Dear CLS Families and Friends,
 
Preparation for the 2016-2017 school year has begun.  We are excited at the possibility of CLS providing Kindergarten through fifth grade in single grade self-contained classrooms. Therefore, in support of CLS and its continued long-range vision, we strongly encourage all of our current families to re-enroll your children if you have not already done so.  It is the belief of school administration that we need to continue moving in a positive direction by providing our students the very best education.  It is for this reason we have sought to accelerate our program from adding only one individual classroom each year to providing both fourth and fifth grades with their own classroom teacher. We are presently in the process of interviewing a number of qualified and capable candidates to fill the roles needed to keep our school moving forward.  Also, we are adding a preschool summer program which begins June 13, 2016, and will run until July 29, 2016, to aid and support our families. 
 
All full-time classroom teachers have signed contracts to return for 2016-2017:
Kim Heggins (Preschool), Jeannene Kintner (Kindergarten), Pamela Smith (1st grade), Annie Wilson (2nd grade), Christina Grace (3rd grade), Carol Chivalette (6-8th grade language arts/Speech), Glen Thornell (6-8th grade math, science, bible), and Dr. C will continue to teach (6th-8th grade history/drama), while serving as school superintendent.
  
Attached is a collective list of important calendar events which is being sent as a reminder to all of our school families.  I hope to see each of you at these events and activities as we prepare to close out a successful and blessed school year. 
 
Serving God through education,
Dr. Michael Hemme Chivalette
Superintendent
