    CES Families and Friends,

    I’m writing to update you about our field days for kindergarten and grades 1-3.  With the inclement weather forecasted for the rest of the week, we wanted to get a plan in place so that our student can have the full field day experience.  Please see the following plan below:

      • Grades 2 and 3 – 10:00-12:00 
      • Grade 1 – 1:15-3:00
    • Should Field Days be canceled on Wednesday and Thursday:
      • The decision will be made by 1:00 on the previous day
        • Teachers will be given the notification and will send an email home
      • Kindergarten will be moved to May 21st
        • AM K & EDK (E) – 9:30-11:00

    I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.  We want to ensure that our students get their full Field Day experience without having to do it inside.  Again, should you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

    Thank you!
