Caley Elementary School will join with thousands of schools nationwide in celebrating ‘Read Across America’ Day the week of March 2-6. Read Across America Day is a nationwide motivational reading program that inspires children to read everyday!
Read Across America Day is a wonderful way to instill a love of reading in our children. We look forward to celebrating it in March!

As we dive into this busy month to celebrate Black History Month, Lunar New Year, Presidents' Day, and more, please take note of the following calendar updates:
Thursday & Friday, Feb 12–13: Teacher In-Service Days (No school for students)
Monday, Feb 16: Presidents' Day (No school)
⚫ To honor Black History Month, our classes are participating in a Door Decorating Contest! Each class is focusing on a significant historical figure. Be sure to ask your child which famous person their class is learning about and how they are helping to decorate their door!
We are focusing on kindness all month long! Students and staff are encouraged to give Kindness Kudos to anyone in our building, regardless of grade or class. Every Friday, announcements will include a special shout-out to the students who gave and received Kudos.
We want to celebrate kindness at home, too! Please use the Family Kindness Survey to share the wonderful things your child is doing outside of school. You can submit as many entries as you like! We will honor these students and families by featuring their stories on our Kindness Mural in the hallways.
Thank you for your partnership in making our community a kinder place!💜
