Hello CIS Elementary Families and Community! This is Ms. Cano, the TK-5 program specialist, with some helpful information and updates. We hope you enjoyed your weekend! Week look forward to seeing you all online Monday morning.
As we jump into our third and final trimester of school, please make sure your student is attending class and their 1:1 meetings weekly. This will help keep them on track towards finishing this school year strong! Please be on the lookout for your student'a trimester 2 report card.
