Chromebooks and Downloads
As more and more students are receiving one to one devices, it is important to remember that "the use of District 112 technology must be in support of learning".  The Chromebooks provide access to teacher webpages, student work, and resources at any time.  They are a great tool in learning.  It is strongly encouraged for students to "make it their own", but there needs to be caution when doing so.  Downloading apps, games, and extensions does effect the functioning of the Chromebook.  Often times when students come to school and their device doesn't work, once these type of items are removed the machine works as expected.  Please continue to monitor your student's Chromebook and the items downloaded to it.  Chromebooks are a wonderful aide in learning for all students.  Thank you for helping to make sure the device works properly. 
 
Just a reminder, District 112 does offer optional insurance to help offset the cost of repair if needed.  Please follow this link to learn more about it and what exactly if covers.  http://connexion.district112.org/protection-plan/
 
Attendance
Please remember to call the CRE office if your child will not be attending school or is going to be late.

If possible please write in your child's planner if he/she will be late or will not be attending school. Please call 952-556-6900 or 952-556-9619(Nurses office).  It is important that we hear from a parent/guardian. 
Clover Pride
Congratulations to the school for showing Clover PRIDE.  We had over 5,000 Catch-a-Clovers which filled the PRIDE Tower.  Superhero day, Oct. 28, was fabulous.  It was so much fun seeing all the heroes walking and flying around CRE.  (Thanks student council for a great idea.)  Also, the students were able to practice Yoga Power Poses to demonstrate strength and confidence.
 
School has been in session for over 2 months now.  Clover PRIDE is seen every day.  Students are Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Cooperative.  We hope that your child has come home excited about a Catch-a-Clover or two.  Our goal is 5 to 1 ratio for students receiving positive feedback to corrective.  Last month, students received Catch-a-Clovers at a 3.4/student ratio.
 
Clover PRIDE is a Department of Education supported program of PBIS (Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports).  With that, we are trying to provide opportunities for feedback from students, staff, and families.  Students were surveyed about how safe they feel and if there was an adult they can trust at school.  The following link is for parents to provide feedback around the idea of safety at school.  Thank you for your time in providing CRE with any insights.
 



 1st & 2nd Grade Hoe Down
DATE:  Friday, November 18th, 2016
TIME: 1st Grade Hoe Down - 2:15pm-2:45pm
          2nd Grade Hoe Down - 3:15pm-3:45pm
LOCATION:  Clover Ridge Gym
Hi Parents!  Your child is practicing square dancing for the next couple of weeks and they will be excited to "show what they know!"  You are cordially invited to come see!  Each grade will have their own performance time, as shown above.  We realize that some of you may need to make arrangements to come see this during your work schedule, so this is kind of a heads-up in case you would like to join us.  This tends to be a fun event for grandparents as well!  You will need to check in at the office when you arrive.  If you have some western attire at home, such as jeans, skirts, bandanas, boots, cowboy hats, etc., you are encouraged to have your child bring it the day of the Hoe Down, but please do not feel obligated to purchase any western gear as this is optional only.  Hope you can make it ya'll!
