Calhoun Elementary

To keep families informed: A transformer has blown in Calhoun, and power will be off for a while at CES. VEC is on site addressing the issue. All students are safe in class, and a warm lunch will still be served to all students. This is also affecting phone lines. Please reach out to homeroom teachers through email if needing to contact us. We will update everyone when power is restored.

Any 6th - 8th grader interested in cheering at CES needs to see Mrs. Burnsed this week!

Class t-shirt options.

CES students return on regular schedule Friday (PreK & kindergarten on staggered schedule). Just FYI: road work has begun on Hwy 163 as you travel toward CES. Please allow an extra 5-10 minutes travel time for drop off and pick up
