CES Picture Day is Tuesday, August 13! All students will have their picture taken for the yearbook. Softball and Baseball will have a team picture and individuals taken.

As we enter into another school year, we would like to send out a few reminders:
-Drop-off procedures are the same as what we implemented in the spring. Please help us keep the line moving by having your student prepared to exit the vehicle in a timely manner.
See the attached pictures for details.
-Students are allowed to enter the building starting at 7:30 AM. At 8:01 AM, students will be considered tardy and need to check in at the main office.
We are excited to see our Bearcats back in the building!
