Dear CSE Parents,

Merry Christmas! December is such a fun month at College Street. Be sure to mark your calendars with all our events below. The Polar Express Reading Challenge begins Monday, December 9. Be looking for more information explaining this wonderful program. Also, our amazing High School band will be doing a special Christmas performance for our students on Monday, December 16. This is always a fun time! There are dress-up days the week of Dec. 16-19, and a third grade field trip on Thursday, December 19. Our teachers and staff are working hard each day to make this time of year fun and exciting for the students, while also ensuring the maximum amount of instruction and learning. Make sure your child is at school every day so they don't miss valuable instruction time and fun Christmas experiences. I pray that you have a peaceful Christmas break and a joyous New Year!

Let's have a great year at CSE!

On the north side of our campus (North St), please leave a gap in the car line in the mornings in front of this teacher parking lot entry way. Some of our teachers park in this back parking lot and they're having to wait a while until someone lets them in. Thank you!!!

1. Our car line is a phone-free zone by law. No texting or calling.
2. Have your car tag visible the whole time during car line.
3. If you do not have your car tag, please park and bring your driver's license to the office.
4. Do not get out of your car during car line. This is for safety and to keep the line flowing.

You can put money on your child's lunch account by going to the LISD website and using the Lunch Money NOW! link under QuickLinks.
