Calhoun City Schools is fortunate to have a School Resource Officer in each building. Captain Harris Housley serves the CELA and when he isn't busy capturing the hearts of our students, he is busy maintaining the safety of our staff and students.
Thank you Captain Housley!
The Teal Turtles read "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" this week & the students practiced writing their names & counting out how many letters they had in their name!
Kindergarten Specials will begin the week of August 26th.
Brown Bears have been so excited to explore all of our centers and this week were able to open up the Housekeeping/Dramatic Play center, as well as the Science Center. Center time is a crucial part of our Bright from the Start curriculum and allows students to work cooperatively while learning to solve problems independently, as well as employ creative thinking and play.
Laney Chapman, Maddox McArthur and Adrian Hinojosa explore the Science Center.
The Koala students enjoyed our weekly theme pack “All About Me”! They loved making their picture frames with craft sticks and pom poms!
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is a way for schools to set expectations for behavior with the focus and accountability on student management.
At the CELA, our students are encouraged to Be Your Best! That means you know how to
Be Kind
Show Good Listening
Have a Calm Body
Each class is currently working towards their first PBIS reward. Classes get to vote on their reward like wearing crazy socks, bringing a stuffy, or class dance party!
Please continue to send a complete change of clothing with your child in case of emergency in a labeled ziplock bag.
We accept donations of gently used clothing and shoes in our clothing closet. Underwear and socks are also greatly appreciated but must be new in the package. Donations can be dropped off in the front office. Email our Family Engagement Coordinator, Brenda Timms, with questions or for more information.
Every Friday we will celebrate our Calhoun Yellow Jackets with Spirit shirts and black and gold. Email PTO to purchase shirts or for these adorable signs or fill out the order form coming home this week.
