Cecil Picard Mission & Vision

CPE 4-H Food Drive

🌟 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.

We are incredibly proud to celebrate our amazing school performance score of 96 — an A! This achievement reflects the hard work, dedication, and teamwork of our students, teachers, staff, and supportive families.

Every day, our school community strives for excellence, and this score is a shining reminder of what we can accomplish when we work together.

Here’s to continued growth, learning, and success at Cecil Picard Elementary!

Fall Into Reading Day at Cecil Picard Elementary! Thank you to all the parents and guardians who took time out of their day to make this event so meaningful for our students. Here’s to growing readers, building memories, and celebrating the love of books! 

A special congratulations to Blayke Miller for becoming an AR reader! 

Shoutout to these amazing readers for earning the Pizza with the Principal AR Reward! Your commitment to reading is paying off, and we’re thrilled to celebrate your success. Keep turning those pages, Junior Patriots! 

Mrs. Darbi’s third graders were challenged to construct a device, The Floating Paper Clip Device, in which multiple forces act on a paper clip, causing the paper clip to float. 

Ridge Ramsey, Cecil Picard’s Student of the Year, was recognized at the November 20th School Board Meeting! 🎉 We are SO proud of you, Ridge! Keep shining, Junior Patriot! 💙❤️

CPE PBIS Information
At CPE, we’re committed to reducing office referrals by embracing PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports). PBIS sets clear expectations, reinforces positive behavior, and provides consistent support to help students make great choices. By recognizing and rewarding positive actions, we’re building a respectful, productive, and fun school community.

Grading Period Celebrations

Celebrations take place at the end of every grading period. Students who go the entire grading period without any major office referrals get to participate in these events. Students start fresh for every grading period event.
