Student-Led Open House – as this is an Open House, families do not need to register to attend.  
Our Student-Led Open House will be an opportunity for students to take the lead on sharing evidence of their learning, sharing their areas of strength and accomplishments, discussing next steps and setting their own learning targets.  It will be held on January 23, 2025 from 4:00pm – 5:30pm. 

As this is an Open House, you are able to attend at anytime between 4:00pm - 5:30pm. Your time at the school can take anywhere from 15 – 30 minutes.  It is an important time to spend with your child.  The teacher will be there to celebrate your child’s learning.  Teachers will not be able to have individual conversations with parents/guardians regarding their child’s progress during this time.  We look forward to seeing you! 

The first report card will be posted on your child’s MyCBE/PowerSchool account on January 30, 2025. 

Exciting News: Rescheduled Alien In-line Days 
​​​​​​​We’re thrilled to announce that the cancelled Alien In-line skating days have been rescheduled for January 6, 7, and 8! Instructor Ashley was absolutely amazing during her sessions, and we’re so excited to have her back to inspire and teach our students in the new year. 

Your child’s teacher will be reaching out soon with information about volunteering opportunities. Thank you for your understanding, and we can’t wait to see everyone skating again soon!
