This morning, Superintendent Haught and RC BOE President, Dr. Torie Jackson, greeted CCES students as they arrived to school. Today, we welcomed some of the Pre School students for the 23-24 school year. We are excited to welcome the rest of the Pre School students tomorrow!







Meet our 3rd grade teachers, Mrs. Kram and Ms. Swiger. We would like to welcome Ms. Swiger to CCES. Thank you both for all you do for our students!



Great job Ritchie County Middle School! We are so proud of your achievement on the state testing in May! Keep up the good work!






Mrs. Bell and Ms. Post are the 4th grade teachers at CCES. Mrs. Bell teaches 4th grade reading/language arts and Ms. Post teaches 4th grade math. Thank you for all you do for our students!



We are blessed at CCES with a wonderful staff. Now that students are settling into a new school year, we would like to showcase our staff that work hard every day for our Cardinal students!


Kindergarten students will have their first day of school tomorrow, Monday, August 21st. We are excited to see their smiling faces.


One of the best parts of getting back to school is having fun with your friends. Look at the smiles on all these faces.

PreK open house will be held next Thursday, August 24th from 3:30-7:00pm


Last night our Open House was held. We welcomed over 100 families. Students and their families rotated through stations with their passports to receive important information about our school. At station 6, each student scratched off to reveal who their teacher will be for the 23-24 school year. Completed passports were entered to win door prizes which will be distributed once school starts. We enjoyed seeing our students and are ready for our Cardinals to soar this school year! If your student was unable to attend, they will receive the information provided to those in attendance of Open House.
