A Note from your CCE Principal
Dear CCES Families--
December brings many things to our families, students, and staff including the end of a school semester, reflection on growth, and celebrating success in learning. This year, returning to in-person learning after many months of Covid has proven to be a time for examination of where students began the year, the progress that has been made, and the growth that is still to come to close learning gaps created by the pandemic. We are excited to see growth across all grade levels and demographics; our staff and teachers have worked diligently to identify and address the needs of our students. As December begins to unfold before us, were thank all of our families for the support in all things CCE! We are a community family together and our work is successful because of the support of our families. Please enjoy your December break later this month and fill it with rejuvenation, connections with loved ones, and mental health hobbies. Try to disconnect from technology as much as you can and connect with life, nature, and loved ones. Thank you for sharing the most precious gift you have with us~ your children!

School Starts at 7:30. It's Important to be here on time to get the day started on the right foot!
Reminders from our front office:
*If you have a doctor's appointment and need to pick up your child, call the school office to notify them that you will be visiting, drive through the front loop of the school and park in the front parking lot, walk up to the front entrance and ring the doorbell to the right on the wall, have your identification ready to show and we will call for your student and escort them to you outside. The office staff will sign them out and then back in when they return.
* Please check your skyward family access to ensure that you have updated your email address. This will ensure that you are receiving important notifications from our campus. Thank you!
* Make sure students arrive on time each day, school begins at 7:30. Each day that a student is tardy equals cumulative learning experiences that are missed in the classroom. Students often feel stressed when they don't know what they have missed when they are late, let's help them be successful by getting them to school on time.
CCE believes in our students and their potential!
