Principal Message

CES Families,

We have a busy week of fun activities ahead. I hope to see you all at the Homecoming Mini Parade on Friday. The parade will be begin at 9:40. For viewing, please stand along with Clinton Junior Senior High drive. During the parade, the CES Office will be closed. Students will also gather in our front circle drive to watch the CJHS Parade at 2:00. Please keep these times in mind if you pre-arranged appointments for pick-up or drop-off. 

In preparation for the Homecoming Varsity Football game on Friday, please review our CCSD expectations for elementary students.

For Elementary School Students 
  1. Must attend with a parent or guardian
  2. Children must remain directly supervised by their parent/guardian.  This means if the parent is seated in the stands, children are expected to be seated in the stands as well.  If parents are standing along the fence or at other locations in the facility, their children must be located within 3 feet.
  3. Footballs or other objects that have the potential to harm other spectators are not permitted.  Please do not bring these items as you will not be allowed to enter with them.  In no circumstance will prohibited items be “stored” or “secured” by District staff.
  4. No re-entry is permitted once you leave the gated area. 

The purpose of these policies is to be responsive to prior incidents of injury, behavior, and supervision.  While our intention is not to deprive students of the opportunity to play or attend, the purpose for attending football games is to be an active spectator.  We simply do not have the capacity to supervise children playing in a sufficient enough manner.

See you tomorrow! 

Warmly,
Mrs. Collins
 

Paws for Applause!

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

October Character Trait- Responsibility

For the month of October, our focus will be on Responsibility. Students will be learning about and practicing how to:
  • Take ownership of their actions and choices.
  • Follow through on commitments and complete tasks.
  • Make safe, respectful decisions at school and in the community.
We invite you to reinforce this trait at home by encouraging your child to take responsibility in age-appropriate ways, such as completing chores, managing their belongings, and being accountable for their words and actions.

Thank you for your continued support in helping our students grow as responsible learners and community members.
 

Attendance Matters!

If your child is absent and has been seen by a doctor please remember to bring doctor notes into school as soon as possible so we can ensure it does not count as one of your child's 10 excused days. Also keep in mind that arriving late to school 5 times in one trimester will constitute the equivalent of one absence.
