Happy Sunday CELC families! I hope you all enjoyed the sunshine this weekend. The teachers are looking forward to meeting with parents to share students' progress and report cards. As many of you have heard by now, Dr. Newman, the Superintendent, announced that the district will be moving into phase III of our reopening plan on Tuesday, January 19th. Students will begin coming to campus four days a week with Wednesdays being a distance learning day. As we begin to plan our transition, it is very important that parents contact the office if they plan to make a change to their student's current program/schedule. We will still continue to offer 100% distance learning along with the four day a week program. Please contact the office ONLY if you want to make a CHANGE. For more information, please click on the link below to read the communication that went out on Thursday, November 12th.

We are looking forward to a fun and colorful week. Don’t forget to wear college gear tomorrow! I am still looking for some new pictures of families and staff in their favorite college shirt. I plan to wear my college shirt on Monday, my rainbow shirt on Wednesday, and my PJs on Friday. I just have to figure out by outfit for Tuesday and Thursday :). Since it is also kindness week, maybe I'll wear one of my kindness shirts.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Ripke
