The Principals' POSITIVE Press

Happy Friday CES Community,

Happy Lunar New Year to our POSITIVE CES families that celebrate! Lunar New Year is a celebration of community and the arrival of spring and the beginning of a POSITIVE new year on the lunisolar calendar, which begins on Feb 10, 2024 this year. Wishing you health and prosperity in the POSITIVE New Year!

The Family Literacy Glow Night was a POSITIVE success! Thank you to all of the POSITIVE students and families who attended this POSITIVE community event. If you missed it, the gym was transformed into a POSITIVE glowing literacy wonderland. It was truly magical to see the POSITIVE CES community come together to celebrate literacy! Our next POSITIVE community event will be the Family Folk Dance on Tuesday. We are POSITIVELY optimistic that it will be another POSITIVE success. 

Thursday was the POSITIVE 100th Day of school! Thank you to our kindergarteners for the POSITIVE pictorial representations of the number 100. They have definitely added some POSITIVE color, fun, and beauty to the hallways. It truly was a POSITIVE day of celebration!

If you know anyone who has a rising kindergartener, please encourage them to begin registration as soon as possible. Notifying our office of your intent to register or complete registration helps our school secure staffing for the upcoming school year.

SPRING SEL Screener 

The Spring Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) Screener will be administered to students in grades 3-6 between February 26-March 15. Students use the SEL Screener twice a year to share their perspectives on how well their school and community help them develop skills they need to succeed. The screener works by asking questions or presenting statements that students can think about and respond to. More information is available about the SEL Screener by accessing this link: 

https://www.fcps.edu/student-tests-and-assessments/student-assessment-details/social-emotional-screener  

 

If you have any questions please reach out to our SEL Screener Lead Laura Walsh at LFWalsh@fcps.edu or Assistant Principal Jennifer Killingsworth at jkillingswor@fcps.edu.
