*Star Bux Contest- Each student will be given a chance to create the Star Bux that will be used beginning in December of 2019. One winner will be chosen at each grade level through a grade level vote. Each student may be given some time during the school day to work on their Star Bux. If the class time is not enough, a student may choose to finish it at home. The completed Star Bux need to be turned in to homeroom teachers by Thursday, Nov 21st. This activity is optional.
*“Things I am not able to do yet…….” It is important for our scholars to know that hard work and perseverance can lead to great accomplishments. Each class will have a conversation about having a growth mindset and will work together to create a class Google Slide. The Google Slide will include input from students about things they are not able to do...yet. All of the slides from each class will be compiled and shared on the morning announcements.
*Parent visit opportunity: The specials teachers would like to extend an invitation to the parents and guardians of CES students. You may be interested in seeing what our scholars are working on academically and socially in Art, PE, Music, and Media. November 18th -22nd is a time for you to come and observe a special or two. You may only be able to observe certain specials during the allotted time, but we would like you to join us for the times that are offered. Below are the dates, times, and grades in which you may choose to visit. A link to the media schedule is also included. You may visit media when your scholar’s homeroom attends.
