Dear Parents and Guardians of CES Students,
Out of an abundance of caution and at the request of local law enforcement, Confidence Elementary was placed in secure status at approximately 1:55 p.m. today due to an incident happening outside of the building and miles down the road. The secure status lasted about 15 minutes. All school operations have now returned to normal.
What is the Secure Action?
The Secure Action is called when there is a threat or hazard outside of the school building. Secure uses the security of the physical facility to act as protection. During Secure, all students and staff are brought into the secure building and all doors are locked.
Tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 5, is the first Choir Club practice after school. Students in fourth and fifth grade who are interested in joining will stay after school until 3:45. Parents, please stay in your vehicles in front of the school and Mr. Lyon and Mrs. Good will send them out to you when practice ends. Students must have a permission slip signed and turned in to be allowed to stay tomorrow. Have a great evening!
Hello! We have 19 students in kindergarten through fifth grade who have not submitted the student information forms from the link or QR code sent from school. Please take care of this today if you can. If you need assistance, please call the school. Pre-K families, we will also be asking you to complete this. The link is on www.putnamschools.com site. It says PCS Student Information Packet. You can use the QR code or the link. Make sure you hit submit at the end. Thanks, and have a good evening!
Reminder: Picture day tomorrow, Aug. 28, for all K-5 students...
You can pre-pay or wait until your proofs come back to order. To order online, go to mylifetouch.com, student and picture day ID is EVTKGX9PH. You can also put cash or checks to Lifetouch in the envelope sent home previously to order. Have a great evening!
Open House is this evening at Confidence Elementary School! Our doors will open at 5:30. Drop by between 5:30-7:30 to meet the teachers, buy a yearbook (they just came in- $22 cash in correct change or check to CES), talk with bus drivers, sign up to be a volunteer, and get a snow cone as you leave! We cannot wait to see you all!
Open House is on August 20, between 5:30 and 7:30. Drop in anytime in that window to meet the teachers and staff and tour the school. Bus drivers will be set up in our cafeteria for any questions about times or routes that you may have. Volunteer coordinators will also be in the cafeteria with sign-up sheets for volunteer opportunities this year, including interest in being a homeroom parent. We will have school supplies in the library that are for any student who may need them. We will have some backpacks, binders, and all of the usual items. If you already have your school supplies, you can bring them and drop them off (not mandatory). If you have any student medications to be administered at school, you can take them to Mrs. Angie in the office if you have the doctor required forms ready (HS-18). We will have snow cones for all as you leave Open House! The first day for students in K-5 is August 22. Our doors will open at 7:00 am and the tardy bell will ring at 7:30 this year. Pre-K's first day of school is on Sept. 3. If you have questions, you can email me at kbarker@k12.wv.us. I hope to see everyone on Tuesday if you can make it because it makes for a much smoother transition for students to start comfortably if they have attended Open House. Thanks and have a great day!
Mr. Lyon needs all choir students to return their sheet music. He has not received it back from most students. please send it back tomorrow with your child or drop it off to Angie at the front office. Thank you!
Good afternoon!
This is just a reminder that our fifth graders need to arrive at school at the cafeteria side circle at 5:30 in the morning for our zoo trip. Students can enter the building and have a seat at tables for an attendance check and restroom break before we depart at 6:00 promptly. School is on a usual schedule tomorrow for everyone else. Tuesday is our last day of the year, and it is a 3 hour early dismissal. Students will depart at 11:25. Report cards will be at school tomorrow arou d 9:30 a.m. We do not mail report cards, so if you don't come to school, you will need to pick them up from the Board of Education in Winfield after June 12th. It is best to come to school and collect all personal items. Thank you for a wonderful school year! We hope that everyone has a fantastic and safe summer break!
