CCES PANTHER'S CHOOSE KINDNESS 2023-2024
WELCOME BACK
Our theme for this school year is "Choose Kindness." We want our Panthers to make a conscious effort to be kind to one another in everything they do. When our Panthers "Choose Kindness" they act with generosity, compassion, and thoughtfulness. Discuss with your child what it means to be kind and to think before we speak and act.
It was so wonderful to see so many parents and caregivers at Curriculum Night. We value your partnership in your child's education. Please be sure to check your child's homework folder every night. At Citrus Cove, we expect each child to read at home every night. We encourage families to read together, this helps your child's brain development and language skills; not to mention it is a wonderful way to spend quality time with your child at home.
We are looking forward to an OUTSTANDING 2023-2024 school year and remember Panthers Believe, Achieve, and Succeed!
