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!!

We are excited about our start to the 2023-24 school year! Friday is the first day of school for 1st-5th graders. Carline will begin at 7:20. The tardy bell rings at 7:50. We will have extra staff stationed to help students find their classroom. Parents will not be allowed to walk students to their class on Friday. In the afternoon, the bell will ring at 3:15. Buses will load first and then car riders. If you were unable to pick up a car tag at Prep Day, please feel free to come by the office Wednesday or Thursday 8:30-3:00 to get one. On Monday, August 21, everyone must have a 2023-24 car tag to pick up a student in carline. Looking forward to seeing everyone soon!

If you were unable to attend Prep Day on Wednesday, we will have the prep day forms available outside the front door after school hours and next week in the office for pick up. We look forward to seeing everyone soon!

Tomorrow is Prep Day 7:30-4:00. Parents if you were not able to download the forms needed or pick up at the office, we will have blank forms available in the cafeteria. To be eligible for the drawing you need to turn in all forms to your teacher and pay the $15 school fee. Class rosters will be posted at the back door by the library and at the front entrace. We will also have available in the office: Leap scores for 4th & 5th graders, purchased yearbooks, Aggie pride yard signs for sale, and CES tshirt pick up. Teachers will be at lunch from 1:00-2:00 but you will still have an opportunity to drop off supplies. We are asking all parents to stop by the cafeteria and sign our Back to School posters to help spread positivity for our students this year. There is also a backdrop for photos. The majority of our teachers will be here, but in the event that they had a prior committment they will have someone in their room to receive school supplies and let you look at the classroom. Looking forward to seeing everyone on Prep Day!

Parents, There was an issue with the LP District Student Handbook QR code. This is the QR code that will open without issues.
