Hi CPS Families,

The next 27 1/2 days are going to FLY by! There are SO many events between now and the last half day of school on June 12th.

Bikes for Books is in full swing starting today! Tracking sheets are coming home and if your child fills up the sheet, please send it back to school and we will send home another one. The more reading means more tickets in the jar for a chance to be drawn on Tuesday, May 30th at our Bikes for Books assembly at 1 pm. Students will also be reading here at school too!

Thank you for all that you do!

~Ms. Pattershall and Mrs. Desrosiers

🏀⚽🏈 This is a reminder that there should be no balls or playground equipment coming to school with students! We thank you for your help with this! ⚽🏀🏈

Please review the health manual accessible via our school’s website for the full policy on when to stay home and when it is appropriate to return to school. A few key points are fevers, diarrhea and vomiting. Your child must be free of both without medication for 24 hours before returning to school.

We are also seeing students that are in need of a change of clothes for various reasons, so it would be helpful if they keep a seasonally appropriate change of clothes including socks in their backpacks daily.

Next meeting is June 5th at 6pm on Google Meet! Here's the link: https://meet.google.com/kvu-jxtp-vuo

Hope you can make it!!
