Principal's Note
Hello Cecilton Families,
There are 14 more school days to make this school year amazing! During those 14 days, we have many events taking place while we also work hard to continue learning and growing. Please remember that this Monday and Tuesday are our final MCAP testing days for our students in grades 4 & 5. They will complete the math assessments this time. We also end the week with Fun & Fitness Day Family Memo. This fun event will take place on Friday, May 27, and has a very specific schedule. Please make note of it if you choose to attend.
As we start thinking about the end of the school year, Cecilton takes time to reflect on how we are doing. We love to hear from our families and community about our events, the programs we offer, and the services we provide. We kindly ask that you complete our Spring CES Family and Community Engagement Survey. We appreciate your time and feedback! Please complete this survey by June 10th.
At Cecilton, we strive to be a support system for our students and families. If you are in need of assistance, have questions, or just need to check-in, please email me at mebrown@ccps.org or contact the school at 410-275-1000. Mrs. Wallace, our assistant principal, can also be reached at sgwallace@ccps.org. I hope you are safe and well.
Fondly,
Meghan Brown
