Dear CES Families and Friends,
They say time flies when you're having fun and the month of September is certainly proof of that! It's been a wonderful start to the school year with new students and staff, returning friends, and lots of engaging activities.
At CES we make an effort to celebrate each of our students. You may have noticed at Curriculum Night that our hallways are filled with student art, work samples, and motivational posters. We are committed to celebrating each student's hard work and success.
For the last two days, our Grade 1-4 teachers and service providers have been engaged in data meetings to review beginning-of-the-year assessment data in the areas of math, reading, and social-emotional well-being. We use these meetings to inform instruction, create groups for remediation and groups for enrichment, as well as to develop programming. Our SHARKS are off to a great start and we look forward to tracking their continued success throughout the rest of the school year. Thank you for sharing your amazing students with us!
Sincerely yours,
Dr. Kelly
CES - Where we are proud to be SHARKS!
Safe - Honest - Accepting - Respectful - Kind - Successful
