Happy New Year CGE Families!
I hope that winter break allowed you all to spend time together as a family and enjoy some time away from the routine of the school week. We are excited to keep moving forward in person as much as possible throughout the next two trimesters. That is our priority.
Enjoy the weekend!

Update for 2nd and 3rd grade families: CogAT Results
Before winter break, 2nd and 3rd grade students took the Cognitive Abilities Test (CogAT). The CogAT, along with other assessment data, can help your child’s teachers better support their strengths and areas for growth. The timeline for testing and results has been extended. CogAT scores will be shared with families by the end of February.
For more about the CogAT see the Frequently Asked Questions. Please contact Talent Development and Advanced Academics with any questions about the CogAT.
The word of the month for January is Courageous
