CES- Principal Message

Parents,

Happy June! I hope everyone is having a great weekend! Coach Perry's last day was this week, but we are excited to welcome back Coach Schmidt starting tomorrow! Coach Schmidt was our PE teacher for several years and is joining our staff again! 😃

Many of you have now seen our amazing yearbook for this school year! There are just a few yearbooks left to purchase. If you would like to purchase a yearbook, click on this link: cesspirit.cheddarup.com

Thank you to the following PTA members who worked so tirelessly on the yearbook: Mia Bashir and Natalie Ortiz and teachers: Ms. Cavola, Ms. Coffey, and Ms. Langebeck. They did an amazing job!

Tracks 2 and 4 have their Field Day this Friday- they should bring their bathing suits to change into because they may get wet from water events.

As we approach the end of the school year, student attendance remains a top priority. It is essential that all students are present each day to ensure they are meeting grade-level benchmarks through ongoing testing, assessments, and end-of-year learning activities.

Per WCPSS policy, students must be present for the final 10 days of school. Failure to attend may result in the student being withdrawn from the district, requiring parents/guardians to re-register the student for the 2025–2026 school year.

Please note that the last day of school is Thursday, June 26, 2025 for Tracks 2, 3, and 4. Attendance is still required even if a student has completed their End-of-Grade (EOG) testing.

If you have any questions, please contact:

• Ms. Collins, Principal

• Ms. Russ, School Social Worker

Thank you for your attention to this important matter and for your continued partnership in supporting student success.
