Weekly Newsletter 9/6/2018

Dear Cedar Creek Families,

We hope you had a wonderful three-day weekend with your family! We have had another fantastic week at CCE!

Thank you to everyone who walked to school on Wednesday; we want to keep this CCE tradition going on the first Wednesday of the month. We are also excited to extend this on Friday, and will continue to do so for the first Friday of each month. The CCE Student Council has named this "First Fun Friday," and we encourage you to walk or bike to school and join us for the school-wide assembly in the cafeteria from 7:40-8:00AM. Tomorrow is "wear your favorite sport shirt" to school day! Booster Club would also like to invite you to "Coffee and Community" after the assembly under the car pick-up awning!

We enjoy having parents visiting at lunch, just a reminder to:

check in at the front office and get a visitor badge through the Raptor system
only bring food for your own child(ren)
remember to say your goodbye at the cafeteria as we do not allow visitors on the playground for safety reasons

Here are some upcoming dates:

Friday, September 7

International Day will be on Friday, September 28! We will have a school-wide assembly from 7:40-8:20AM, and many fun activities throughout the day to celebrate the many different countries represented at CCE! NEW THIS YEAR –in the interest of safety with the many allergies we have at CCE, we will not be accepting food items at school. Instead, we are asking students to continue the tradition of dressing up to express different cultures (no masks, no weapons, etc., please follow dress code for school). We are looking forward to having Geography lessons, country boards as in the past, and currency!

School entry

School starts at 7:40AM, so we recommend you have your child(ren) at school by 7:35AM. The school doors lock at 7:40, and students are tardy after 7:40AM. If a student arrives after 7:40AM, he or she will have to be buzzed in through the front office. We do not want students to miss out on Morning Meetings, which start in the classroom just after 7:40AM. All students will enter the building through the front doors or the side cafeteria door by the parking lot. Also, remember to allow us to see your face when you buzz in, that would be helpful.

Destination Imagination – please see attached flier for information.

Cheer Clinic Coming Up – The WHS Chaps Cheer Spirit Clinic will be Saturday, October 20. Please see attached flier for more information.

It really has been another wonderful week at CCE! We are excited to see everyone tomorrow morning for Friday Assembly at 7:40AM! Please don't hesitate to reach out if you have questions, concerns or want to celebrate a bright spot on our campus!

See you at school soon!

Susan Fambrough, Principal
