Greetings, CVE Families!

I hope all is well with you and your families. Back in November, an accident took place on Mulberry St. where a student was hit by a car. We have asked that no one drop their student off by parking across the street from the school. Since this accident, I have asked my staff to park in the back to give families space to park in the lot while dropping off. We are still seeing parents parking on the other side and walking students over or letting the students out to cross over on their own. Please use the parking lot to drop your student off and reframe from parking across from the school. While I understand that the accident didn't happen while that parent was dropping off the students for school, we want to be proactive in avoiding any danger that could occur in the future. Please use the parking lot. There are plenty of spaces available.

I also asked that you not pull up between the buses or the signs out front indicating "Bus Only." I understand that many of you are rushing to get to work, but we want to avoid any accidents. We want to ensure the safety of our students, and this is the only way to do so.

I appreciate your understanding!

~ Mrs. Wright

As our fifth graders begin their last trimester in elementary school, it is time to introduce them to Middle School. 😁 Please find below information regarding our 2021-2022 6th Grade Middle School Orientation Schedule. This year's orientation will be in-person, and students will ride a bus or walk with their teachers to their designated Middle School.

This year's orientation date is Tuesday, May 17th. Teachers will be providing more information soon. They will be sending home permission slips, and parent letters.

Hello CVE Families!

We had another fire drill completed today. Thank you for supporting us in talking to your students about its importance. Below you will find a schedule of all the drills that have been completed this year.

Mrs. Phillips 4th graders had so much fun in our "Tasting of the Greens" celebration on Thursday! Thanks to our wonderful parents, we were able to taste over 15 different green foods! Thank you again for all the donations, parents! We could not have had it without you.

Here are some pictures of 4th grade during their Tasting of the Greens Party that we had on St. Patrick's Day! The students had a lot of fun sampling all the different green foods.

The 4th and 5th-grade students experienced a virtual field trip with the Detroit Zoo on Tuesday. The students learned about different types of penguins and the conservation project on the Falkland Islands. Students had an opportunity to ask their own questions and expand their knowledge of penguins. The students have enjoyed the virtual field trip a lot. Thank you Detroit Zoo for this opportunity!

Spring Parent-Teacher conferences will be virtual this year. Spring conferences are on an as-needed basis. The parameters for conferences are below:

· 12-15 minute time slots for elementary conferences

· 1 conference slot per student

· Teachers will conduct conferences via Teams

We have Parent-Teacher Conferences coming up. If you have been invited by your child's teacher or you've already requested to meet with the teacher and the two of you agreed on meeting, please click the link below at the time the teacher designated. Please do not enter the meeting if you don't have a pre-arranged time set up with your child's teacher.
