Would you like to volunteer at CEEP? Parents will need to apply via the Colonial School District website. It takes up to 10 days for it to be approved.

https://www.colonialschooldistrict.org/parents-students/volunteer/

Once it is approved, you will show up on our school's volunteer list. You should apply for all of the schools because the approval list lasts for 3 years. When your child(ren) moves up or to another school, you will show up on the “new schools” list because you have applied for all of the schools. If you do not, you will not show up on the new school list and will have to sign up again to become a volunteer.

This week, our local fire department will be visiting the school to help students learn about fire safety. This is a great opportunity for families to talk about safety at home, too!

Family Safety Tip:
For young children and children with disabilities, practicing what to do in case of a fire is especially important. Here is something to try and consider, create a simple, step-by-step fire drill at home that matches your child’s needs. Use visual supports, picture cards, or a social story to show what to do (for example: “1. Get up, 2. Walk to the door, 3. Go outside”). Practicing calmly and often can help your child feel more confident and safe if an emergency ever happens.

👉 Try this week: Practice finding two safe exits in your home together with your child.

If your child is absent, please make sure you complete the attendance form on the day of the student's absence. You can find this link on the weekly family newsletter.
