Greetings, CVE Families!

I hope all is well with you and your families. Back in November, an accident took place on Mulberry St. where a student was hit by a car. We have asked that no one drop their student off by parking across the street from the school. Since this accident, I have asked my staff to park in the back to give families space to park in the lot while dropping off. We are still seeing parents parking on the other side and walking students over or letting the students out to cross over on their own. Please use the parking lot to drop your student off and reframe from parking across from the school. While I understand that the accident didn't happen while that parent was dropping off the students for school, we want to be proactive in avoiding any danger that could occur in the future. Please use the parking lot. There are plenty of spaces available.

I also asked that you not pull up between the buses or the signs out front indicating "Bus Only." I understand that many of you are rushing to get to work, but we want to avoid any accidents. We want to ensure the safety of our students, and this is the only way to do so.

I appreciate your understanding!

~ Mrs. Wright

Spring Parent-Teacher conferences will be virtual this year. Spring conferences are on an as-needed basis. The parameters for conferences are below:

· 12-15 minute time slots for elementary conferences

· 1 conference slot per student

· Teachers will conduct conferences via Teams

Mrs. Phillips' class had tons of fun on Monday making 3-D Math hearts and bringing in homemade boxes to collect and pass out their Valentines to their classmates! They also enjoyed a wonderful ice cream party that parents helped by donating all of the delicious items to make this possible! In addition, we had a competition for the best decorated boxes and the 3 winners were: Thomas Robins, Richard Jorah, and Alexis John. What a FUN day!

The students worked on Valentine's Day STEM activities. Some students had to build a tower with candy hearts. Other students watched the disappearing hearts in different types of liquids.
