The Principal's Message 

Happy Friday, CES Community,

This week, as we celebrate Assistant Principal Week, it's truly impossible to overstate how incredibly fortunate we are to have Mrs. Killingsworth and Mrs. Forte – without a doubt, the two finest APs imaginable! Their collaborative spirit, unwavering support, remarkable efficiency, genuine care, positivity, consistent availability, sharp intelligence, utmost professionalism, incredible flexibility, and wonderful sense of humor are just the tip of the iceberg – we could easily list a hundred more praiseworthy qualities! Having them as members of the CES team is a privilege, and the opportunity to work alongside them is something we deeply value.

I wanted to share my sincere gratitude for the many kind words and thoughtful messages I have received regarding my upcoming departure. Your support and appreciation over the years have meant the world to me, and I was deeply touched by your heartfelt expressions.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve as the principal of CES. I will always cherish the memories we have made together and the strong sense of community we have built.

Wishing you all a restful and rejuvenating spring break! Please note that the school will be open on a limited basis throughout the week (9am - 12am), and will be closed on Monday, April 14th & Friday, April 18th. Should you require any support during the break, please don't hesitate to reach out to Angie Venetsanos or Josh Douds via email.
