Middle School Diversity Awareness

On the early release day on October 23, 2025 Grade 6 students were invited to take a walk in someone else’s shoes as they rotated through various classroom spaces for the morning.  Students in sessions hosted by special education teachers and counselors learned what it was like to live with disabilities ranging from blindness, deaf and hard of hearing and physical impairments to dyslexia, autism and ADHD. We believe increasing awareness through these experiences help to make our school environment a more inclusive space for all students.

Anti-Bullying Lessons at CES

Our Fall Bullying Prevention School wide lessons took place on October 9. Counselors, teachers and building administrators partnered together to read a book, co-teach the lesson and support the students as we discussed how we can all work together to reduce bullying behaviors in our school. Student showed high interest in the topic and their participation during the lesson was strong. We encourage you to talk with your children at home about what they learned at school. Asking them questions about the books: The Pout-Pout Fish and Bully, Bully Shark (Grades K-3 and Weird, A Story about Dealing with Bullying Grades 4 -5) is a great way to start the dialogue. We are intentional about supporting our students to reduce bullying behaviors, increase a positive school climate, build student resiliency and promote positive social skills.
