Tonight is opening night for "Matilda, Jr."! The CES Drama Cats have worked hard to put on an amazing show that you won't want to miss. Admission is free and concessions will be available to purchase.


Mrs. B Jones's 6th grade science students recently participated in a Regional STEM Challenge. The students were tasked with creating an AI generated image that represented what STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Art and Mathematics) in education looks like to them. Both of our groups that submitted images won and were awarded a poster printer. Please take a look at the images created by our students. Great job!

The survey is a research-based school improvement system that defines, measures, and utilizes the most important organizational conditions, including aspects of a school’s culture and climate, to improve student outcomes.
By taking this survey, you will help the district improve attendance rates, testing grades, increase our knowledge of safety, and more. Please take a few minutes to help CES be the best we can be!


The Drama Cats are excited to announce their upcoming performances. We hope to see you there!
