Zebra Family, The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. Please be assured that CPS is closely monitoring the weather forecast. All sites have reviewed our safety protocols. We understand that parents/guardians may want to pick up their children through the proper channels. If you choose to do so, this will be an excused absence. However, we do not want to send children home without supervision; therefore, our buses will not run early. If the weather changes and we must delay the buses, we will notify you as soon as possible through the CPS Mobile App and the Stopfinder App.

🌟 Catalayah Celebrates Character Every Day! 🌟 At our school, every student can be recognized with a "Character Counts" certificate for showing positive character traits! Any adult in the building can award one when they notice a student making a difference by following life principles that guide us to become better people. When a student receives a certificate, their teacher celebrates them immediately, and then the recognition continues in the morning at Rise and Shine! The students' names are called, they stand tall, and the school gives them two power claps in support! 🎉 One lucky student is randomly chosen each day, earning a special prize donated by our wonderful local businesses. Their photo is proudly posted on our “Character Counts” wall alongside every certificate earned throughout the year – a space students love visiting to find their names! This year, we've ensured character counts everywhere, adding “Cafeteria Character Counts” and recognizing students on the bus, too! 🚌🍎 We’re proud to honor students every day for the positive choices that lift our school community! #cpszebrapride

🦇 3rd Graders Are Batty for Learning! 🦇 Mrs. Castle’s class had a blast going a little batty this October! The students dived into fascinating bat facts, learning cool things like how bats are the only mammals that can truly fly and that some bats can eat over 1,000 bugs every night—keeping our skies bug-free! 🌌 After exploring bat stories and sharing their favorite facts in creative paragraphs, they painted beautiful sunset scenes, practiced listening skills with a fun directed-drawing, and wrapped up the day with a bat-tastic math project! Using 3-digit addition and subtraction, they created their own “math bats,” making learning fun and spooky! 🦇🎨✏️

Mr. Riggs engages his students with hands-on learning through heart dissections and full fetal pig autopsies. These activities allow students to thoroughly explore anatomy, gaining practical insights into organ systems and biological functions. By working directly with specimens, students develop a deeper understanding of physiology and sharpen their scientific skills.

In Ms. Fudge’s class, students experienced the power of uplifting one another during a team-building exercise. By working together and showing encouragement, they learned how positivity and support can strengthen a team. This activity ties perfectly into our Great Expectations Life Principles of kindness, cooperation, and respect, reminding us that when we lift each other up, we all rise together. Let’s continue to build each other up and spread kindness throughout our school! #cpszebrapride
