CVES News & Updates
"It's a Great Day to Be a Warrior!"
Updates from Principal Cole
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The mission of Alabaster City Schools is to partner with families and the community to inspire and prepare graduates to be responsible and productive champions of their future.
Happy New Year everyone! Our first semester was incredible! I am so excited about 2017 at Creek View Elementary. Instead of choosing a New Year's Resolution, I have chosen one word that inspires me for the year. My one word is opportunity. I want to seek opportunities to grow, support, and shine. I also do not want to miss opportunities that come my way. Some of our teachers and students are choosing a word to share as well. Within this newsletter, you will find a picture and video of a class that has chosen words to share. I would like to challenge you to choose a word and share it with your child. I would like to thank you for your continuous support and share some things we are excited about at CVES this semester:
- Second Grade students will participate in Safety Around Water program at the YMCA this semester. (Formerly known as Learn to Swim).
- Third Grade students have completed ACT Aspire interim II assessments.
- Report cards will be sent home on Friday, January 6th.
- We are excited to have twelve teachers seeking National Board certification.
- Students are continuing to enjoy the STEAM lab. Our PTO purchased some robots called Dash and Dot, Ozobots, and Beebots that your child will be able to utilize this semester. We will host a STEAM lab night this spring. Date TBD.
- Our second annual Fun Run will be March 16th. More information will be sent home soon.
If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me. And thank you again for supporting Creek View Elementary School.
Sincerely,
Charissa Cole
