Students, up to the age of 18, have the ability to go to either Eagle Heights Elementary or Jefferson Elementary schools in Clinton, to participate in the summer meal program. There is no charge for these breakfasts or lunches.

FROM NURSE AMANDA
If your child has prescription or over the counter medication at school, it will be important to stop in and pick it up before or at the completion of the school year. Leftover medication cannot be sent home with students for the safety of them and others. If the medications are not picked up, they are automatically discarded. If you have questions regarding our medication policy, feel free to contact the school nurse.
FEES & UNPAID BALANCES
Please strive to get your students’ bus fees, book fees, and library fees paid up. Some lunch accounts are also past due. Balances of all student accounts will carry over to the following school year. Balances of 4th grade students will carry over to their 5th grade accounts at middle school. All unpaid balances as of June 15th 2024, will be assessed a 25% late fee.
2024-2025 REGISTRATION
Registration for the 2024-2025 school year will be completed online. Parents, please make sure that your contact information is up to date in JMC. Communication regarding registration for next school year will be shared via text and/or email as soon as online registration opens.
PTA NEWS
You can still order a yearbook if you haven’t. Here is the link to purchase the yearbook: https://www.treering.com/purchase?PassCode=1015351206774106 Orders will be mailed (from TreeRing) to the home address if it is too late to be mailed to the school.
The PTA will need a new board starting the 2025-2026 school year. There is one member who will have students at the elementary school. The PTA will not be able to continue with only one member. The PTA funds field trips, hosts The Monster Mash, Ties and Tiaras, the Holiday Shop, the yearbook, and funding things/items that enhance the students learning experience. If you have thought about joining, next year would be a great opportunity! Feel free to contact Erin Ohsann or Jessica Volz. We can be contacted through our Camanche Elementary PTA Facebook Messenger and stormpta@yahoo..com. GO STORM!
FROM MRS. MUNSON
This week discuss with your student(s): “Look how far I’ve come”. Spend time this week reflecting on how far they have come in the last year. Discuss how much they have learned academically as well as how much they have matured socially and emotionally. Most importantly have a great summer and enjoy some time together as a family outside. I can’t wait to see all our CES students back here in the fall!
Here are a few books to read together:
· The Egg by M. P. Robertson
· A Letter to My Teacher by Deborah Hopkinson
· Last Day Hurray by Nancy Poydar
· I Knew You Could by Craig Dorfman
