From the Principal's Desk
If you are picking up a child other than your own in carpool, please remember that you need to have been granted permission to pick up that child by the parent of that child. That permission must be documented in our PowerSchool system. If you need to add another parent to your child’s PowerSchool account, please contact Ms. Jennifer Glosson. Her email address is: jglosson@chatham.k12.nc.us.

It's almost time for CGE's First Read-a-thon!
Read-a-thon promises to be a fun, exciting journey that starts Thursday February 23, 2023. We will get your children excited about reading. Materials will start coming home this week.
We know you have limited time but want the best education for your child. That’s why we hope everyone will activate their reader's account as soon as possible. This is where you can record and view your reader's progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/BGrQLd/1 and following the simple instructions.
Thanks so much,

Around the School
In the Library
Book Drive!
We are having our 2nd annual book drive for CGE! Books will be used primarily in the library. Some will be:
Placed our collection.
Taken by other students to add to their personal libraries.
Used in various parts of the building to help build a reading culture.
The Book Drive Collection box will be in the lobby and students are welcome to bring books straight to the library.
Thanks so much for supporting reading at CGE!
SORA -- Online Books
Students have access to our CCS online library called Sora. Sora is a student-friendly reading app for e-books and audiobooks. Students have anytime-anywhere access to digital books through their Chromebooks or their mobile devices/tablets. In their account, students can take notes and highlight books, track their reading statistics, and more! Students can read on any device, but they will need their user names and logins to do this.
