Important Info

Transportation Changes – Bus and Gate Passes

We would like to remind our ES/PS community of our policy of no transportation changes after 11:00 AM. This policy exists to ensure child safety. Calls that come in with transportation changes later in the day can result in confusion for the child and the teacher and potentially lead to students accidentally going home the wrong way. The only exception to this policy will be last minute doctor appointments or plan changes that result in a child going home as usual (such as a cancelled playdate or activity).

Sick Students

We understand that you want the best for your children's education, and we share that commitment. However, it is crucial that we all play a role in maintaining a safe learning environment, especially when it comes to the health of our students. By keeping sick students at home, you not only protect their health but also prevent the potential spread of illnesses to other students and school staff. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy learning environment for everyone, and your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Please take a look at CNG´s guidelines for keeping sick children home from school:

Friendship Challenge

Our Friendship challenge continues! We are encouraging students to invite other PS students they have never invited before. They can take pictures and share them with their teachers. We will share them in the Theater during our next Award's Assembly.

Parenting with Love & Logic

Dear CNG ES and PS Families,

We are excited to share that we will once again be offering the parenting series “Parenting with Love and Logic”, which will begin in the end of February. Attached here is the flyer. Last year we had over 100 participants and had a great time learning together, laughing a lot and enjoying our personal journey as parents. If you took the course last year, the materials will be the same, but the conversation changes every year. Many parents take the course more than once and we’d love to have you back! If you are interested in signing up, please follow this link to complete a quick registration form. Space will be limited, so be sure to sign up soon. In the meantime, if you'd like to learn more about Love and Logic, you can visit their website at www.loveandlogic.com. It is full of helpful resources, ideas and videos.

In Partnership,

Ron Sisson, ES Principal

After School Activities

We want to ensure a safe and supervised environment for all students after school. Therefore, we kindly request your cooperation in the following matters:

No unsupervised after-school stay: Please make sure your child does not stay on school grounds after dismissal unless they are signed up for an official after-school activity.

Organized play dates: If your child has a play date after school, please arrange for pick-up or drop-off at their scheduled dismissal time. This ensures they leave safely and don't wait unsupervised on school premises.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation. It helps us maintain a safe and secure environment for all students.

After School Activities Pick-up

Dear Parents,

Please be aware of the following guidelines to facilitate your child's pick-up through the main gate.

If you pick up your child by walking every day, you must enter/pass through the turnstiles, locate your child, and exit with them, presenting the permanent pass ( attached photo).

If you do not have the permanent pass, please request one at the primary office before 11:00 a.m., providing the information of the person picking up your child.

If you pick up your child by car every day, you should do the car entrance line, and if possible, bring a letter-sized printout with your child's name and grade and place it on the windshield of your car to facilitate the calling of your child by the security officer's radio.

Upon receiving your child, you must present the permanent gate pass; this will serve as a double verification for security.

We appreciate your cooperation with this request, which will streamline logistics for everyone.
