The Bulldog BARK!

CHE Parents, as we enter the final 10 weeks before end-of-year testing, your support and encouragement can make a world of difference for our students! Now is the time to stay engaged, stay positive, and remind our children that hard work and perseverance pay off.

Here’s how you can help:
📚 Encourage Daily Learning – Set aside time for reading, homework, and review.
📝 Celebrate Effort – Recognize progress and hard work, not just final results.
😴 Prioritize Rest & Nutrition – A well-rested and nourished student performs their best!
💪 Stay Positive – Build confidence by reminding students they CAN do it!
🎉 Stay Connected – Partner with teachers, ask questions, and be involved.

Every word of encouragement, every moment of support, and every reminder that they are capable brings our students one step closer to success. Let’s finish the year strong—TOGETHER! 💙💛

• Thank you for checking the backpack and planner DAILY for important notes or communication from our school or your child's teacher. Please sign the planner to acknowledge that you are staying involved! Did you know that, each week, we randomly select two students who've had their planner signed daily for the Principal's Prize Box?

• As spring-like weather slowly returns, it's a good time to assess your child's clothing and ensure that items still fit properly and align with the dress code. The kids have grown a lot since August! Shorts and skirt must extend to at least mid-thigh and shirts must cover the stomach.

THANK YOU to the FAMILIES and FRIENDS of our TOP SELLERS as of TODAY: Noah P., Branden B., Mila T., Cannon T., Bailey L., Hunter L., Colton L., Max B., Ryker B., and Harper S.! Due to these supporters, CHE has reached 23% of our GOAL! These students will also receive fun "Coops" as our way of showing our appreciation for your efforts!

We still have a long way to go! Please continue to help support initiatives, like testing incentives, awards, and teacher recognitions, and ongoing campus improvements AND earn some cool "Coops" for your students with our Gourmet Shoppe spring fundraiser! Information will be sent home in this week's Tuesday folder, but you can get started NOW!

There are 3 Ways To Help us Reach our $4000 Goal:

• Directly to friends and family through cash orders (due March 3rd)
• Online, at www.instaraise.com and enter our campaign ID: 20995

• Students will not be released at car-rider pickup unless the appropriate Car Tag is visible on the dashboard or windshield.
• Parent permission, in writing is required in order to change a student's transportation. Parents may email the teacher through ParentVue - well in advance, please - to notify him/her of a transportation change. Please call the school in addition to email to ensure that the message is received in case the teacher is unable to check her email before dismissal!

Our school office hours are 7:30 am to 3:30. Student instructional time is from 8:30 am, when the tardy bell rings, until 2:42 pm, when students are dismissed. Students are permitted on campus for breakfast in the cafeteria at 8:05 am.
