Expectations revisited:
Expectations:
- Love kids
- Love what you do
- Be a team player
- Be a Leader
- Love kids - Do your students know you love them? Do your parents know you love their children? We are given a great responsibility each and every day. Tell them you love them and then show them you love them by your actions.
- Love what you do - Is it evident you love what you do? When your students go home each day - how do they describe you to their parents? How do your co-workers describe you to their family? When we come to school each day....show everyone around you how much you love what you do by how you do it.
- Be a team player - How well do you work with your team? Collaborate with each other on a daily / weekly basis. Fill each other's buckets. Be there for each other and encourage each other.
- Be a Leader - We are all Leaders @ CES. Each of us lead in our own different ways. Be a Leader and mentor each other and mentor our students. Teach the habits! Make the 7 Habits language a part of your everyday language. Be Proactive!

Afternoon Dismissal
We have had very few issues with our afternoon dismissal procedures. Thank you so much for taking care of our kids every day.
**Remember: When you have a student do something different than they normally do make sure they have a note from their parent. If you have any doubt - please call a parent to double check.
CLOCKS!
Clocks should be fixed! Thank you Mr. Steve Wallace! We have had parts on order for a long time and they had to replace the system board. We also have replacement clocks for ones broken. :)

Drills - we will have Fire / Weather / Lockdown Drills this week on Wednesday. Make sure you practice your drills or talk to your students about what to do. The lockdown on Wednesday will be a hard lockdown.
Remember - Next Monday is Labor Day! Take a well needed day off! :)
p. 15 - "And you'll never find your purpose if you don't open your eyes. It's amazing how many people go through life with their eyes closed. They allow fear to blind them, and they miss all the miracles, beauty, and opportunities around them."
Keep your eyes open this week! :)
We will be passing "The Seed" out soon.......
HAVE A GREAT WEEK!
