The Falcon's Nest
January & February 2019
Principal's Corner by Jennifer Updike
The elementary school earned the prestigious Momentum Award for the second year in a row from the Ohio Department of Education. I am very proud of our entire staff. This award is not easy to achieve as we have to grow each and every child in our building. We achieved this award by using data to drive and personalize instruction. Our staff also never stops growing professionally and stretch themselves to meet the needs of our students. I would also like to thank our parents and families for instilling the importance of an education with their children.
Momentum Award
The Momentum Award is presented by the State Board of Education and recognizes schools for exceeding expectations in student growth for the year. Schools must earn straight A’s on all Value-Added measures on the report card. The school or district must have at least two Value-Added subgroups of students, which includes gifted, lowest 20% in achievement and students with disabilities.
Our 4th Annual Rockin’ Massie School Carnival is coming up. This is a fun family and budget friendly event. We will need volunteers to run games, bake cakes for our cake walk, and other materials. Please be on the lookout on our elementary facebook page for more information.
Winter Time-We try to get outside as much as possible at CMES. We do this as physical activity is a great way to increase student attention, decrease discipline and also to decrease the spread of germs. So, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately such as hat, gloves, and a heavy winter coat. If the temperature is too cold; we always give the option for your child to stay indoors.
