Our Pre-K students participated in Red, White, and Blue day today for Georgia Pre-K Week, AND they enjoyed a special visit from Claxton's own, Payton Biggers, a thirteen-year-old published author!
Payton read her book titled "Autism Gives Me Superpowers" to our Pre-K students, participated in a Q and A session, stayed for a photo-op with our classes, and donated a signed copy of her book to our CES Media Center!
Thanks to Payton and her mom, Michelle Biggers, for spending this time with our youngest Tiger readers and writers today!

Evans County Charter School System (ECCSS) officials are working with Evans County Emergency Management Agency (ECEMA) to closely monitor Hurricane Ian's trajectory and possible impact. The safety of the students, staff, families, and community we serve is our top priority as we make decisions regarding the weather. Currently, the greatest concern is the potential for wind gusts on Thursday that exceed 35 mph which could impede the safe operation of school buses. We will continue monitoring the conditions, so please continue to check our Facebook page or website for updates. The district hopes to announce contingency plans by 12:00 noon on Wednesday, September 28, 2022, if needed.
