🌟 Thank You, CSPES Families! 🌟
We are so grateful for your positive energy, patience, and partnership as we embark on this new school year together. 🐯 The first few weeks always come with a few “kinks” to work out, and it takes time to get all the moving parts running smoothly.
Right now, our team is diligently working to:
✔️ Ensure every student has a device that is connected to the network
✔️ Distribute loaned devices
✔️ Schedule requested meetings within mandated timelines
✔️ Support students and families in learning arrival and dismissal routines
✔️ Process new enrollments
✔️ Respond to troubleshooting requests
✔️ Establish productive routines and procedures for the purpose high quality instruction you are accustomed to.
✔️ And much more!
Because of the higher-than-normal volume of requests at the start of the year, please know you may experience longer response times for non-urgent matters. Delays do not mean your concern is unimportant—your child’s success and well-being remain our top priority.
Tomorrow marks Day 3 of the new year, and we are excited to welcome the first group of our kindergarten students into the building! 🎉 Thank you again for your continued patience, understanding, and support as we move forward together.
We couldn’t do this without you. 🧡

Our students at CSPES would love some recess equipment (balls, jump ropes, etc). We would gladly accept donations, or you can also purchase on our wishlist https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/204K1JUSN1S0T?ref_=wl_share
