There's a lot happening next week! 

To see all the student holidays, staff PD days, and Early Out Wednesdays, check out the 2026-27 Calendar & Calendar Overview on the CFSD website.

During testing week, support your child's success by ensuring they get plenty of rest, eat a good breakfast, arrive on time, read each question carefully, use their scratch paper, and do their best — even when the questions are challenging! Remember: we have been training for this, and now it’s time to run our race! 

Please wear your house colors each Wednesday. 

Breakfast begins at 7:20 AM. Students should arrive to school by 7:45 AM to allow plenty of time to travel to class before the first bell rings at 7:55 AM. Please arrive on time and ready to learn!

Afternoon dismissal begins at 3:30 PM. Families, please remind your student to go to the appropriate location during afternoon car and bus dismissal. To ensure everyone leaves using the correct method home, students must all be in the right place.
