Thanks for helping your child participate in the CCIS PTA fundraiser. We had a great turnout today. Orders will be accepted tomorrow, October 14th, as well.
Our next EARLY RELEASE (at 1:50) will be Wednesday, Ocotber 27th.
By the way, if your child is missing a coat, it is probably on hanging on the rack on the stage. Please remind your child to pick up their jackets before school or during lunch.

Students are encouraged to do their very best on each of these tests. Students need to work carefully, check their work, read, read, and reread! These exams are not timed. Students will have all of the time they need to complete the exam even if they need to stay after school. Parents of students who are working after 3:50 will get a phone call from the school.
We should get the results for these exams two to three weeks after the exam.

We appreciate all of the parental support in getting students to school on time, prepared, and ready to learn!

We had beautiful, fluffy snowflakes at our school on Tuesday,

February 23rd. The students were very excited to see snow

in our area of Texas. The snow did not last long, and we were

able to come to school the next day. We are glad that we did

not have to miss a day of school.
