Good morning, CES Parents! We will have our beginning of the year Parent Orientation on Monday, 08/28, 5-6:30PM. We will begin with a campus Title1/Informational meeting in the CES cafeteria and then break into grade level sessions (5:25-5:55 and 6-6:30) allowing parents to attend multiple grade level meetings. This will be a time to learn about grade level expectations and protocols. We look forward to seeing you all there!

STAAR scores for grades 3-8 are now available within the Parent Portal. https://portals12.ascendertx.com/ParentPortal/login?distid=018901

Thanks to all our CES parents, students and staff for making our first day of school a GREAT DAY! From this morning when parents dropped students off at their classrooms, through the establishing of classroom expectations, routines, and protocols, and even some actual content by our classroom teachers and staff, it was a GREAT day! As we implement new systems and get things going there will be kinks to work out, but they will be worked out and adjusted as we go. Thanks for everyone's kindness and patience. It is always appreciated! What a blessing it is to have the opportunity to do it all again and even try to do it better!
