RECESS, P.E. FIELD DAY- OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES
Allergy season is among us and we are getting many requests to keep scholars in the building. We have been implementing a one day grace to keep a scholar inside. Anytime longer than a day we will need a doctor's note stating that your scholar has a medical need and can't participate in any outside activities. That note will cover all outside activities including recess, P.E., and field day.

Dear 5th Grade Parents,
The staff here at CES is very excited to host our special event for our 5th grade stars. We ask that you try to arrive a few minutes early. We also ask that you enter through our bus loop. We’ll have staff members there to welcome you and help you find a seat. Please remember that, as with all events during the school day, are adult only due to caapcity we’re unable to welcome siblings, including FCPS siblings. With your help, I know our event will be a wonderful experience for our 5th grader stars and families.
