From the Principals Desk for the week of 1/8/20

Happy Holidays CES families & friends

We hope you’ve enjoyed your Christmas and New Year’s celebrations.

Homework club cancelled

Unfortunately, we have to suspend our homework club at this time. We do not have the staffing available and not all of our students were benefiting from the experience. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Speaking of Elks!

A big shout out to our supportive Lake Almanor Elks Lodge friends! They sponsored over 40 children from Chester and Westwood for Christmas this year! Thank you Elks Lodge!

Warm Clothing Drive

Jackets, gloves, snow pants, etc. have been collected and families are welcome to pick up any needed items Wednesday, Jan. 8, from 2:30-4 p.m. Please contact our Student Services Coordinator, Ms. Angie Moreau, if you have any questions.

New Year’s Resolutions and healthy lifestyles

We typically make some New Year’s resolutions for a more productive and healthy year. You may want to encourage your child to identify some New Year’s resolutions to include a more productive and healthy life, including less screen time, more reading, more activities or something else?

My recent studies on the negative impacts of excessive screen time (computers, tablets, phone, TV) is alarming and concerning. Thanks for considering!

In closing, we appreciate your ongoing support and teaming with us to make 2019-2020 an exceptional elementary experience for our students. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thanks!
