Message from Principal Eisenbach
Happy Autumn CL Families!
We are one month into the new year and we have already experienced so much! We’ve welcomed many new students and staff to the CL community, students and teachers have established routines and started building relationships, we’ve finished our fall MAP testing, students participated in their first on-demand writing assignment, we’ve held both a fire drill and lockdown drill, we had great weather for our delightful donuts PTA event, our 5th grade enjoyed the annual trip to Upham Woods, and we introduced our first character trait - RESPECT. It has been a busy month in a good way 🙂
As you may be aware, our 1st - 5th grade students have completed their fall MAP testing. We administer the MAP tests 3 times a year to help gauge our students’ growth and benchmark against national norms. These scores help us plan and set goals for our students, our building, and our district. Our 5 year old kindergarten will start taking these tests with everyone else in the winter. 4K will not take the MAP tests at all this year.
BOOKS! We have a fourth 5 year old kindergarten class and a fourth 2nd grade class this year. All of our classroom libraries can always use some refreshing or building up, especially in those grade levels. If you have books at home that your child(ren) have outgrown and you’d like to donate them we would happily take them! Just bring them to the office and we’ll make sure they find a new home.
A few weeks ago I sent an email outlining the school district’s attendance policies and the communications we send home once a certain number of absences have occurred. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions or if you have extenuating circumstances you might need assistance with in this area.
Let’s make it a great year!

Notes from the Office:
Change in Departure:
A County Line change in departure notepad was sent home in your Open House packet. This is to be used if there will be changes in your child's regular schedule. Examples of use would be: picking your child up early for an appointment, picking your child up from the parent pick up line when they normally ride the bus home, or going on a scheduled vacation. If you need to change their way home during the school day, a call must be made TO THE OFFICE BEFORE 2:30pm.
***If your child does not have a note to deviate from his/her regular schedule, they will be sent their normal way home.***

Lost & Found:
Please remember to label your child's items they are bringing to school with their name. Our lost and found is starting to pile up. When an item is labeled, we can reunite items much easier and our lost and found stays relatively small.
If you are missing items, please have your child(ren) check our Lost & Found. Lost & Found is located on the blue bench in the hallway by the office.
Thank you!
