These first days back have been full of smiles as students and teachers settle in to the new school year. #TheDEN

Mrs. Francis's 7th and 8th grade classes joined forces today to explore their Spanish course syllabus! From group discussions to interactive stations, our students worked together to uncover everything they need to know for a successful semester. 🌟👏 ¡Vamos, estudiantes! 💪📖 #Teamwork #SpanishClass #BackToSchool #LearningTogether

Tiger Nation, thanks for helping us have a great first day! Our students, staff, and families helped get our long-awaited 24-25 school year off to a great beginning! Starting any school year often comes with transportation challenges, and Tropical Storm Debby and running our Alternate Bus Routes due to the ongoing impacts of Tropical Storm Debby have added to those challenges. We know these adjustments to transportation haven't been easy, and we truly appreciate your patience, support, and assistance as we navigate these challenges! We've made adjustments to help our Tigers navigate these challenges, and we ask for our parents and families to assist as they're able by following these important transportation tips: https://tinyurl.com/58vfjktn THANK YOU for all you have done and continue to do on behalf of our Tigers!

🎉💛🖤Let's hear it for CES 5th grade! 💛🖤🎉 Building relationships, learning procedures, and fostering collaborative teams—our first days back are all about connecting and growing together! Over the next few days, we'd like to introduce, showcase, and celebrate some of our Tiger teams across the district! First up, please meet the 5th grade team at CES! These students and teachers are roaring with energy and enthusiasm for learning! We can't wait to see what the 2024-2025 school year holds for the Class of 2032 and their teachers!!! #CollegeCareerCommunityReadyStudents #WeLoveOurTigers

One humble hero at CHS is Mr. Donnie Bates! Each day this man offers students a warm smile, kind hello, and a clean, inviting space to learn. Today was no exception! After welcoming students back to school during breakfast, Bates inspired second year Firefighting students by sharing his journey to becoming a firefighter. Thank you, Mr. Bates, for loving our school and community! #TheDEN #collegecareercommunity
