For those students attending summer school or Camp Invention at CES, please use the bus parking lot (closest to the football field) and Door 2 for entering and leaving the building for the remainder of the week as construction on the awning in front of Door 1 will be taking place. Apologies for the late change and your staying patient with us during the final stages of construction.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the CES Field Day a great experience! Thank you PTO Officers for coordinating the event, thank you volunteers for helping to keep our events safe, and thank you teachers for making the event memorable for your students! Rest up, tomorrow we put a bow on the 25/26 school year!

CES Field Day will go as planned on Wednesday, May 27. The rain appears to be holding off until late in the afternoon. We will not go outside in pouring rain or if thunder/lightning are in the immediate area. We will be monitoring the weather situation closely, but we do not want to cancel the day's events preemptively as the students are looking forward to wrapping up their school year with this annual tradition and the PTO has worked tirelessly to put on the event for our students.

Please make sure your student has a towel and a change of clothes as the Fire Department will be spraying students and there will be a foam machine. The Office will not have extra towels and changes of clothing for our 600+ students.

If you have been accepted as a chaperone please plan on the event, although if we do have to change plans to an inside activity, we will not need any chaperones.

-Mr. Ferriell
