The time of year has come to start planning for the next school year. It hardly seems possible! One important piece of our planning for the next school year is the determination of class lists. The teachers work long and hard to prepare balanced class lists. Your child's teacher knows your child well and will work hard to place your child where he/she will be the most successful. Please know that we do not accept requests for specific teachers. For parents who believe their child may have specific needs that the school staff may not be aware of, please click on the link to fill out a survey: Student Placement Input Form

Parents, Community Education is pleased to again be offering CAHOOTS, a K-5 summer math and language arts correspondence workbook program.

The program is portable, flexible and designed to closely match our district curriculum through an engaging and reflective approach to learning. After completing each lesson and checking answers online, students complete an assignment reflection and send to a CAHOOTS Buddy who will send a written response back.

You will receive a letter which includes enrollment instructions the week of February 26. Cost is $45. Final registration is due March 29.

Sample workbook pages can be viewed at ce.district196.org/enrichyouth.

ENROLL:

To enroll, visit district196.ce.eleyo.com. Search for CAHOOTS and your school name, select appropriate grade level for fall 2024 (1-6; 1=entering 1st grade, 2=entering 2nd grade, etc.).

If you are unable to enroll online, please call the Community Education office at 651.423.7920 to register or if you require fee assistance.

It is recommended students work on the grade level they will be entering in the fall (i.e. 1st grade is a review of kindergarten), to review and reinforce skills learned during the school year. Please discuss with your child’s teacher, if you feel another level may be more suitable.

CAHOOTS should not be considered a replacement for participating in summer school, if your child qualifies. CAHOOTS is not intended to replace regular reading for enjoyment or math activities that strengthen your child’s fluency and love for math.

Enrollment for spring after school fun and learning classes through Community Education is open. The classes offered are Art Splash! (grades K-5), Grand Masters of Chess (grades K-5), Drama Lab (grades K-5), and Marvelous Moving Machines (grades 1-5). Classes begin in April. Go to ce.district196.org for more details, and to register.
