CHE Update

NOTIFICATION of SCHEDULED WORK in Cordelia The City of Fairfield is going to be working on many of the surface streets in the wider Cordelia area. Based on the specific notices and visits we've received from the city, we expect the work to be disruptive to traffic flow around the school site over the course of the next several weeks. We will do our best to facilitate traffic flow and to make sure parents have access to the site during those important drop off and pick up times but based on the experience of other schools, it is very likely that some days will be especially difficult with traffic flow. Thanks for your patience! 5th Grade Slideshow : We are preparing a 5th grade slideshow for the end of the year farewell.  The slideshow will include photos of our fifth graders engaged in school activities or local community activities over the last 6 years at Cordelia Hills. We are looking photos that have two or more of our students in them. If you have photos to share, p

CAASPP Testing has arrived and our students are already shining! 3rd grade is underway this week. The test will continue over the next few weeks for all students in grades 3-5. Thanks for your support and encouragement! Upcoming Paving in CHE/GVMS areas :The City of Fairfield has alerted us to an upcoming paving project that will impact the areas around CHE and GVMS over the next several months. The informational letter they sent us (and hopefully to you) is here . While we hope that the paving doesn't happen during drop off and pick-up, based on the recent experiences of other schools, I suspect we will have some work during those busy times.  TAP Programs : Cordelia Hills is proud to welcome four new classes to our campus for next school year. Transitional Academic Program, or TAP, is coming to our campus from Nelda Mundy. The program serves students with disabilities across several grade spans. We are so excited to have these students here as Coyotes and look forwa

Shout Out   to the PTA and to all of the volunteers for setting up and running our Book Fair last week. The work of our volunteers can never be thanked enough.

One more week and third grade will be underway. We are looking forward to seeing the fruits of our labor and we believe every kid is going to do well and surpass the personal goals they've set! I don't want to get ahead of ourselves but I am thinking a bravo! is in order for all of the success we have coming our way.

CAASPP Testing : CAASPP testing season is nearly here. Cordelia Hills will start the week of April 23. WE really need all 3rd-5th graders here for testing. Please avoid planning appointments and days off during this period. Students completing making the test up have shown that they typically don't perform as well on the assessment. We are so going to rock this assessment and can't wait to show the world the awesome work we've been doing! Book Fair : The book fair is coming up and we need help in making this event happen. The Buy One, Get One Book Fair is this Thursday, April 12 from 2:30-8:00 in the MPR.
