Through ongoing communication with Carissa’s parents, and in honoring their wishes for their daughter, the Johnson County School District asks our entire community to unite in support of her family.
We invite all students, staff, and community members to wear pink on Monday, August 17. Pink was Carissa’s favorite color, and wearing it together will serve as a symbol of our shared love, unity, and support.
Per her parents' wishes, all district schools—including Johnson County Middle School—will be in session on Monday. District flags will fly at half-staff in Carissa’s honor, and counselors and school psychologists will continue to be available in our schools to support our students and staff.
Please continue to keep Carissa’s family, friends, and loved ones in your thoughts and prayers during this heartbreaking time.
Practice is cancelled today due to potential bad weather. The next practice will be tomorrow at 6:30.

🌟 Leadership in Action! 🌟
We are so proud of our 4th grader, Ruby Anne Justice, for showing what it means to be a great leader! 💛🖤
During breakfast, Ruby Anne noticed our Kindergarteners, Blakely Williams and Bali Smith, could use a helping hand and stepped right in to assist them. She also helped the kindergarteners on the bus yesterday afternoon as well. Her kindness, responsibility, and willingness to help our younger Eagles are wonderful examples of leadership in action. 🦅
Way to go, Ruby Anne! Thank you for leading by example and showing our little Eagles how we Learn, Lead, and Live a Legacy! 🌟

🦅 CES Eagles Are Ready to SOAR! 🦅
Tomorrow, our 2nd–5th grade students will begin their Beginning-of-the-Year Diagnostic Assessments.
These assessments help our teachers see what students already know and where we can best support their growth this year. We simply want every student to give their best effort!
Parents and families can help by making sure students:
* 😴 Get a good night’s sleep and go to bed on time.
* ⏰ Arrive at school on time and ready for the day.
* 🍳 Eat a good breakfast at home or at school.
* 💪 Encourage them to do their best—no pressure, just their best effort!
* 📖 Take their time, read carefully, and check their work.
* 🧠 Remember that it’s okay not to know every answer. These assessments help us know what they’re ready to learn next.
* ❤️ Come in with a positive attitude and confidence!
A simple message tonight can make a big difference: “Take your time, work hard, and show what you know. I’m proud of you!”
We are excited to see how much our Eagles grow this year!
Learn. Lead. Live a Legacy.
Every day is a GREAT day to be an EAGLE! 🦅🖤💛

🚨 Important Transportation & Dismissal Reminder 🚨
Parents and Guardians,
Please take a moment to review our updated dismissal procedures for this school year.
🕝 Transportation Changes:
All transportation changes must be sent in writing with your child to Ms. Lisa before the start of the school day. We will not be accepting phone calls for transportation changes.
🚗 Student Sign-Outs:
There will be no student sign-outs after 2:30 p.m. unless it is an emergency. If you arrive after 2:30, you will need to wait until buses have loaded and departed before your child can be signed out.
These procedures help ensure the safety of all of our CES Eagles and allow our staff enough time to prepare for a smooth and accurate dismissal.
Thank you for your understanding, cooperation, and continued support as we work together to keep our students safe! 🖤💛🦅

As we begin another great school year, we’d like to remind everyone of our morning drop-off procedures to help keep our students safe and our arrival process running smoothly.
🦅 Morning Drop-Off Reminders
• Parents should say their goodbyes at the front entrance. Parents are not permitted inside the building during morning arrival.
• If using the drop-off line, please have your child(ren) ready to exit the vehicle when you reach the front of the line.
• If you’d like to walk your child to the front door, please park in our visitor parking area rather than stopping in the drop-off lane.
Your patience, cooperation, and support help us provide a safe, efficient, and welcoming start to each day for all of our students.
Thank you for partnering with us to make every day a GREAT day to be an EAGLE! 🖤💛🦅

We're Hiring at Central Elementary School! 🍎🦅
Central Elementary School is looking for a passionate, caring, and student-centered School Counselor to join our Eagle family!
If you believe every child deserves to be seen, supported, encouraged, and empowered to succeed, we'd love to have you on our team. Our school is committed to creating a safe, supportive, and caring environment where students can grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
If you're ready to make a lasting impact in the lives of children, apply today!
Students will enjoy: 📖 Homework Help ➕ Reading & Math Academic Support 🎨 Hands-On Enrichment Activities 🚌 Bus Transportation to Designated Drop-Off Locations (if needed)
⚠️ Please Note: Due to limited space, registration does not guarantee placement. Priority will be given to students with teacher recommendations, and all registrations must be approved before students may attend.
To ensure a safe, positive, and productive environment where every student can thrive, all participants will be expected to follow the Eagles SOAR Behavior Contract. Students who receive three behavior strikes will be removed from the program for the remainder of the school year.
Our goal is to provide a safe, supportive environment where every Eagle can S.O.A.R.! We can't wait for another great year of learning, growing, and having fun after school! 💛
