A message from the Principal

Happy September Families!

We are so excited for this upcoming month. We have a lot of great events and activities planned for both you and your children.

Picture Day is coming up! Students are not required to wear a uniform on this day, however they must wear CE Rose appropriate clothes for pictures (please no ripped jeans, midriffs, tank tops, or spaghetti straps.

Parent Teacher Conferences: September 18th- 20th Please make sure to schedule a conference with your child's teacher (you may reach out to them to schedule another day if the dates listed above are not available) to learn about their academic progress as well as other information that will support your child at school.

Please join us for our book fair the week of the 16th-20th, more information to come.

Last year we held a Literacy and Safety Night, we were able to share important information to help parents and students protect their children from online predators, drugs, and much more. We plan to hold another event from 5:00-7:00pm on Tuesday September 24th. At this important session, you can get information regarding drug prevention, online safety, literacy and more.

Quarterly District Testing: Towards the end of the month, we will begin our quarterly benchmark testing for our students. Students will be tested on learned concepts for this quarter. With this being said, it is extremely important that students are at school and on time.

Attendance: We have begun an attendance challenge at our school, where students will help chart daily attendance. We want our students to be at school. If they aren't at school, they aren't learning and we need to ensure they are prepared for state tests at the end of the year, which determines if they will be able to continue to the next grade level. We need your help. If students are sick, please call in their absence and make sure to bring in a doctor's note if their absence exceeds 3 days. I do plan to follow up with families regarding attendance concerns and issues.

We need your support to help our school and students succeed!

Thank you!

Mrs. Carmona-Alday
