Dear Families,
With only one week of school remaining before vacation, we’d like to wish you a very happy and healthy holiday season! We’re looking forward to seeing you on campus for our holiday concerts next week. Please read below for more details about December events.
Please ask your child to check out our lost and found, located in each house before Friday, December 16th. Any remaining items will be donated after this date.
Please label your child’s personal items, especially water bottles, clothing, and lunchboxes.
The EC-1st grade holiday concert is on December 13th and the 2nd-5th grade concert is on December 15th. Concerts will start at 8:30 am.
An EC holiday shared snack will take place on December 13th, after the holiday concert, parents are welcome to join.
The Gift Parade will take place on December 16th. At this time we do not anticipate having space for guests since all primary students will join the event at the same time.

Our yearly Gift Parade is around the corner. On December 16th Santa will visit campus and students will join our tradition of giving back to the community by bringing a wrapped gift as a present to Santa. Students should bring a wrapped gift to their classroom by December 16th and include a sticky note detailing if it’s appropriate for a boy or girl and the age range.
Swimming for EC-1st grade will end next week.
2nd-5th grade will start their swimming unit the week of January 16th.
According to the World Health Organization, water temperatures ranging from 78 to 86 degrees Fahrenheit are generally comfortable and safe for those engaging in moderate physical activity in a pool. Although the CDS pool temperature may fall within this range, in the morning when the air and water temperature are cooler, our younger students have expressed discomfort in the water. It’s our priority to create a positive swimming experience, especially for our younger students so during these mornings, students will participate in an alternative PE class. Please keep in mind that students will participate in swimming units twice a year so they will have other opportunities to engage in swimming.
A few reminders from your CDS Library Team:
With the winter holidays approaching, and extended time away from school, your CDS Library would like to invite you to check-out extra books to keep you reading over break! We are happy to help you look for good books or give you suggestions on some of our favorite new arrivals.
Come on in. No appointment is necessary. The CDS Library is open from 8:00am-3:00pm (closes at noon on Friday, Dec. 16).
Come and get some great holiday reading!
