As the mornings continue to grow cooler, please be sure to label your child's jackets. We already have many lost jackets and sweaters. : )

Did you know...that instead of using enrollment numbers (the number of actual students served), Texas determines school funding based on daily attendance. How this affects CES and CISD is that for every student not present at school (attendance taken at 10:00) on a particular day, the state withholds approximately $50 in funding. CES had 260 total student absences for the month of September which cost our district approximately $13,000 in withheld funding and we are only 1 of 11 campuses.

Monthly Attendance By the Numbers:

September - 98%

Congratulations to the following classes for excellent café behavior.

From the CISD Gift Basket Coordinator:

I am getting ready to begin work on our Holiday Hunger Project, which includes Christmas gift baskets for our CISD Staff. Each basket includes one holiday meal and a $25 grocery gift card.

I am hoping your team can assist me with writing generic, Thank You cards for our hourly staff. They are critical to all things CISD and often overlooked. Last year my Altrusa volunteers wrote the cards, this year I would like the kids or even teachers to write them. We need 150 cards by December 6th for assembly.
