The school year is quickly coming to a close and we wanted to express how much we have enjoyed getting to know the students. They have learned and grown so much and their hard work and dedication has been evident not only in their school work but at many of the events throughout the school year. Once again this year, you can expect to receive your child's report card on the last day of school. You can also access the report card on the Aspen Parent Portal on the last day of the school year. Your child's teacher placement for the next year will also be included in their report card.

Our Safe and Supportive School Committee has been working on our annual Family Engagement survey and we could use your assistance. Please take a few minutes to respond to this survey. Your contributions are important and will help as we aim to provide learning opportunities that are filled with a joy for learning. Your feedback will also help us as we prepare for the upcoming school year. Please click on the link below to complete this survey.

Sincerely,

Ruby C. Maestas

Dear Parents/Guardians of CES students,

We are excited to announce that we will be continuing our Try it Tuesday event again this year in the cafeteria where we will be offering samples of fruits, vegetables or seafood. This year our goal is to introduce more varieties of seafood and culturally responsive foods.

This month's Try it Tuesday will be held on Tuesday, May 14, 2024. As we look to create recipes with more plant based items, I am excited to introduce Kelp meatballs to our students. Chef Andrew from North Coast Seafoods will be visiting us to talk to the students about the health benefits of kelp meatballs. Encourage your student to try our kelp meatballs at our Try it Tuesday table in the cafeteria and help us move towards greater food acceptance skills.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Regards,

Theresa Vernazzaro

District Director of Food & Nutrition Services

2024/2025 School Year

In the event that your student will be absent, please notify us by sending an email to: cesabsent@carver.org as well as the teacher. Thank you.

We are trying something new this year, Fan Days. Wear your favorite sports team t-shirt or gear. Whether your child is a fan of the Patriots, Celtics, Bruins, Red Sox, Crusaders, the list goes on...we aim to make fan days easier for the kids to join in.

Students and staff all join together by wearing Coyote spirit gear or Coyote colors gray, maroon and white.
