Welcome Back Dear Parents / Guardians: The staff at Cokeville Elementary School look forward to working with you and your student(s) in the coming school year. As a staff we are excited about the opportunities the coming school year will hold. Teachers are excited to have students back from the summer break and to begin a year of learning and growth together. Those of you who are participating in the summer reading challenge, the reading challenge will end on August 16th. Please continue to read, read, read!! Please plan to attend a back-to-school night on Thursday, August 26, 2021 at 5:30 p.m. I will start with a presentation and you will then have an opportunity to meet with your child’s teacher. We look forward to visiting with you. We will be providing ice-cream to be consumed out on the playground as you finish meeting with your student(s) teacher(s). As normal, for parents with multiple students in different grades, there will be time available for you to meet with each of your students’ teachers as we follow a time schedule. Registration is currently open for the elementary. If you haven’t already, please go to CES.lcsd2.org and hit the registration button to ensure we have your child’s registration information. Also, if any information (phone number or address) has changed, please contact the elementary school office to notify us of the update. Supply lists will be posted on our website. I want to review crosswalk procedures for the elementary crosswalk. A team of community members will be volunteering to cover the morning crosswalk duty from 7:30 – 8:00 (thank you to those who are volunteering). Please remember that when the crossing guard is out in the street all cars coming from any direction need to stop and wait for the crossing guard to return to his / her post. This is important as it helps to keep children safe. There were a number of close calls last year with vehicles and students, so this is an area I would like to focus on improving. I know this may require vehicles to wait for a minute or so, but we are committed to ensuring the safety of your student(s). Thank you for your help in this regard. Also, if you would be willing to help staff the crossing guard position occasionally please let us know. Please contact CES office with any questions. We look forward to a great year!! Sincerely, Kenneth Dietz Cokeville Schools Principal
