Students and parents, it’s PICTURE TIME at CES! Fall pictures will be made by inVision pix on Friday, September 9th. Here are a few suggestions to make your fall pictures great: ● Wear solid colors. They enhance the facial tones and do not detract from expressions. ● Look for a top that complements your child’s face. ● Clothes that are clean and stain-free. ● The front of your child’s hair should not be “eyelash-brushing long”. ● Neat, shiny hair always looks best. ● Encourage them to let their braces shine and remind them that a gap tooth is beautiful! Mark your calendar for September 9th. We look forward to seeing your child.

Check out these pics from our 3rd grade YGA launch! All 3rd grade content teachers collaborated to host a station rotation genre tasting! Students rotated among their ELA, math, science, and social studies teachers, learned about some different genres of texts, "tasted" (read) some examples, and began collaboratively making notes to help them experiment with writing each genre. Teachers even decorated their rooms to help make this experience EXTRA SPECIAL and memorable for our young writers! We can't wait to see all the great YGA writing ECCSS creates this year! #YGA #ActiveLearning #EngagedWriters #CollaborativeTeams #CES

Please help ECCSS recognize and celebrate the collaborative work of our teams! Yes, we have AWESOME and INSPIRING athletic teams in ECCSS, but did you know we also have equally AWESOME and INSPIRING teacher and staff teams who are committed to continuous improvement in ECCSS? These Tiger Nation teams are “training” and “in the game” to help ALL of us learn and ALL students leave ECCSS ready for college, career, and life! Today, we’d like to showcase the work of our CHS Leadership Team! CHS’s team is collaboratively planning out cycles of practice for all of our CHS Professional Learning Teams (PLTs). All of this work is focused on implementing what CHS learned during their GLISI and PLC conferences last year, and this team is working hard and smart to help all teachers at CHS effectively work in teams to support high levels of learning! We see you, CHS, and we’re thankful for all you’re pouring into growing students and staff in ECCSS! #PLTs #4Cs #CelebrateOurStaff #CHS
