Dear Parents and Guardians of CES Students,
Out of an abundance of caution and at the request of local law enforcement, Confidence Elementary was placed in secure status at approximately 1:55 p.m. today due to an incident happening outside of the building and miles down the road. The secure status lasted about 15 minutes. All school operations have now returned to normal.
What is the Secure Action?
The Secure Action is called when there is a threat or hazard outside of the school building. Secure uses the security of the physical facility to act as protection. During Secure, all students and staff are brought into the secure building and all doors are locked.

Tomorrow, Thursday, Sept. 5, is the first Choir Club practice after school. Students in fourth and fifth grade who are interested in joining will stay after school until 3:45.

Students must have a permission slip signed and turned in to be allowed to stay tomorrow. Have a great evening!
