CES Happenings

Dear CES Family,

What a special four-day week it's been at CES: a movie day at Mt. Lassen Theater, an awards assembly for grades 4-6, classroom Christmas parties AND the start of two weeks of vacation. Thanks for all of your support this week. I'd also like to recognize Mt. Lassen Theater for the gift of a free movie experience for all of our students and staff that included free popcorn and a visit from Santa and Mrs. Clause! It really was a great community moment for everyone. We love our town!

I wish you all the best this holiday season. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We really are looking forward to seeing all of you again when school resumes on January 8.

Sincerely,

Scott Cory

Principal

Winter Is Here, Wear Your Gear!

Time to start dressing for snow and cold weather! Unless it's raining, we're outdoors in the snow and the cold. Remember the gear: gloves, hats, snow bibs, jackets and snow boots. All of this will make your child's time outdoors much more enjoyable. When the snow comes and the snow hills appear on the playground, this gear will be required on the snow hills. Also, please remember to send a pair of tennis shoes with your student each day! This is important for PE and exercise times. Thank you!

School Attendance

School attendance matters! Students who are in school simply do better and learn more. Some of you have had questions about what constitutes an unexcused versus excused absence, so we've put together a cheat sheet for you. Please click on the image to find an answer to a question that you might have. Have additional questions? Contact our attendance clerk, Cheyne Gerbatz, at either 258-3194 / ext. 1202 or cgerbatz@pcoe.k12.ca.us.
