Parents:
We understand that dropping your child off at school can be stressful and time-consuming. If your child can get out of the car or truck by themselves, dropping off your child on the middle school side will make the process smoother. Our staff will safely walk them over to the elementary side in a timely manner, ensuring everyone gets to their destination safely. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding.
We understand that as a parent or guardian, your student's mental health is a top priority. Please know that we are here to help in any way we can. To support your student, we invite you to visit the CISD website and access the link in the top right-hand corner to refer them for counseling. Mrs. Follis, our licensed mental health counselor, will work to respond to your request as soon as possible. Regardless of your student's grade level, we are committed to creating a safe and supportive environment for all students. Counseling sessions will be available starting the week of August 14th. Remember, We Are Better Together.

‼CHS Announces Attendance Grand Prize 🐺 Chevy 2023 Trailblazer‼
CHS students that have perfect attendance this year are looking at chances to win a brand new 2023 Chevy Trailblazer. This vehicle will be presented to a student from CHS as an attendance reward this year. The CISD Educational foundation has provided the grand prize to help reward students and bolster attendance at the high school. Along with the grand prize CHS will also be doing weekly rewards, 3-week cash prizes, 6-week cash prizes and drawings for prizes, and semester prizes based on a class competition (class wars) for trips to possible sporting events or themed parks.
All rules and guidelines are being finalized for the grand prize, but if you do not attend, you cannot win. So all students get to school on time and don't miss.
Students are only eligible for grand prize if they are registered at CHS before snapshot PEIMS date October 27th.
Parents we respect your concerns: Starting today we will have 7th/8th graders picked up on the elementary side in the lane closest to elementary school. 5th/6th graders will be picked up on the Middle School Side in the lane closest to the building. If you have a 5th/6th grader and a 7th/8th grader the 5th/6th grader will be on the Elementary side with their 7th/8th sibling. We hope this alleviates our pick up issues for all families.
Wolf Nation: Dear CISD Families,
We have experienced a great first day of school. As a reminder those Wolves who ride buses to and from school, please be patient with pickup and drop times as routes are being calibrated. We hope you have wonderful dinner conversations this evening about the great experiences and expectations of student's first day of school as a member of our CCITY WOLVES ! BE BLESSED 🙏🏾
‼🐺The 2023-2023 school year has begun at CHS and we are off to a fantastic start! The teachers at CHS were well-prepared to welcome, teach, and motivate their students, with inviting classrooms and fun activities to help everyone get to know each other. The first lunch of the year was a success, with our nutrition staff serving up delicious food with bright smiles for our hungry Wolves. #ThisIsWolfNation
‼🐺Thank you so much for an awesome first morning of school. We enjoyed welcoming families this morning and seeing all the smiling faces. From this point forward, parents will need to utilize the parent drop off in the mornings. We will no longer allow families to enter to take students to class. THANK YOU FOR A GREAT MORNING!!!!
The CISD Convocation 2023 was heartwarming and inspiring for all, from the board trustees to the administrators, teachers, staff, and CISD partnerships. Mrs. Liliana Ornelas, the CISD Board Vice President, welcomed the our guests, while Mrs. Sheila Plagens, the President of the CISD Education Foundation, spoke to our CISD family and partners. Dr. Polk, our CISD Superintendent, shared the Star Moments from 2022-2023, and the guest speaker, Thomas C. Murray, delivered a motivating speech on the importance of being "Personal & Authentic." It was a wonderful morning and a perfect way to prepare for the return of our students tomorrow! #ThisIsWolfNation
The Pigskin Preview at Wolf Stadium! Join us on August 14 @ 7:00 PM to celebrate the 100th season of Wolves Football. Come cheer on our varsity football, volleyball, cross country, cheerleaders, and The Pride of Wolf Country Band! #WolfPackUp#ThisIsWolfNation
Colorado Elementary and Middle School are excited to welcome students to the 2023-24 School year. Our first day of instruction will be August 9, welcoming students into the building at 7:30 a.m. Pre-K through 4th grade will dismiss at 3:25 while 5th through 8th grades will dismiss at 3:46.
ARRIVAL PROCEDURES:
First through fourth grades will go to the elementary cafeteria for breakfast upon arrival at school. Fifth through eighth grades will go to the middle school cafeteria. If your child is able to walk independently, please drop them off on the Middle School side. If your child needs assistance exiting the car, please drop off on the Elementary side. Pre-K and Kindergarten students will eat breakfast after they have all been taken in the classroom and seventh and eighth grade students will eat following athletics and PE. Early Head Start students will also need to enter through the front doors of the building for security measures.
As a reminder, please do not drop your child off before 7:30 as staff will not be on duty yet. Also, please pull up to the directed colored cone to help promote a safe and quick pick up for all students. If your child is dropped off AFTER 7:55, then you will need to walk your child in and sign them in with their campus .This applies to Middle School as well. Our campus will be diligent about documenting tardies as well as absences. When students miss school, they miss out. The education environment can not be recreated. So CES/CMS looks forward to working with you to have high attendance this year. Incentives will be offered to encourage 100% attendance.
DISMISSAL:
Dismissal will be a little different this year. As a reminder, Pre-K through fourth grade will dismiss at 3:25 while fifth through eighth grades will dismiss at 3:46.
Please follow the pick-up arrangements to help ensure students are picked up quickly and safely. At the 3:25 pickup, Head Start and Pre-K students will be ready to be picked up in the lane closest to the elementary office side. Kindergarten will be picked up in the outer lane closest to the rocks.
On the middle school side, first and second grade will be picked up in the lane closest to the middle school office and third and fourth grade will be picked up in the outer lane closest to the rocks.
Regular car riders will be required to have a car tag in grades Head Start through 4th grade. The first car tag will be free. Replacements can be purchased for $2 in the elementary office. At the 3:46 pickup, fifth through eighth will be dismissed on the Middle School Side only. Students will not be allowed to walk down the street to be picked up since that is a safety issue. Our goal is to make sure all students are picked up safely.
Walkers must be walking to their residence, not a car parked down the road for safety purposes. Please help us keep everyone safe.
Early Head Start will dismiss at 3:30 this year and as part of the safety protocols will need to be picked up by entering the elementary school and pick up a tag to enter the building. We will not be dismissing from the Kinder/Pre-K hall in an effort to maintain security for all students.
If your child is second grade or younger and a bus rider, someone must be visible at the door when students are dropped off at home. All age bus riders will not be allowed to switch bus routes unless it is a permanent change.
If you have transportation changes, these changes must be made through the office, not the classroom teacher no later than 2:30 p.m. on both the elementary and middle school side. If picking up your child early, we ask for parents to call the school office ahead of time to let the staff know your child will be leaving. If your child is not picked it by 2:30, please just wait until school is dismissed. Remember early dismissals count against perfect attendance awards.
