Campus News & Celebrations

New Staff Highlight

Welcome to CCE Ms. Lott! We are "out of this world" excited to have you!

3rd Grade Fun!

Third graders spent an afternoon last week learning about the engineering design process by trying to build a gumdog bridge that could support as many settings as possible. The record was 118 pennies (mainly because we ran out of pennies)!

Notes from the CCES Office & Admin

September 13, 2024

We had a BIG turn out for PTA’s Breakfast Buddies this morning! Thank you for coming. It was fun seeing everyone that attended. Thank you PTA for providing cereal and coffee, it was a nice treat! :)

Just a couple safety reminders:

Please be aware, at dismissal we still have people exiting the parking lot at Boulder. Please make sure that you are allowing space for vehicles to exit the parking lot as you are lining up for the car rider line.
Please make sure you are using the crosswalks and modeling safe walking habits for our students.

Hope you have a wonderful weekend. See you back on Monday!

Electronic Devices (Including Smart Watches)

The district permits students to possess personal cell phones for safety purposes; however, these devices must remain turned off during the instructional day, including during all testing,

unless they are being used for approved instructional purposes.

A student must have approval to possess other personal telecommunications devices on campus such as laptops, tablets, or other portable computers. Without such permission, teachers will collect the items and turn them in to the principal’s office. The principal will determine whether to return items to students at the end of the day or to contact parents to pick up the items.

The use of cell phones or any device capable of capturing images is strictly prohibited in locker rooms or restroom areas while at school or at a school-related or school-sponsored event.

If a student uses a telecommunications device without authorization during the school day, the device will be confiscated.

The principal will determine whether to return the item to the student at the end of the day or to contact the parents/guardian to pick up the confiscated telecommunications device from the principal’s office for a fee of $15.

For more information please view the RRISD Student Handbook.

Volunteer Reminders

Always bring your ID when coming onto campus in order to badge in. If you would like to volunteer, you must be approved through RRISD. Please see below for link to register.

Assisting Students with Grades 3rd-5th

There are 2 things that parents can do to assist with monitoring assignments and grades.

1. HAC: The district provides both Parent and Student access to Home Access Center (HAC) for grades 3-5. Please see the button below for information. Parents and students each have their own accounts.

2. Google Classroom: Some teachers will be using Google Classroom as their LMS this year. You may inquire with your student to be able to log-in with the student view using their Google email (the email uses the student ID# in the following format: s123456@student.roundrockisd.org) and unique 24-25 password, students/teachers have this.

There is also a new Guardian summary for parents that you can inquire about with your student's teacher. It simply sends weekly summaries.
