Notes from the Administration

Dear CWES Families,

Wow, we have reached the end of another incredible academic year, and we wanted to take a moment to extend our warmest wishes to each and every one of you for a fantastic summer break. It has been a year filled with growth, accomplishments, and countless memories that will stay with us for a lifetime.


This past week, we were able to celebrate all week long with class parties, our deaf/hard of hearing picnic, success day, and our 6th Grade promotion ceremony! These events wouldn't have been possible without the support of our school community.


As we step into the summer months, we encourage everyone to take this time to relax, rejuvenate, and enjoy the well-deserved break. Whether you're planning exciting adventures or simply enjoying some quiet moments at home, we hope your summer is filled with joy and memorable experiences.


Thank you for a wonderful school year. Have a safe, happy, and refreshing summer, and we look forward to seeing you all in August with renewed energy and enthusiasm!

 

Have a wonderful weekend,

Leslie Malkowski, Kristi McGeehan, and Moonhee Doan

CWES Administrative Team
