There is no school on Wednesday, September 13 for elementary students. CDS does not offer child care for students on days when regular classes are not held.
Appointments have been set for parents to meet with their children's teachers. Grades 1 - 4 will have student-led conferences. If parents are unavailable on September 13, they are welcome to contact their child's teacher to reschedule a different date and time during the teacher's office hours.

Studio Artistry, the official school photographer, will be on campus to take individual pictures of all elementary students on Tuesday, September 19.
Students should wear their regular school uniform for school pictures. School polos only can be worn for the pictures; sweaters, sweatshirts, or PE uniforms are not allowed for these pictures. Students who have PE should bring their PE uniform to change into after their picture has been taken.
SAVE THE DATE!
Tuesday, September 26
7:00 am ~ Elementary Multi-Purpose Room
The All Pro Dad program at CDS does not follow a faith-based agenda, it is character based and is approved by the National PTO for all public schools. This program is for ALL students of ALL religions and students may attend with a special male adult.
Please join us for our first meeting of the 2017-2018 school year in the elementary multi purpose room. This is a great opportunity for dads and their kids to engage in conversation and strengthen their relationships, as well as a time to meet other CDS dads!
Breakfast from Flik will be available for purchase.
(Please note: Flik does not accept cash;
students must have a Flik account set up on MySchoolBucks.com to purchase breakfasts.)
Learning does not stop at the end of the school day. Students can choose from a variety of after-school programs designed to create enthusiasm for learning while building creativity, imagination and positive social skills. These programs are offered by CDS staff and other professionals who want to share their talent and passion for their field.

KidCheck®
CDS uses KidCheck® to provide an online check in/check out system for the safety and tracking of our children. Every elementary family should create an account. This assures that our after care program is equipped to care for your child in the event that unplanned circumstances prevent you from picking up your child at the regular dismissal time. If you used KidCheck last year, your account is still active.
How to create your KidCheck account
