From the Principal's Desk

The CGE composting initiative is going well and we appreciate the volunteer support. We continue to need cafeteria volunteers, however, to sustain the program. We need at least one volunteer per lunchroom monitor shift, to assist teachers and students with this process. For this week, we have eight shifts open. Please consider volunteering to support this initiative. Sign-up with this link.

Car Rider reminders

For all our children's safety, the following procedures are in place. Please, 

1) Do not pull out to pass a car unless directed to do so by a staff member.

2) Stay in your car. If your child needs additional support to get out of the car on a particular day, then please park and walk your child to the car rider sidewalk.

Thank you for your help on these items!
