CES Snapshots
Beautiful artwork!!!
Our K-5th grade students are shining on their spring i-Ready assessments! It’s incredible to see the growth they’ve made since the beginning of the year. Pictured are just a few of our hardworking learners, including some lucky prize winners whose tickets were drawn for giving their best effort on the tests. We’re so proud of their dedication and progress! Next week, our 3rd–5th grade students will begin taking their MAP Reading/ELA tests. We know they’ll continue to show what they know and make CES proud!

Way to represent, patriotic Hornets! Your voices proudly honor those who serve.

CES was excited to welcome the Class of 2038 for Kindergarten Orientation!
Our future Hornets explored their new school, met their amazing teachers, and got a sneak peek at all the fun and learning that’s ahead. We can’t wait to watch them grow and shine at CES!
Our 3rd graders are hard at work creating robotic hands! As part of their lesson, they’re learning how tendons and ligaments help our real hands open and close. It’s a hands-on way to explore both science and engineering.
Thank you, Coach Dixon, for always making health and PE lessons come to life in such meaningful and engaging ways!
