CCI Families,

We’ve officially wrapped up our third week of school, and I’m thrilled with the energy and engagement students have brought into the building each day! As we continue to settle into the school year, I want to remind everyone of our 94% attendance goal. Regular attendance is key to student success, and we need the support of all families to reach this goal!

Cheer Pepsi Fundraiser is currently underway! This is a great opportunity to support our cheerleaders and get some delicious refreshments. Don’t miss out!

We also have several exciting opportunities for our students: Sign-ups for Student Council, Applications for Cedar Leaders, and Robotics are due by September 9. Encourage your child to get involved and take advantage of these wonderful programs!

Looking ahead, the Scholastic Book Fair will be held next week during library and Grandparent's Day, and Grandparents Day is just around the corner on Friday, September 6. We’re excited to welcome grandparents to Cedar Crest for a special afternoon of activities with their grandchildren.

Finally, I want to wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Labor Day weekend. Take this time to relax and recharge—we’ll see you back on Tuesday!

As always, if you have any questions or concerns don't hesitate to reach out! cassie.williams@sedubois.k12.in.us

Every moment matters,

Mrs. Williams

As a reminder the Dubois County Health Department will be hosting the Cedar Crest

Fall Vaccine Clinic here at school on September 19th 2024. They will be offering MCV4,

TDAP, and HPV vaccines to students in need of vaccination. Both the MCV4 and TDAP

vaccines are required prior to the start of 6th grade, and this is a great opportunity for

students to get up to date!

We’re excited to offer our students a chance to be part of K-Kids, an awesome service club where kids learn leadership skills while making a difference in our school and community! K-Kids is all about having fun while working together on projects that help others.

K-Kids meets twice a month on Tuesdays during lunch and recess, so it’s easy for students to get involved. Miss Peggy, our club advisor, asks that students who sign up make a commitment to stick with the club and be active participants throughout the year. We’re looking for kids who are ready to be part of something special and who won’t quit when the going gets tough.

If your child enjoys helping others and wants to be part of a team that’s all about making our school and community a better place, K-Kids could be a perfect fit. We can’t wait to see what our K-Kids accomplish this year! Click the link below for sign up information, due September 1.

For information about your child's bus route, please contact SED Transportation Director, Mr. Ryan Haas. Please call 812-817-0900 extension 4 or email ryan.haas@sedubois.k12.in.us.
