Greetings CES Families & Friends,
Happy March! This month is designated as Women in History. We believe it's important to showcase some amazing accomplishments from women and want to promote women in history this month. Our Assistant Superintendent, Ms. Kristy Warren, has provided some resources for us. Please check out the newsletter below dedicated to women in history this month. Thanks!
Please check out the summer opportunities for students through Spice Camp. Ms. Connie does a great job for us at CES, and I hear these camps are outstanding opportunities for young people.
Please also check out the Little League information on sign ups and tryouts. Flyers are attached below. We want to see our students busy with productive, enriching activities. Thank you community members and parents for making these opportunities available for our students!
Tech Savvy. Check out the links below from Josh at Smart Social. Hopefully this helps keep our students safe during their screen time.
Student health. Our Plumas Public Health Agency has a website with lots of useful information. Please take a moment to review their website link below and learn more about some health alerts for our area. We are working closely with our nurses and public health officials to monitor potential sicknesses, including flu and coronavirus. We are also taking extra precautions to sanitize our school each day. Although we want all of our students at school each day, if your child is not feeling well (ex fever, chills, vomiting, diarrhea, etc) please keep him/her home to get healthy and prevent exposure to other students and staff. Thanks!
Our March character focus is Responsibility. I've provided a couple links below regarding some activities you can provide at home to help teach your child the importance of responsibility. Please check them out or other resources and have a conversation with your child this month about the importance of being responsible at home and at school. Thanks!
Ms. Tantardino's 5th graders are sponsoring a "Boon" sale. Please check out their link below.
CES PTA Read-a-thon. Our wonderful PTA is sponsoring a read-a-thon to raise money for the many events they do for our CES students. A link is below with all of the information. In summary, Feb 7-28 students collect pledges, Feb 29-March 7 students read, March 8-12 students collect from their sponsors, then on March 13 they turn in the pledge sheet and the money. We hope all of our students are able to participate. Thank you!
Reading each night? 20 minutes/night. Send me your pictures and your favorite books and we'll put them in an upcoming newsletter! Check out the article below around developing a love of reading for our students. Worth the peruse!
In closing, we appreciate your ongoing support and teaming with us to make 2019-2020 an exceptional elementary experience for our students. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
