Curington Connection

Hello, Curington Families!

Welcome to a new week. This past week, our school was able to celebrate all of our veterans at our Veterans Day Ceremony. We would like to once again thank our nation's heroes for serving our country. We want to thank our student council, our choir, our science/social studies committee, and our music teacher, Ms. Knauff, for helping put this event together.

Our school also received over $3,000 dollars in Boerne Education Foundation grants last week! We want to thank our teachers for applying for these grants in which the projects support our school and our students!

This Tuesday, we invite our families to join us for our 4th Grade Musical at 6 pm in the CES cafe. We are looking forward to seeing our students perform!

Our campus goal continues to be 96% or higher each day! Thank you for helping us bring your child to school each day. Please review the reminders below for our upcoming events.

Have a great week of learning!

Go Cougars!

Mrs. Talia Hernandez

CES is excited to announce that the referral window for the Gifted and Talented program will be open from November 15th to December 17th. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to nominate your child for consideration in our Gifted and Talented program, which is designed to provide advanced educational opportunities for students who demonstrate exceptional abilities.

If you believe your child would benefit from this program, please take the time to submit a referral during this window. Additional information about the process, including the referral link, can be found on the district’s Advanced Academics website linked below

We encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have regarding the referral process. Thank you for your continued support in fostering our students’ growth and potential.

Parents,

This year we will have a "Career Day" for our students at CES; our tentative date is February 14th, 2024. In order for us to provide a powerful learning experience for all, we are planning ahead and asking our parents for assistance in this endeavor. We want to know what our students' parents do for a living and if they are willing to come and share their experience in their specific field with us. If you are willing and able to participate in our special "Career Day" this year, please complete the following form.

Note: This is for the purpose of identifying our options only at this time and does not bind you to any commitment. After we gather this information, we will then reach out to select parents to plan our presentations. This interest form will be open from November 18th through December 18th .

Thank you!.

Ms. Torres-School Counselor

Students who attend school regularly have been shown to achieve higher levels than students who do not have regular attendance.

• Official attendance times are 10am for Elementary and 10:30am for Secondary.
