Principal’s Message

Welcome back CPE families! We hope you had a restful December break and enjoyed your time with family and friends. As we settle back into school, students will be reconnecting with classmates, rebuilding routines, and getting back into the rhythm of learning together. We are beginning January with school-based activities such as skating, skiing and snowboarding, while also returning to focused learning as students work toward their personal goals and continue to strengthen core skills in literacy, numeracy, and social-emotional growth. We are looking forward to seeing you back at school on Monday!
