COLT FAMILY NEWS
October 22, 2023
Dear Families,
It is hard to believe we are winding down the month of October. Parent-Teacher conferences will be here before we know it. They are scheduled for November 20th and 21st. There will be early dismissals each day at 12:30PM. Infprmation about conferences will be going home soon!
Registration for winter sports is happening now! Click this link (https://cpcs-ar.rschooltoday.com/) to register your student athlete in grades 7-12 for a winter sport at CPCS. If your high school student wants to play a merger sport at another school, they must register with that school.
Our varsity soccer teams have play-off games on Monday and Tuesday at 3PM at Swift Field. Let's go COLTS!
IMPORTANT: There is NO ELEMENTARY SOCCER ON TUESDAY. The last day will be on Thursday.
Have a great week!

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE
Excuses are required for every tardy and absence.
SAVE THE DATE!
By having graduation on a Thursday, families will be able to enjoy every minute of the limited weekends during the summer. We hope this small change allows families with students in neighboring districts to celebrate together as well!
