Student Messages

Please be aware that we call students to the office for messages / pick-up of items at locker break (9:56 AM), at lunchtime (11:29 AM), and after school (3:10 PM). It is up to students to listen for those announcements and make their way to the office when called. Our secretaries endeavor not to disrupt school proceedings outside of these times. We ask for parent support in ensuring that students have what they need for school and ensuring students know when to come to the office if they are leaving early.

Please notify the school office immediately with any changes of address, telephone numbers (home, business and/or cell), email address or emergency contact numbers.

Concerns & Complaints

We know that the success of your student is dependent on a strong partnership between families and the CBE. If you have a concern, it can usually be addressed at the classroom level. Your first step is to arrange to speak privately with your child’s teacher. If you feel your issue is still unresolved, please contact your principal. If you and the school are unable to find a resolution, please see our Concerns & Complaints​ page for additional information, including the process to contact your Area Director. ​​​​
