Look who guessed a number close to the actual number of candy in the jar….Pamela Bradley, one of CSE’s problem solvers! Ms. Bradley is our 4th grade math teacher. In addition to winning the jar of candy, she received an ample bag of goodies-all provided by Mr. Porchia! Again, we would like to thank Mr. Porchia for providing this fun activity for the staff at CSE. We look forward to the next winner!

Hello families! Report cards went out today. Please check your child’s backpack.

Hello families! Please join us for Math Night on Tuesday, March 29, 2022 from 5:00-6:30. We hope you will be able to join us!

Carroll Smith would like to recognize the “Star Staff” for the month of February. On the left is Coach Deontae Mitchell. This is his first year as a PE teacher and football coach. Coach Mitchell, ALWAYS has a smile on his face and has a positive attitude. He really has a sincere love for our students❣️Many may not be aware but he really takes time to listen to students to get an understanding behind their thoughts/feelings. I appreciate Coach Mitchell’s positive energy and his willingness to always help.🌟
On the right is Joe Porchia, one of CSE’s paraprofessionals. Mr. Porchia mostly assists Coach Mitchell. He also works in other classrooms assisting teachers, ensuring students get food bags, as well treat gifts and hugs to encourage/motivate students to feel and do better. Not only does he give special gifts to students, he also gives treat gifts/encouraging hugs to staff.
As like with any new beginnings, there comes adjustments and some rocky roads. But when you truly can get to the point where you understand the purpose of working together to better serve our kiddos to help them by us working well together, there really is no limit to what we can do as a team. Coach Mitchell and Mr. Porchia, thank you. I look forward to what lies ahead.🌟

Thank you for your patience and understanding

Hello families! As you all know, Valentine’s Day is Monday and we look forward to students exchanging Valentine cards/candy during their party. I know many of you would like to send gifts in the form of stuffed animals and balloons. However, gifts will not be allowed to be delivered or brought to school. This decision is based on students getting on the bus with some gift items that might interfere with the driver’s view. Also, we don’t want any students to lose or damage their gift on the bus. Yes, I realize that all students don’t ride the bus but this decision is for all students regardless of their mode of transportation. We do hope you understand.
