On Tuesday, December 19, 2023, CES students will spend their morning (8:30-11:00) participating in Charlie Brown Christmas themed activities. Students will travel to four different grade levels, where they will complete an activity that fits with the theme.
To help make this a success, we are looking for volunteers who may be interested in helping with this event. The goal is to find a volunteer for each classroom, and as a result space is very limited!
If you would like to help in your child's classroom during this event, we ask that you submit the following information. We expect a large response, but due to the limited number of spaces, only parents who are chosen will receive a follow up response.
In order to volunteer, you must meet the following criteria:
1)You are the parent/guardian of a CES student (sorry no grandparents/siblings)
2)Already have a completed limited criminal history background check on file with the school.
3) Be available to help as needed anytime between the hours of 8:10am and 11:30am
4) Be willing to help do whatever is needed to ensure fun and learning for our students
If you meet this criteria, and would like to help in your child's class, please complete the following information, and submit it as soon as possible.
If you are selected to help in your child's classroom you will be notified by a school employee by Friday, December 8. As a reminder, you will only get a response if you are selected to help in your child's room.

Good afternoon,
This notice is to let you know of an upcoming bus time change for your student. You child currently rides Mr. Merl’s bus, which is a bus that has a daily, double route servicing the Flora area. Due to an increase in the number of students being serviced by these routes, one of these routes is overcrowded. To help ensure student safety, and relieve this overcrowding, we will be making a bus route change starting this Thursday, November 16, 2023.
If you are receiving this message, your child will be picked up and dropped off approximately 15 minutes earlier in the morning and afternoon. We ask for your patience as we work out exact timing for each stop, and please know by the end of next week we should be back to a consistent pickup/drop off time. In the interim, we ask that you please have students to their bus stop 15-20 minutes earlier than their current time, and expect students to arrive home 15-20 minutes earlier in the afternoon.
Again this change will be in effect this Thursday, November 16.
Thank you for your patience and understanding. Our goal is to provide each student adequate room on the bus both to and from school. We look forward to ensuring your child’s safety and comfort with these necessary changes.
Have a great afternoon!
Parents of some students who ride the bus from Flora (Bus #14) received information today in regards to routes changes that will take effect on Thursday. Only students who are effected by these changes were notified. If you have further questions, please contact the office on Wednesday.
