🚀 Blast Off to the 2023-2024 School Year! 🚀

Mission Control: Colegrove Park Elementary School

Attention all future space explorers, star students, and cosmic learners! The countdown has begun, and we are thrilled to announce the launch of a brand new school year at CPES!  On behalf of our dedicated crew of teachers and staff, we extend a warm welcome to our students and families, both returning and new. We're excited to embark on an incredible journey together filled with knowledge, exploration, and personal growth.

During this mission, students will embark on thrilling educational adventures that will propel their imagination and expand their minds to new frontiers. We are excited to discover new horizons with our student body. Our team of educators are passionate about fostering a nurturing and inclusive environment. They are committed to guiding young minds as they soar through the academic universe and develop essential skills for a successful future.

At Colegrove Park Elementary School, we believe that collaboration is the key to success. Parents, teachers, and students form an intergalactic community that works together to achieve greatness. Let's support each other on this thrilling mission to excellence!

As we seek to explore endless opportunities for learning, our guiding school and classroom expectations remain steadfast.   In simple terms, we ask that students take care of themselves, take care of others and take care of our school, classrooms and common spaces by practicing:

  • Safe Hands

  • Walking Feet

  • Watching Eyes/Eye Contact with Speaker

  • Listening Ears/Listening to the Speaker

  • Growing Minds/Growth Mindset

  • Kind Words

The adventure awaits! Together, we'll soar to greater heights, explore the vastness of knowledge, and make this academic year a journey to remember. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us at any time to be of support and assistance to your child and family.  We look forward to our ongoing partnership. Let's lift off and make this year out of this world!

Sincerely,

Principal Meehan
