Did you know that as many as one in three students in the country misses 10%, or about 18 days, of the school year? This September, join with us to celebrate the Attendance Awareness Campaign. We’re working together to make sure all kids show up and participate every day possible. Being in school supports students’ social, emotional and physical well-being, and provides students with opportunities to learn and reach for their dreams. Let’s show up together and get back into the habit of daily attendance!
Congratulations to this week's “Tell Me Something Good” drawing winner Ms. Caroline Uzzolino from Cottageville Elementary School.
Ms. Uzzolino shared, "I am so thankful to work with such wonderful staff and students at CES. I am so excited to be here every single day. "
Congratulations to Ms. Uzzolino and keep up the great work!
