CIS Weekly Updates

This year's spelling bee will be different from year's past. It will occur after school and it will be 5th and 6th grade combined. Teachers have already given their qualifier and students who wish to participate will compete on Wednesday, January 22nd! Those who wish to watch the spelling bee should plan to arrive between 3:30-3:45. Please park behind No. 1 Chinese due to limited parking during dismissal.

It has been brought to my attention that we have students being dropped off in the middle of Lyman St. Please be sure to utilize our car rider loop in the front of the school (Main St.) to drop off your son or daughter. If you have students walking to/from school, please remind them to utilize crosswalks and wait for the signal to cross. We've had students who don't pay attention and cross where ever and whenever they want. Our goal is to make sure our students are safe during arrival and dismissal. Thank you for your understanding.

Students who wish to participate in the Lip Sync Battle need to sign up over the next two weeks. This has been an incredible event for our students! Students may need help editing their audio clips. Please do not wait until the last day to sign up. Thank you to our PTO for organizing this award-winning opportunity!

Have a GREAT Week!

Brandon Cobb, Principal

Our students have taken the qualifying test and those who have qualified will participate in the CIS Spelling Bee Competition on Wednesday, January 22, at 3:45pm. Anyone is welcome to be a spectator at this event. In order to avoid traffic during that time of the day, parents may park across the street in the city lot behind No.1 Kitchen.

Our attendance clerk, Mrs. Long, is the contact person for calling off your student and any change of dismissal plans throughout the day. Please call the Attendance Line to reach her and leave a message. The phone number to her desk is 330-335-1481. We recommend you let the attendance desk/teacher know when your student will be absent, leaving early, or arriving late. Letting us know when your child will leave early allows us to be prepared for when you arrive. We ask that all end-of-the-day dismissal plans be made by 2:45 p.m. Thank you for your efforts!
