Principals' Message

Happy Friday CES Community,

We had a positive second week of school here at CES! The CVHS Marching Band shared their talents with us on Tuesday and we successfully completed two more of our safety drills (fire and lockdown). Our amazing students continue to do a wonderful job adhering to the new safety guidelines. We have developed a foundation for a successful year!

Our dismissal procedures continue to improve. We have been wrapping up dismissal around 4:20pm each day. Thank you to those who have moved their student/s to the bus or walking. If you continue to use Kiss & Ride, please have your student/s get in and out of the car on the passenger side. This is very important for the safety of everyone.  

Reminder that there is no school on Friday 9/3 & Monday 9/6. We hope you are able to take time this long weekend celebrate the beginning of a successful school year with your student/s.

Have a wonderful long weekend!

Rachel, Jen, & Josh

Proud Principals
