With a revised CES Student Handbook comes new information about policies and procedures. Each month, I will highlight and explain one of our policies. . .up first? BUS TRANSPORTATION!!

In order to keep our students safe and our drivers informed, we have the following guideline in place:

Students will be limited to one assigned route (page 7, Item 1.e) Said differently: students may only ride their assigned bus home from school. They may not ride home with a friend or occasionally ride to a different destination. The only exception to this is if you have a permanent custody or child care situation that we can publish and share with all necessary teachers and drivers. This is something we require one month in advance. If you have a permanent schedule, please contact Kristen Ray at kray@carroll.k12.in.us to discuss. Please do not ask us to make exceptions. Dismissal is a crazy time at the elementary school, and our goal every day is to make sure every single student gets safely to her or his destination. By limiting confusion surrounding buses, we are better able to keep your children safe.

You are invited to attend our Annual Title I Meeting on 28 @ 9:00am or September 29th @6:00. Staff will be on hand to explain what it means to be a School-Wide Title I program, the resources we use, and how parents can be involved. Meetings will be held in the cafeteria!

P.R.I.D.E. (Positive Reinforcement Interventions Driving Excellence) Week is August 29-September 2. We would like to encourage all students to participate in the following dress up days:

Our newest Cougars are working on learning to read and write their color words. Each day from September 13th through September 23rd has been assigned a color for the students to wear. All students are encouraged to support our Kinders and follow along in the fun!

October 3-7

Your child will be visiting the Book Fair during their scheduled library time the week of October 3rd. Book Fair will also be open on October 11th during Parent/Teacher Conferences. Look for more information to be coming home with your child soon, as well as in next month’s newsletter!

I am needing volunteers to help during the Book Fair, especially in the afternoons!!! Please email aclick@carroll.k12.in.us if you are available. You must have a Limited Criminal Background check on file at the office for this school year.
