Every day, I am deeply humbled by the incredible dedication of our parent community. Your tireless efforts and unwavering support of our school create the foundation that allows our students to thrive. We truly couldn't do this without you.

We are thrilled to announce that construction on our new playground covered structure will officially begin next week! This project is a wonderful addition to our campus and will provide our students with a shaded, year-round space for play and outdoor learning. Work is scheduled to continue through the end of the summer.
Safety Reminder With construction crews and equipment on-site, we ask for your extra cooperation and patience. Please be mindful of new signage and work zones during drop-off and pick-up to ensure the safety of our students, staff, and visitors.
Thank you for your support as we improve our school grounds!
How You Can Help We kindly ask our community members, volunteers and visitors to partner with us in keeping our campus secure. If you are on school grounds, please ensure that: - All gates are firmly closed and locked immediately after you pass through them.
- You continue to check in at the main office before entering the gated areas.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our Charlemagne community safe! |
A friendly reminder to all families and staff to prioritize safety during drop-off and pick-up. We have received concerns regarding high speeds on Kincaid Street and drivers turning without looking at the intersection of 39th and East Amazon.
Please help us protect our students by: - Slowing down on Kincaid Street.
- Pausing and checking twice for pedestrians and cyclists at the 39th St./Kincaid Park junction.
- Staying off devices and remaining alert in school zones.
Thanks for helping us work together to keep our students and families safe. |

This month, our SEL time is focused on the critical competencies of Kindness and Empathy. These are foundational skills that help students succeed both inside and outside the classroom.
At-Home Connection Activities: - Create a "Calm Corner": Talk about what helps you feel better when your emotions feel "big." Together, find a dedicated spot in the house and fill it with things like soft pillows, fidget toys, or books to create a safe space for regulation.
- Memory Storytelling: Take turns sharing a favorite memory. Describe not just what happened, but exactly how it made you feel (happy, proud, peaceful) to help build emotional vocabulary.
- Five-Senses Nature Walk: Head outside for a "Sensory Walk." Pick one sense—like hearing—and see how many different sounds you can identify. This helps everyone stay present and grounded.
- Add: The "High/Low" Dinner Ritual: At the end of the day, have everyone share one "high" point (a win) and one "low" point (a challenge). This normalizes talking about the ups and downs of life.

...and for being part of what makes Charlemagne a great place to learn and grow.
