A Message from the Principal.

Dear Parents and Students,

I am thrilled to have all of you as part of the Charter Schools of Excellence Riverland Campus family for the 2014-15 school year. The faculty and staff are prepared for an exciting year of learning and growth.

Student success is the goal of every staff member at CSE. We believe that with our structure and dedication to high quality, research-based best practices, every student will learn to his/her full potential. We are prepared to offer time and support as needed. I ask for your support and participation in this effort by sending your child to school every day, encouraging him/her to read for pleasure at least 30 minutes every night, monitoring homework and progress, and asking your child to share what they learned at school each day.

Finally, I urge you to become involved and stay involved at CSE There are literally hundreds of ways to be involved in activities in both big and small ways depending on the amount of time you have. There are also many opportunities to help in the classroom, with field trips, and attend some or all of the many school events. We send home important information about events each week with students on Fridays through the Cheetah Chatter. From time to time we must send home important information with students, so it is a good idea to check backpacks daily. Check our website regularly. We also make automated or personal phone calls to all parents so it is important we have current phone numbers.

On behalf of the Charter Schools of Excellence Team,

Ruth Kalinsky, Principal
