in our weekly CES Updates. Send photos to Mr. Douds at jtdouds@fcps.edu.
Have a POSITIVE Weekend!

We’ve got some fun happening with our book fair over the weekend and next week!
- Over the weekend, if our school can spend at least $300 at the online book fair, our principals will participate in an egg roulette challenge. They will take turns picking an egg to crack above their heads – will it be hard-boiled or a raw gooey mess? Find out by buying some books over the weekend!
- Don’t forget to take your guesses in our teacher photo contest – can you guess what your teachers looked like in elementary school? https://forms.gle/m62W7k4xMeAtQyFj9

Flat Screen TVs
Thank you for everyone who has already donated a TV to CES! Your support and generosity is very much appreciated.
We are still looking for unused 32 inch or larger flat screen TV (preferably on a stand) that you plan on getting rid of, CES could use them as we start to bring students back into the classroom for concurrent learning. Please contact Mr. Douds at jtdouds@fcps.edu if you have a tv to donate or any questions.
