October News
Dear CCPS families,
We have a busy month planned at CCPS for the month of October and we hope you are able to attend some of our events. Kindergarten and firefly picnics will be October 10 and first grade picnics will be October 11. Board game days are a monthly event and our first board game day is October 25. We were nominated as a CLAS school of distinction for our Board Game Day and more information about this program is located on our website. Please check your child's folders for specific times for all of our events.
On October 31, we will have our annual character dress up parade at 8:15. This year, we will be have our fall festival during school hours to accommodate our families’ after school schedules. Please refer to your classroom newsletter for specific times and activities. This will be an amazing day!
Please remember that students will be out of school October 7 and 8. In addition, students will be dismissed at 11:30 on October 30 because teachers will be attending professional development.
I hope you have a wonderful fall!

Reading News from CCPS Curriculum Coach
My name is Erica Rutherford and I am the Reading Specialist at CCPS. I work with all students and teachers to increase reading achievement at our school. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions about your child’s progress or want additional ideas about how to help your child grow as a reader. You may contact me via email at erutherford@cullmancats.net. I look forward to a great year of learning with all of our students!
Perfect Attendance Incentives
Many of our youngest students miss 10% of the school year – about 18 days a year or just two days every month. Chronic absenteeism in kindergarten, and even PreK, can predict lower test scores, poor attendance and retention in later grades, especially if the problem persists for more than a year. To encourage our students to attend EVERY DAY and ON TIME we are offering this challenge to all our students! Classrooms with 100% perfect attendance - No absences, NO tardies and NO check outs - will receive a special treat and each student with 100% perfect attendance will receive a token to spend at the Treasure Tower! We will celebrate perfect attendance every month on the dates listed below!
