Choudrant Elementary School

Parent Night- Feb. 13 Mrs. Lindsey Crawford is coming to Choudrant Elementary on Feb. 13 from 6-7pm to speak to our parents and guardians. Her presentation will focus on 3 main areas: how technology impacts our children's (1) mental health, (2) relationships, and (3) safety. She will also share information about how technology is impacting Lincoln Parish students and how technology impacts growing brains. We want to thank Mrs. O'Neal for setting this up for us. This is such an important topic in today's time.

Parents, Here is February's lunch menu. We are sending paper copies of breakfast and lunch home in Tuesday's folders. We will continue this each month. https://5il.co/1oh7i

Choudrant Elementary: Hope everyone has had a restful weekend. I wanted to remind everyone that tomorrow is Coffee and Communication from 8:00-8:45am in the library. Come and enjoy a cup of coffee and visit with parents and the principal about anything that you want to discuss. I am including a google form if you would like to speak on a specific topic. I think parent communication and relationships with the school are the most important factors in growing a school and ensuring that we are making our decisions based on what's in the best interest of students. We are thankful that our school board representative Mr. Hancock will also be there. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfAtdEYEg9s9uxqHG0rm-TLjQxo6_2WEvt8j0Ra1xFfPhhpyw/viewform?usp=pp_url

Parent Reminder: Coffee & Communication is this Tuesday, Nov. 29 from 8:00-9:00 am in the library. This is a time to visit with Mrs. Martin about upcoming events or topics that are important to CES. Based on the parent survey sent out before Thanksgiving, we will be discussing: 1. Possibility of 6th grade moving to Choudrant High School next year. 2. A few parents also asked that we discuss uniforms. I'm happy to discuss this topic, but I do want to stress that CES does not have plans for our students to move to uniforms in the near future. I believe that open communication is vital to the success of Choudrant Elementary. I look forward to visiting with parents on Tuesday.
