Getting Ready to Return to CES

BACK TO SCHOOL AT CAMBRIA ELEMENTARY
As summer comes to an end, everyone at Cambria Elementary is preparing to get ready to come back to school. Our faculty has been working hard to ensure that our students have another successful, safe, and enjoyable school year. Throughout the summer, our K-5 classroom teachers have all attended the Institute for Inquiry as a requirement of the Investing in Innovation (i3) grant program. This five day summer training helped prepare our teachers to come back to school with new in-depth skills and strategies related to teaching and learning through inquiry.
When this time of year approaches things can get a little hectic so, here are a few reminders………
☺ Please check your child’s lunch account balance.
☺ A suggested, but not required, student supply list for each grade level is posted on the Cambria Elementary website under the navigation tab on the left.
☺ Students should arrive at school no earlier than 8:20 a.m. Students will not be permitted in their classroom before this time and must wait in the front vestibule until the 8:20 a.m. bell rings.
☺ Classes begin promptly at 9:00 a.m.; however, we ask that students be in their classrooms by 8:45 a.m.
☺ Parents who wish to pick up their child every day must sign a dismissal contract (available in the office). Parents who do not pick up their child on a daily basis must write a note to the teacher in the student planner.
☺ We consider the matter of individual student dress to be the responsibility of the parents. Any type of dress or grooming that is disruptive will not be permitted. Clothing with inappropriate slogans or advertising is not permitted.
☺ Parent pick-up procedures for students at the end of the day will be the same as last year. However, students are encouraged to ride the bus home. Please review the August Chalkboard for details on how to get a green card with your child’s name on it if you need a new one for this school year.
Please enjoy the last few weeks of summer! We will be looking forward to seeing everyone August 30, 2011.

Sincerely,

Dr. Lansberry
