CCES Summer Camps

On Friday May 22nd, students in grades K - 4 were given registration forms for the 21st Century Summer Camp which will take place here at CCES. These registration forms were NOT given to EVERY student. Only those who were recommended by their teacher received a form. PLEASE get these returned to your child's teacher no later than this Friday, May 29! 5th grade students who were recommended to attend the CMS Summer School should be receiving a letter in the mail. Please return these forms to either Mr. Newton at the Middle School, or your child's 5th grade teacher.

Teacher of the Year Congratulations to Fifth Grade Social Studies Teacher Mr. Towler for being elected as the the 2008-2009 Teacher of the Year for Cumberland County Elementary School!

Benchmark Testing

Many parents have been asking "What is a "benchmark test"?" Basically, students are given these assessments at regular intervals throughout the year to check their progress on learning the material they are to be learning. Benchmarks are a good way to keep track of what information the students have mastered and what info the teacher may need to review. These become increasingly prevalent as students reach 3rd - 5th grades. These tests are good indicators as to how students are progressing as the SOLs approach and should be taken seriously! If you have additional questions, please do not hesitate to contact your child's teacher.
