A Note from Mrs. Goldsworthy
Dear CSSE Families,
All of a sudden it’s fully Spring! We’ve got more daylight in the evening, warmer temps, and Spring Break! Teachers will be in professional development tomorrow, but for your kids, the break begins now! We will return to school on Monday, March 25th.
Mrs. McCoy and Mrs. Hill have decided to stay home with their newborns. Mrs. Skiles will continue as MS Math Teacher. Mrs. Winfrey will continue as full term substitute teacher for Mrs. McCoy. Mrs. Jansen’s last day with CSSE is tomorrow. We are currently working to fill her position. We wish all these ladies the best.
PCTC News! We are beginning to receive checks for families from PCTC, but it will take some time to process. We will send out information after Spring Break to set times for families to come endorse the checks. If we have received your PCTC check, and you have a payment scheduled to come out on March 20th, Mrs. Metz has put a hold on their account so that payments do not automatically withdraw. Stay tuned for more after the break!
Faith Forward,
Mrs. Goldsworthy
