This Week at CCES
January 16 - 20
Our campus attendance goal is 98%. Our attendance this week is 97.04%
Dear Cub Families,
We have had a wonderful week back from winter break and seeing all of our cubs. A new year is a time full of hope - new beginnings, new experiences, and much more. It is a time to make changes, set goals, and often times focus on what we can do to improve.
We have had some changes among our administrative staff at CCES with Mrs. Pomeroy transitioning to a Central Office role. We are beyond excited for her to support all district students, staff, and families with the same love and commitment she has provided to our cub families the past four years.
Something that will not change at CCES is our love and dedication to do what is best for all students. Our staff is committed to ensuring that every student that walks through our doors feels loved and safe every day.

Welcome Back!
I'm so excited to welcome all the kids back for 2023! I love beginning a new year because it gives an opportunity to have a blank canvas in which to draw upon all of your goals and dreams for the future. What a wonderful time to teach and show children how to make positive decisions in their life. Our social- emotional skill for this nine weeks is "Decision Making". You, as their parent, play the most important role in showing your child the process for making good decisions by being their role model. Show your kids how you make tough decisions and what is the thinking process you go through. Below are some key points that will help you when communicating and working on this skill at home!
Hugs,
Ms. Zuniga
Definition:
A person’s approach to problem-solving, learning from experience, using values to guide behavior and accepting responsibility.
Key Concepts:
- Everyone needs a positive role model
- Good problem solvers use all available resources
- Reflecting on prior experiences and using values as a guide can improve decision making
- Anyone can learn to be a good problem solver and accept responsibility
- Positive decision making allows individuals to feel empowered, realize their goals, and change unhealthy habits
It's important to remember that decision making is a process. It is not an event. Making sound and informed decisions is the key to living a healthy life and having more opportunity, freedom, and self-respect.
Decisions by Numbers:
- 35,000 – Number of conscious decisions adults make per day
- 3,000 – Number of conscious decisions made by children per day
- 227- Number of decisions made per day about food

Visitor and Parent Pick-Up Procedures
All visitors are required to show their driver's license or other form of picture ID when arriving on campus for a meeting or to volunteer, or to pick up a student early from school. You must check in with the front office for all parent/teacher meetings, or for volunteer work on our campus. In addition, the front office will not release the student unless the parent or guardian shows their ID, and they are listed as an authorized pick-up person in Skyward.
Morning Drop-Off
To help keep our morning drop-off safe and smooth, please do not drop off your child(ren) in any areas that have cones. We know that some of our students report to the gym in the morning. Unless directed to drop off your child at the gym by an on-duty staff member, please wait and pull all the way down by the cafeteria and marquee. This will help prevent fender benders and will allow duty personnel to better monitor your child’s exit from the car.
Please also note that our school opens at 7:00 a.m. for breakfast in the cafeteria and morning drop-off. ***There is NO SUPERVISION of students prior to 7:00 a.m*** Please do not drop your students off on our campus prior to that time. If you have any questions regarding the morning drop-off procedures and time, please call the front office at 830-357-4400.

Marquee Birthday Announcements
Don't forget to celebrate your student on their birthday with an announcement on our marquee! Please purchase your announcement at least two weeks prior to the birthday date. The child's first name only will run on the marquee the entire week of their birthday. All funds go to back to support our school!
Where Do I Go In The Morning?
Students eating breakfast (PK-5th grade) report to the cafeteria for their meal.
PK, Kindergarten, and 1st graders all report to the cafeteria (even if they ate breakfast at home). They will sit at their assigned tables.
2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders all report to the gymnasium.
5th graders all report to the library.
There is supervision in all of these areas, and at the first bell (7:25) the teachers pick up their students and escort them to class. No one has to figure out how to get to their classrooms because the teachers and duty personnel assist the children and walk them to class.
