Dragon News

Hi CPS Families,

What a week of celebrating our staff! Each day was a different theme and we can't thank you enough for your kind messages sent about the people here at CPS that make a difference in the lives of your kiddos everyday! Many thanks to the China PTO for their contribution in making this week all about our CPS staff. CPS is the BEST!

Next Tuesday is an early release day AND our Kindergarten Open House from 4:30 - 5:30. Please RSVP by calling the school if you have a kiddo entering Kindergarten. You'll meet our fabulous Kindergarten staff and take home a swag bag full of goodies. We look forward to meeting our future CPS Dragons!

Bikes for Books is in full swing now and tickets are coming in by the handful! Keep reading at home and at school.

Have a wonderful weekend!

~Ms. Pattershall and Mrs. Desrosiers

🏀⚽🏈 This is a reminder that there should be no balls or playground equipment coming to school with students! We thank you for your help with this! ⚽🏀🏈

Please review the health manual accessible via our school’s website for the full policy on when to stay home and when it is appropriate to return to school. A few key points are fevers, diarrhea and vomiting. Your child must be free of both without medication for 24 hours before returning to school.

We are also seeing students that are in need of a change of clothes for various reasons, so it would be helpful if they keep a seasonally appropriate change of clothes including socks in their backpacks daily.

Next meeting is June 5th at 6pm on Google Meet! Here's the link: https://meet.google.com/kvu-jxtp-vuo

Hope you can make it!!
