A note from Mrs. Hildebrandt

If you have not already done so, please read through the behavior compact with your child, sign and send it back to your child’s teacher. This is important to creating a school-family partnership with agreed upon expectations.

Students were reminded this week of the school policy that no cellphones are allowed to be out from arrival to dismissal. Students also should not have any toys, fidgets, trinkets or stuffies unless special permission by a teacher or designated in an IEP/504 plan. Hats are not permitted at school. Please ensure your child is leaving these items at home. We appreciate your partnership!

Paws for Applause!

Our CES staff are amazing, and we want to make sure we take time to recognize them!

The Paws for Applause form is a way to celebrate a staff member who has gone above and beyond, made a difference for students or colleagues, or simply brought positivity to our school community.

Did someone make your day a little easier? Support your student in a big way? Jump in to help when needed? Bring positive energy to CES?

Give them some Paws for Applause! 

Simply fill out the form below to recognize a staff member and share a little about why they deserve some appreciation. Submissions will be shared with the staff member and showcased in our hallways.
