It has been another great week at CCES.  

We are excited about Panther Time beginning next week.  Homeroom teachers - remember that you will follow an alternate schedule on your Panther Time day.  Students need to have had recess before Panther Time.  

If you haven't signed the CEP form, please do so now.  

Also, all staff needs to complete the Show on the Road school compliance training.  Print out the certificate, sign and turn in to Lisa's mailbox.

SAFETY ISSUES
*Please take radios to the playground.
*All teachers should have a key to the gate locks.  You will need this if you are out on the playground and need to go to the Mary Ann Keen center if our building is in lockdown. 
*When we go into lockdown, teachers need to check in the hallway and pull in students who are out there.  Teachers close to a bathroom - please get students out of the restroom and bring them in your room.
*Email Lisa, Nathan, Valerie, Andrea, Geanetta and Sonya a list of who you have, who you are missing and who you have that is extra.  

Have a great weekend!

Good Friday afternoon!

Just a few reminders as we close out the first full week of school....

-try to finish assessments (SNAP, Core, STAR, etc) during the next couple of weeks. September 1st is the deadline.

-Mr. Nathan sent an email earlier today with a schedule for Tuesday to bring your class to the cafeteria.  Ms. Geanetta and Ms. Loretta want to go over lunchroom procedures.

-update your grade level morning announcement slides.

-Each homeroom should select two dependable students from each homeroom to come get notes from the front office.  They need to come twice a day - once at lunch and once around 2:15.

-We have set a date of October 13th for our Fall Festival.  We will do baskets to auction as well as homeroom memorabilia.  We will also do the CCES Prince and Princess contest.  Start thinking of ideas for this event...it is our biggest fundraiser of the year.  

-Show on the Road compliance trainings need to be completed by September 1st.  

And this is Karen modeling the way we should all return to school on Tuesday!

Friday Update

Here is a little something...in case you've had a rough first week. LOL

     In all seriousness, it has been a wonderful first couple of days of school.  I really couldn't have asked for a smoother couple of days.  Thank you for working as a TEAM to make it go so well.

     I am going to update this blog on Friday and that will serve as the Friday Focus. Remember to check the blog and Living Calendar EVERY DAY.  

     Reminders:

*Please be conscientious of lunch drop-offs and pick-ups times.  Even being a minute or two off, throws off the entire schedule.

*It is expected that homeroom teachers will walk classes to and from special class.

*Morning assembly will begin on Monday.  The google doc where you enter recognitions is attached to the Living Calendar.  

*Keep reminding students about returning packets and the $15 supply fee. 

*Keep practicing procedures.  Work on your classroom culture until it is what you want!

*No Panther time nor PLC time next week.  We will begin on August 22nd! Go over with students that guidelines for Panther time. Mr. Nathan is bringing posters to every grade level.
