Feliz octubre,
Halloween Spirit Day at CCE – Monday, October 31
CCE students will have an opportunity to wear a costume to school and in their classroom if they choose to (See Costume Guidelines below). We are not requiring anyone to participate in costume wearing, and if costumes cause a disruption in the classroom teachers may request the student to remove it. The goal is to not spend the day taking costumes off and on, they are permitted to wear them without minimal distraction to the school day. Teachers can have some differences in what activities they will be planning for their students, though please know that teachers will continue to proceed with their regular daily lessons and schedules while incorporating creative academic lessons or activities.
Reminder: All CCE students must be aware and mindful to NOT bring Halloween candies and foods with nuts in the classroom. Eating is not permitted in the classroom.
CCE Halloween Parade, Monday, Oct. 31, 8:30 a.m. – 8:45 a.m., Playground
1st-6th classrooms will be sitting along the perimeter of the playground track, so each grade-level at a time strolls 1 lap around the track. Parents are invited to take pictures and enjoy the Halloween parade and music.
Costume Guidelines
- Wearing a costume for the day is optional.
- Costume items may be available if classroom families help donate some to their student’s classroom.
- Please follow district and school Dress Code policy, wear appropriate attire without indecency or gore.
- Student must be identifiable throughout the day. Avoid face paint that completely disguises your facial appearance.

Highlights
A Touch of Understanding 4th, 5th and 6th Workshops
We are grateful for SIPAT for sponsoring the very inspiring, highly engaging workshops presented by A Touch of Understanding (ATOU) this week at CCE. ATOU is a disabilities awareness program designed to educate students to understand the challenges associated with disabilities and to accept and respect all individuals. Our students learned so much more about visible and invisible disabilities through interactive simulations, stations, and learned from the presenters’ personal experiences exhibited by the ATOU Team.
Breast Cancer Awareness Month at CCE
Our staff showed support wearing pink this past Thursday, October 20 to celebrate our beloved custodian, Mirna “Bea” Olivera’s 2-year anniversary from recovery of breast cancer. Our hope is to support our community members who have had breast cancer touch their lives in any way.
Clubs and Lobo Líderes Start Up at CCE
The CCE Choir Club started their first session last Tuesday. There are under ten spots left, so if you are still interested you may register here. A lottery and waitlist will be available if over ten spots are filled. The CCE Lobos Líderes Team of over 100, 4th/5th/6th students, began planning last week to support our CARES assemblies, programs and events. And finally, the 4th, 5th, 6th, Newspaper Club organized over 50 students in planning for our student-led CCE newspaper written in Español.
