Good Afternoon CHES Families,

I wanted to share a special shout out to Ms. Harris, Ms. Jordan, and EVERYONE especially Ms. Ciscato, Ms. Augustin, Mr. Wright, and Ms. Miles who volunteered through time and/or donations to make our fifth grade production a HUGE success!!  I thank each of you for doing your part to help our 5th graders learn, grow, and express themselves!  I know countless hours were spent on this.  

Other special shout outs go to Ms. French, Ms. Riggin, Ms. Pierpont, and ALL  of the volunteers including staff members and community members who helped with our book fair, and glow gallery this past week!  It was a busy, but fun week!!!

Reminder that March 20 is a holiday and there is no school.  

Lost & Found - the lost & found is near the front lobby.  It has many jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles, etc.  Please stop by and take a look if your student is missing something.  The lost & found will be out until March 27.  After that time, items will be discarded.

• Please help us keep our students safe during parent drop-off.    We have noticed an increase in students hanging out of windows and sunroofs while cars are moving in the drop off line. For their safety, we kindly ask that all children remain seated and buckled in until your vehicle has come to a complete stop at the designated drop-off point. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us maintain a safe environment for everyone.

• Whenever you or someone authorized to pick up your child comes into the office, a physical identification card must be presented.  An image of an ID card will not be accepted. 

**Due to snow, ice, and inclement weather impacting instructional days, our Spring SOL dates have shifted.  Please see the schedule below and make note on your calendar to avoid scheduling appointments on these days. 

*Note slight change below...4th grade will take the reading SOL over 2 days (May 6 and 7), in addition to 3rd grade doing this.  5th will take reading in a single day.  For math, 3rd grade is the only grade taking the SOL over 2 days.  4th & 5th take math in a single day.
