Principal's message

November is a wonderful time to reflect on the many things we have to be thankful for at CSE. I am especially grateful for our dedicated teachers, hardworking students and supportive families who make our school community so special.

As we continue through the second quarter, our students are building new skills, strengthening their confidence and working toward their academic goals. Your involvement makes a difference! Whether you’re helping with homework, encouraging daily attendance or staying connected with your child’s teacher, your support plays an important role in their success.

This month, we also have an opportunity to show kindness and generosity through our annual Canned Food Drive. Thank you for helping us teach our students the importance of giving back to others.

Wishing all of our CSE families a happy and restful Thanksgiving!

Dr. Washington

NEWS TO NOTE

CANNED FOOD DRIVE

NOW THROUGH NOVEMBER 13

Help us make a difference this holiday season! CSE’s annual Canned Food Drive is underway, and we’re encouraging all families to participate by sending in canned food donations. To make things even more fun, we’re having a friendly competition! The class that collects the most canned goods will win a pizza party!

Every donation counts, and together we can help make the holiday season a little brighter for families in need.

Thank you for helping our CSE students learn the importance of kindness, generosity and giving back!

CURRICULUM CORNER

AT HOME WITH i-READY

i-Ready helps students strengthen skills through practice tailored to their learning needs. Encourage your child to use i-Ready at home to reinforce classroom learning. Contact your child's teacher for login information.

CHARACTER TRAIT: GENEROSITY

Students are learning that generosity means willingly sharing their time, talents and resources to help others. Through acts of kindness and giving, they discover how even small gestures can make a difference.

READING TOGETHER

Reading together for just 15 minutes a day can help children build vocabulary, comprehension and confidence. Ask your child questions about the story and encourage them to share their favorite parts.

MATH IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Everyday activities offer opportunities to practice math! Invite your child to measure ingredients while cooking, count change at the store or compare prices while shopping. These simple activities help build real-world math skills.

ATTENDANCE

Every school day counts! Regular, on-time attendance helps students stay connected to classroom learning and build the consistency they need to succeed.

Please help your child arrive on time and attend school each day. Students arriving after 8:30 a.m. are tardy and must be signed in through the Front Office. Please notify the office of absences and reserve early pick-ups for emergencies and medical appointments.

STAY CONNECTED

Stay involved in your child's education by checking ClassDojo for classroom updates, reviewing grades and progress in FOCUS, and keeping in touch with your child's teacher.

Take a few minutes each week to review assignments, discuss upcoming activities and ask your child what they're learning. If you have questions or concerns about their progress, don't hesitate to reach out.
