📚 AR Reading Challenge Reminder 📚
Our AR Reading Challenge has been going strong all year, and we want to take a moment to remind families about this ongoing weekly incentive that encourages students to build strong reading habits.
Each week, we track AR reading progress by homeroom. In each grade level, the class with the highest number of AR points earned for the week is recognized and rewarded.
🎉 Weekly Reward:
Winning students earn an extra snack from the snack cart
Your continued support at home makes a big difference! Encouraging your child to read daily and stay engaged with their AR goals helps build confidence, comprehension, and a lifelong love of reading. Thank you for partnering with us to keep reading a priority all year long! 📖🌟
⭐ ZEARN Weekly Challenge Reminder ⭐
⭐ ZEARN Weekly Challenge Reminder ⭐
Our ZEARN challenge has been in place all year, and we want to take a moment to remind families how important consistent lesson completion is for student growth in math.
Each week, classes in every grade level are working toward the following goal:
At least 80% of students in the class complete 3 or more on-grade-level ZEARN lessons.The class with the highest number of on-level lessons completed, while meeting the 80% participation requirement, earns an extra snack from the snack cart for the week.
Your continued encouragement and support at home truly make a difference. Helping students stay consistent with their ZEARN lessons builds strong math habits and supports their success in the classroom.
🌟 Shining Stars Celebrations! 🌟
We’re thrilled to launch a new event at Cecil Picard to honor our Star Students each month who consistently demonstrate integrity, resilience, respect, and responsibility. Join us in celebrating their hard work and positive impact! Please note, this once a month celebration will be replacing our STAR student breakfast. The next STAR student celebration is April 27, at 8:15AM.
Attendance Matters—Every Day & On Time!
Being at school and on time each day helps our Jr. Patriots start strong and stay on track with their learning. Morning routines and first lessons set the tone for the day, and every minute counts. We understand that sometimes children may be too sick to attend, and we want them to stay home to rest and recover when that happens. Otherwise, we encourage all students to be present and ready to learn each day. Thank you for helping your child build strong habits and make the most of every school day!
Easter fun at CPE!
4th grade experienced A Spicy Trip into Natureon their field trip to the Tabasco Factory and Jungle Gardens! At the factory, students learned how Tabasco hot sauce is made- from growing the peppers, smelling the fermentation process ( a student favorite ) to bottling the sauce! After a picnic lunch under the Green Oaks with hanging Spanish moss, students also visited the Jungle Gardens with beautiful sites of nature!
We all experienced a fun day with a little education in all four subjects!
Cecil Picard Elementary is so proud of our fifth grade students for representing our school so well at Band Day! Their hard work, dedication, and school spirit truly shined. We are proud of you!
