Family Engagement is centered on connecting families to student learning by sharing data, providing strategies to support learning at home, and providing opportunities for two-way communication.

The CES students safety and communication with parents is very important to all of us.  When you speak to your child's teacher, I want you to have their undivided attention.

Student supervision is their main goal during those times.

Simply go to the link below and type in your address. It will tell bus routes, pick-up and drop-off times.
