Hello Allen Eagles!
Please continue to check www.cvesd.org and allenelementary.org for the most up-to-date information about our vibrant school community and amazing district: The health and safety of our students and staff remain at the forefront of all decisions regarding the upcoming school year.
While the school year ends officially on Wednesday, June 3rd, the district will continue to offer students access to online programs and resources such as iReady, Achieve 3000, and GoMath over the summer break. In addition, families may print out educational packets for students over the summer break here. CVESD’s Distance Learning packets available for download can prevent the loss of learning over the summer break. Curriculum packets may be used with or without technology. Each packet is intended to last two weeks (10 school days).
A friendly reminder that students will not recieve a report card for quarter 4. If you did not receive a digital copy of your child’s 3rd quarter report card, please contact your child’s teacher.
