The new year inspires us to set some positive goals and develop new habits or learn new skills. Are their skills or habits you would like to foster with your child? How do you choose what is most important and how do you make a plan to practice the new habit or skill? Join us virtually or on the CMS/CHS campus on Thursday, January 20 at 9am for a Table Talk to learn more. Bring your questions and leave with tips and strategies to use at home!

"We had really hoped that Covid would have been in our rearview mirror by now. Unfortunately, it appears we will be dealing with it for several more weeks. The faculty and staff members of the ECCSS will continue to do everything we possibly can to keep schools open and operational. However, it will take a community effort to get through this phase." - M. Waters
