A Note From Our Principal
Dear CE Families,
Our third graders will kick off the month with their annual Wax Museum exhibit. It is always interesting to see who the students choose to research and the findings they present. Just prior to winter recess, Kindergarten Registration will take place on Wednesday, February 13th. Packets were mailed home mid-January. During our registration, parents will receive a date for their child to be screened in April. It is important to keep this date to receive up to date information. The next day, our 1st Graders will present We’ve Got Heart, a play that celebrates our youth. After winter recess, we will host our second fun night. This time it’s Science. You won’t want to miss out on the action. February may be a short month but we’re very busy here at CE.

~~ Important Reminders for Parents ~~
Is your child absent/arriving late?
Please call Mrs. Lackie @ 731-1775 (or the Main Office @ 731-1771) if your child will be absent/arriving late to school. Please refer to our District Attendance Policy at https://www.cacsd.org/, under Parent Resources > Parent Documents > Attendance Policy Summary.
New York State Law requires written documentation to verify their absence upon their return. (Please include your child’s name, teacher’s name, and the reason for their absence on the note). Excessive Absences/Tardies will not be tolerated.
Jump Rope for Heart
Our Jump Rope for Heart fundraiser for the American Heart Association begins Feb. 4th. Throughout the weeks of February 4th and 11th, in the students' regular Physical Education classes, students will learn jump rope skills, how their heart works and that raising money for the American Heart Association helps kids with special hearts. Having fun, staying healthy and making a difference in the lives of others is the goal. Funds from this event support cardiovascular research and educational programs. Final date for bringing in donation envelopes is Friday, March 1. Donation envelopes and information on how to donate online will be sent home next week with those students who may be interested. Thank you for your support!
Is Your Child Too Sick for School?
We have been experiencing a great deal of illness across the district since the first of the year. The following guidelines are to assist you with deciding what is best for your child.
