CSE will be hosting a Read-a-Thon to celebrate "Read Across America". It will run for 2 weeks from 3/4 - 3/15. It is ALL digital. You will receive information on Remind and in your child's folder. Students can log minutes for all reading that occurs at home and at school. To make it easier, students will be sponsored with flat dollar amounts, not for each minute.
Students will earn prizes from the online prize store based on their fundraising. In addition, the reader with the most minutes and the reader with the most donations will be able to pick a free book from the book vending machine AND the top-earning class will win a snack party. We encourage you to activate your student's account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/CnYSGU/1 and following the simple instructions. We will be raising money to update lots of items in our library. Thanks so much for your participation and support!
There will be NO ASP Thursday March, 28th. Please make other arrangements for your child to be picked up that day. Also, be sure to send a note to your child's teacher to communicate how they will be going home. Thank you!
We will reward and recognize students with excellent attendance this year! The following people had *PERFECT Attendance in February (PERFECT means no tardies, no early dismissals, no absences)
