No School - Veteran's Day

During Monday's Rise and Shine we celebrated Down Syndrome Awareness Month with our CPS community. Our guests of honor led the CPS Dragons in the Pledge of Allegiance.

🎃🎃 After discussing with CPS staff, we have unanimously decided to wear pajamas to school on Halloween.🎃🎃

🎃 Families : There's a lot of time and effort put into Halloween costumes. We want to make sure that they are intact and ready for the evening festivities. We work and play hard at school, and it would be unfortunate if something happened to the costume.

🧥 Safety: We are asking that students wear their regular footwear to school.

🐒 Pillows, blankets and stuffies: Please leave them at home.

📷 📷 📷 We will get class photos and post the week after in our Dragon News! 📷 📷 📷

Our lost and found is growing every day. Please take a moment to look through lost and found items on conference night to see if anything belongs to your child. Anything left will be donated after November 7th.

Cooler weather has arrived! Our students go outside for recess every day unless the temperature is below 10 degrees so please help your child be prepared for recess with appropriate gear for playing outside including boots (and sneakers for inside especially on PE days), jacket, ski pants, hats and mittens/gloves. We do not keep items on hand for daily usage, as we would prefer these items come from home to maintain hygiene and reduce the items in our lost & found.

Come see us at the Erskine Trunk or Treat on 10/31 5-6:30PM - If you’d like to join us at the trunk to hand out candy, email us!!

The Craft Show is this Saturday, November 2nd from 9:00-3:00! We are still taking basket raffle donations. See below for each grade's theme. Didn't have time to shop? It's not too late to help! Send a donation through Venmo or PayPal @ChinaSchoolsPTO and we will do the shopping for you! We appreciate all donations, as they help make the raffle a success, ensuring that we can do our thing which is funding field trips and events for all grades.
