Greetings CES Families & Friends,
Student health. We are in daily contact 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. Additionally, we have suspended all out of county travel (ex sports, field trips, training) until the end of March. 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. Please see the links below for additional information. We'll get through this challenge! Thanks!
March 16-20 is designated at CES as an extra Kindness week. We're encouraging each class to take on a kindness project. We'll be encouraging students each morning with a kindness message. We'll also have an assembly on Thursday, March 19 at 1:45 (assuming they don't cancel). They will be selling products to assist others. Please encourage your child to think about performing random acts of kindness throughout the week. Thanks!
March is designated as Women in History. Please check out the newsletter link below dedicated to women in history this month. There are many inspirational stories to hopefully motivate our young CES students! Thanks!
Tech Savvy. Check out the links below from Josh at Smart Social. Hopefully this helps keep our students safe during their screen time.
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!
K-3 My Body Belongs To Me. Michelle Ridley with Plumas Crisis and Intervention Resource Center will provide a 30-40 minute presentation on March 26 to all of our K-3 students about protecting themselves. Please review the letter below. If you do not want your child to participate, please print out the letter, sign and return to your child's teacher.
Reading each night? 20 minutes/night. Send me your pictures and your favorite books and we'll put them in an upcoming newsletter!
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!
