Did you know that 33% of our students surveyed stated that they do NOT read at home? Help us change that over the next two weeks! CES is currently participating in AR Reads, a state-wide reading initiative in which all participating schools across the state read the same book! We introduced the book on Friday and the official kick-off was Monday. A reading schedule was also sent home. Over the last 3 days, less than 45% of our students stated that they read their chapters at home. Please encourage your child to to read by having your child read to you, you read to your child, or you read with your child. Our goal is to have more than 50% of students reading at home and we know you can help us make that happen! Tonight, we will read chapters 12-14. If you need a schedule, please Dojo your child's teacher. One is also posted on the CES Facebook page, along with parent trivia questions! February perfect attendance information is also posted! 34% of our students had perfect attendance during the month of February! Our goal for this is also 50%. Please help us by making your child is here on time and stays at school all day. Happy reading and we hope you enjoy J.D. and The Great Barber Battle as much as we do!
