CHE Weekly Family Update for August 18

By -

Welcome Back!

It was a fantastic first week! Staff was so excited to have our amazing students back on campus and we are so happy to welcome all of the new Coyotes. A preview of this weeks update includes: a reminder on new morning procedures, eclipse information, reminders about nutrition and forms, and upcoming dates and events. Thanks again for being an amazing school community and as always feel free to email or stop by to talk!

1. Morning Routine: Many of you have emailed about changes to the morning routine. While the changes do present some difficulty for parents, we believe they are in the best interest of our students. I want to recap the changes below so everyone is clear on what they are:

A. The front roll up gate and back gate open between 8:10-8:15. This gives students just enough time to hang up back packs and report to morning PE or classrooms (TK/K only). This reduces the amount of unsupervised/less supervised time students are on campus. This time was our highest discipline time for the last year and the year before. 

B. The red door opens at approximately 7:55 for those eating breakfast/going to the library. Students are to report directly to breakfast and library and are to remain in those areas until they are dismissed to morning/class.

C. Students are allowed to walk bikes/skateboards/scooters thru the main gate or back gate and can drop those off in the bike lock area located near the kinder yard. 

2. Solar Eclipse: The solar eclipse is slated to take place on Monday, with some of it taking place during morning recess. Classes are doing a wide range of activities (some doing projects, some watching inside on TV, some using glasses). I have asked teachers to show this video and encourage you to talk about it with their children: Eclipse Eyeball Safety

3. Nutrition and snack policy: Please read this important update on snacks, parties, and nutrition at Cordelia Hills. Please support the policy. Nutrition/Food Policy


Back to school night is coming up on Tuesday, August 29th at 6:00 p.m. We encourage ALL parents to attend the event. We will start in the MPR at 6:00 p.m.!
