Fall Break Nov. 10-12
Fall break will proceed as scheduled. After careful consideration, CBE decided that changing the school calendar at this time would impact staffing, transportation, as well as family plans already in place. If other adjustments to the school calendar are necessary, families will be notified as early as possible.
IPP’s
CBE has extended the IPP timeline to allow time for teachers to re-affirm student needs and goals and communicate with families. Teachers will be in touch with families during the week of November 24th to discuss the IPP.
School Photo Day
We have re-scheduled our Lifetouch Photo Day for November 19th, this will be for individual and class pictures too. The retakes will be on December 10th. Don’t forget your bright smiles and brush your hair!
