From September 15 to October 15, we celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month, recognizing the contributions and influence of Hispanic Americans on our nation’s achievements, culture, and history.

In our classrooms, we’ve been learning about famous Hispanic Americans, engaging in weekly trivia, and enjoying music from talented artists of Hispanic heritage. This month is a wonderful opportunity for us to honor and celebrate the rich diversity and heritage that enhance our school community.

Thank you for joining us in this celebration!

Dear CES Families,

As we prioritize the safety of our students during arrival, please remember to drive all the way down the car loop. One of our staff members will be there to assist your child with exiting the vehicle.

For everyone's safety, please avoid stopping in the middle of the loop to let your child out. Your cooperation is crucial in helping us maintain a safe environment for all students.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

We're ALL IN for this! BCPS proudly introduces the slogan, "Here For It," inspiring our students to show up for school every day! Did you know there's a Maryland State Attendance requirement? It's crucial for your child to maintain an attendance rate of at least 94% throughout the school year. We understand the challenges of flu season and the ongoing presence of COVID, and if your child isn't feeling well, we encourage you to prioritize their health.

However, it's proven that students with high attendance percentages tend to be more successful. So, if your child can attend, please ensure their presence.

In case your child needs to be absent, kindly provide a note—whether handwritten or through email. Submitting written documentation helps us keep accurate records. Remember, not all absences are considered lawful. Let's make every school day count!

Shout out to our 5th graders for having the highest attendance percentage for the month of September!

Dear CES Families,

We understand that many families wish to celebrate special occasions, such as birthdays, with treats. However, to ensure the safety and well-being of all students—especially those with allergies—we kindly ask that you refrain from providing any sweet or edible items in the classroom.

Instead, we encourage you to consider non-edible fun items that all students can enjoy together. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us create a safe and inclusive environment for everyone!

The PTA is in need of 2-4 board members in order to stay in compliance. Anyone who feels called to volunteer or assist please reach out to Secretary Ariela Rinard @ thecedarmerepta@gmail.com or text @ 443-632-4241.

Families please make sure to complete your volunteer training now. All training must be done 2 weeks prior to any event you would like to participate in with your child. Per BCPS policy this training must be completed and you must be an approved volunteer to partake in any school activities, including field trip, classroom support or helping out in the school for PTA events. Please do not delay do your training today! You can drop off your application or email it to sgrosscassell@bcps.org. Please click the above link to complete application.

Thank you.

Parents please be advised that early dismissal ends at 2:45! We need to ensure that our dismissal process is safe and uninterrupted. If you would like to pick up your child early please send a note to your child's teacher or call the office. If you arrive after the 2:45 time we kindly ask that you wait in your vehicle until 3:30 pm to pick up your child, and if you have sent a note or called the office we will have them waiting for you in the office.

Please remember when you are picking up your child you must show a picture identification to the office staff prior to receiving them.

Please remember to have your child check the lost and found.
