We are excited to kick off the 2025 New Year with our students and staff as we welcome everyone back to school on Thursday! 🎉 🎈 Our custodians and maintenance staff have been working diligently to clear ice and snow from sidewalks and parking lots. However, we kindly ask everyone to exercise caution and patience during arrival and dismissal for everyone’s safety. On Thursday, please be sure to send one completed learning activity in your child’s colored folder from our snow day/A.M.I. Day to ensure they are counted present for January 8th. There is a change to Thursday’s menu. The Hornet Café will serve sausage patties, cereal, fruit, and juice for breakfast. For lunch, we’ll have chicken tenders, fries, baby carrots with ranch, fruit, and milk. Let's have a great 2025!!! See you in the morning!

Today was Warrior Wednesday at CES! Students and staff showed their support by wearing camo and red, white, and blue to honor our emergency responders and military. Pictured with our very own Miss Kim are Sergeant Sullivan and Sergeant Santoso. Thank you for your service!
Feel free to share your child’s Warrior Wednesday pictures from today! Don’t forget, tomorrow is PJ Day—let’s get comfy and cozy!


Thank you to Dr. Mitch Holder and the Chillicothe R-2 Board of Education for the thoughtful holiday gift for our faculty and staff. Your kindness and support mean so much to CES! While our board representative, Clint Williams, was unable to attend, we value his leadership as well as our school board president and as our board representative.




Our Jingle and Grow i-Ready Dance Party was a huge success! A special congratulations to our song leaders with the most growth, who selected a holiday song for their grade-level dance. Kudos also to all our students for putting forth their best effort and our Student Leadership Team for planning such a fun event!











Congratulations to our "Hard Working Hornets" in PE/Health for December!
