PreK and 1st grade parents:
Today your classes are having something in the classroom for grandparents and then if they would like they can take their grandchild to the book fair. This is totally optional.
We are opening the carline gate on Arena Road, to help with parking. Please let them know there is paring on Arena Road carline and they need to come to the office for a Visitor's badge before going to the classrooms.
Parents,
In coordination with the Lincoln Parish Sheriff's department, a drill was conducted of the new emergency alert app, Rave. The alert was only to test the system notification. No one was ever in any danger. Students did not practice for a lockdown drill. This was for the alert system and CES staff only.
2nd- 5th Grade Parents: We will begin our Open House at 5:30pm in the gym.
We hope to see everyone tonight. The Book Fair will also be open after open house ends for you to shop for your child. We look forward to seeing each of you tonight.

Parents today we had our first fire drill. We want to practice emergency procedures so if there ever is an emergency, our students will know exactly what to do. I just wanted to make everyone aware there was no fire today, we were just practicing!
Any Leap test scores that were not picked up on Prep Day are being sent home in an envelope in your child's folder.
Good afternoon Aggie family, Just a reminder that we have cross country practice today from 6-7pm 8/24/23 at The Gospel. Please bring a labeled water bottle and wear cool workout clothes. We cannot wait to see you all tonight!

Carline Reminder:
All parents picking up students in carline today, must have an orange 2023-24 CES carline tag. For safety reasons, we will not put anyone in the car that doesn't have a tag. If you have not gotten one for this year, please come by the office before carline begins.
PreK and K parents:
If you plan to walk your child to their class on the first day, please park in the back parking lot and walk through the back doors by the library or park on Walker Road facing south. If you plan to park on Walker Road, please only park on the south side of the road(downhill) to prevent any traffic issues with morning carline and buses.
It's going to be a great first day!

It's been a Fabulous Friday for our 1st-5th graders and I look forward to seeing our pre-k and K students next week. We are monitoring the heat index and changing our recess schedule accordingly. We would like all students to bring a water bottle with them each day.
If you would like to donate a case of water to a teacher's class, it would be greatly appreciated. Our students can refill their bottles during the day if needed.
PreK and K parents:
Boys will start on Monday, Aug. 21 and not come on Tuesday. Girls will start on Tuesday, August 22. Both boys and girls will come on Wednesday, Aug. 23. Parents, we know that the first day of school is exciting but a little overwhelming. This year, we are allowing parents to walk their prek or K student in on their 1st day of school. Please do not park in carline. On Wednesday, parents will not be allowed to walk their student in. We will have staff and older students stationed to help students get to the cafeteria and their classroom. If you have any questions, feel free to call the office. It will be a fantastic year!!
