CELC News & Updates
CELC Families,
CELC students will participate in our annual parade around campus on Tuesday, October 31st. Parents are invited to stay to watch our lil Cubs parade around the school. The parade will begin about 9:15 a.m. I am excited to see the costumes this year. They are always so ADORABLE!
We have noticed an increase in parents parking in the red zones out front, in the bus lane, in front of the rolling gate, and even blocking the crosswalk. We understand that it is busy, but please, for the safety of our students and families, do not use these areas for drop off and pick up. We appreciate your support with our safety concerns.
Students have been completing 1:1 assessments with the teachers. We are excited to share their progress with you at parent/teacher conferences.
If your student is going to be absent for an extended period, please make sure to request an Independent Study Contract from the office at least one week in advance. This will ensure that your child's teacher has ample time to prepare assignments, and your student can receive attendance credit during their absence.
Here are a few updates to help keep you informed:
- Halloween costumes must be school appropriate and may not include weapons or blood and gore. Masks may be worn during the parade but not during the instructional day. Parents are encouraged to take masks home after the parade.
- Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for the week of November 13th. TK and K students will be released at 12:15 p.m. M-F to allow time for teachers to meet with each parent.
Students are expected to follow school rules at all times. Please help support safe, responsible, and respectful behavior while you are on campus with them before and after school.
For transportation questions, please visit AUSD's website at https://www.alpineschools.net/page/transportation
I hope you have a great week and a happy and safe halloween.
Sincerely,
Tamara Ripke, Proud Principal
