Good evening, CES Parents! I just wanted to inform you that tomorrow, 08/31, our CES faculty and staff will be leading our students in one of our safety drills. The safety drill that we will be focused on is our LOCKDOWN drill. This is a drill that we practice to insure that our staff and students know what to do if there ever were an actual threat to our campus. Access to our front office will be interrupted during our drill as all staff and students will be participating in the drill. We anticipate this being a brief interruption and appreciate your patience. - Dr. Wes Brown, CES Principal
