We are having a REMOTE LEARNING DAY on Wednesday, November 4! A remote learning day is a day in which students learn from home. This is a way for us to test the systems we have in place, in case we ever need to learn remotely for a period of time. (Snow days may be a thing of the past.) If your student needs to come that day, buses will be running, buildings will be open, and we will have staff to monitor them. Teachers will also be on campus. Breakfast and lunch for all remote students that day may be picked up at the CES cafeteria from 9 am - 10 am. Students on campus will follow a more traditional breakfast and lunch schedule.
