Cordelia Hills Elementary

Hi everyone, Tomorrow is the final day of school for all FSUSD elementary schools. School is released at 2:33 here at CHE. School will resume on Tuesday, January 3, 2017. Enjoy the Winter Break and Happy Holidays!

Every year, Cordelia Hills nominates and then votes for a Teacher of the Year. This school year, five different teachers were nominated for the honor. This year, our Teacher of the Year is Ms. Courtney Spence, kindergarten teacher. We are proud of our selection and her fantastic work serving our students and community. Ms. Spence has now been forwarded to the District level for District wide consideration.

The December 15th ELAC meeting has been rescheduled to allow for a orientation for our new TK class. The English Language Advisory Council will now meet on January 26th at 3:15 p.m.

Our students and staff are so terrific and they do so many wonderful things for our community every day. Just some highlights from the last week: 1. Cards for Troops: Several of our students have written holiday cards and notes that they are sending overseas to those armed services members who are far away for the holidays. The notes are personal and well-written. 2. Sock Drive: So many students (and families) have brought in new, unopened packages of socks to donate to those in need this holiday season. We are continuing to accept socks thru Thursday and we definitely appreciate the giving by our students so far. 3. Pledge: Every morning, I read the Pledge of Allegiance and every morning I look across the quad and I can see a group of students who stop on the way to a support class. They stop (without adult prompting) and join in the pledge. They are showing respect not because someone asked or told them to show it but instead because they want to show it. Great job to our stude

Good morning CHE! I hope all is well this wonderful Monday morning. A few updates as we near the winter break. School is in session thru Friday, 12/16. That day is a normal schedule day. We return to school on Tuesday, January 3rd. 1. Attendance:  Winter Attendance is so important. Please make sure your student is coming to school everyday. If they must miss, please communicate with the school about the reason for the absence. Our attendance rate is slightly down this year at just over 97.5%. Our goal is to reach 98%, making us one of the top attended schools in FSUSD. We can make it happen! 2. Winter Music Show: Select FSUSD Elementary schools will be holding a Winter Concert tomorrow, 12/6 at the Kroc Center starting at 5 p.m.. 3rd students are invited to attend to play in the song flute ensemble. Also, first grade students and choir students are invited also.  The chorus students and 1st grade students involved need to be at the Kroc Center by 4:30  and the 3rd grade students ne
