Teachers have been holding conferences with families this month. Conferences will be scheduled throughout the month in person or via Zoom. Parents are required to participate in at least one conference for each child at this time. Report cards will go home Oct. 23rd. Please make sure your accounts are in good standing (tuition, lunch, missing library books, etc). Negative account balances will result in a report card hold until balances are in good standing.

School Picture Retakes

If your student missed their school picture day, retakes will be Wednesday, Oct. 21. Students getting a retake may wear their normal school uniform or dress as they would for weekend mass while following Free Dress Day guidelines as the bare minimum. No athletic wear permitted for school pictures. This is not a Free Dress Day for the rest of the school.

CSSE Family Feature!

Meet The Schoen Family! This is their first year at CSSE. Daughter, Sophia, is in Mrs. Price’s class.


Why Did You Choose CSSE? This is the parish we found our home in. We then baptized our children here and knew it would be a fantastic place to have our children attend school.


What is your favorite thing about CSSE? We love that the teachers and parents work as a unit to provide the best for each child. Also we love how welcome we have felt as a new CSSE family.


Is there anything else about your family you would like to share? Our names are Morgan and Ben Schoen. We have two kiddoes named Sophia (almost 4) and Drake (19 months). We also have two sweet angel girls, Jordan and Laila, watching over us in heaven. We have two dogs, a golden retriever named Honeybelle, and a black Lab named Beau. We love to play outside and be with friends and family! We look forward to meeting so many people this year!


Welcome to CSSE, Schoen Family!
