Last Principal's Message for 2009-2010

Dear Parents,
It’s hard to believe that this school year is coming to an end. I enjoyed having had the privilege of being with your children for the 2009-2010 school year. It’s amazing how fast they grow. Especially those Kindergarteners. I am reminded of how new and fresh and small they are when they come in for their visits each Spring. The transformation is astonishing. I want to thank each of you personally for allowing me to be a part of your child’s life while they are in our school.
Your child’s 4th quarter report cards will not be sent home on the last day of school. We at CES are trying to show our students that school is important and needs to be taken seriously right up to the last day. As part of this process we will not finish grading till the last day of school which is the 4th of June. Our teachers will have till the following Monday to get their grades turned in, so they can be mailed. I am sure all of you can understand the importance of working right up till the end and receiving your report card a few days later is a small price to pay for learning a lifelong skill.
The Central Elementary School PST would like to thank everyone for participating in this years fundraiser, helping out with the teacher meals and for helping with the carnival. Once again the hard work of our students and the dedication of the parents showed through with a great overall sale.
And continued support.
Our last day of school is June 4th. Students will be dismissed at their regular scheduled time, which is 2:50 p.m.
Again, thanks for a great year and I look forward to seeing all of the smiling faces of our students in the Fall. In the mean time have a great summer, relax, and enjoy being off. Remember to exercise your body and your mind equally for continued growth.
