The first week of September will be a busy one for us, as will the entire month. Here are some reminders:
- Thursday, September 3 is high school open house. We will begin at 5:30 with a welcome and introductions. You will then follow a bell schedule visiting each class and meeting the teachers.
- Monday, September 14 is the day for celebrating Costa Rican Independence. Our Spanish department will feature students performing traditional dance and marking the occasion with a variety of informative presentations.
- Tuesday, September 15 is Independence Day. School will be closed.
- Wednesday, September 23 is a professional development day for all CDS teachers. Students will be dismissed at noon.
- Thursday, September 24 – 27 is the AASCA leadership conference hosted by Lincoln School in Costa Rica. 9 CDS students and the Student Council advisor, Mr. Joe Brunson, will represent CDS at this event.
- Saturday, September 26, from 10:00 until 1:00 is the annual family picnic. This is a major fundraiser for all of our clubs. Come and support our students and enjoy a family day of food, sports, music, and fun. Highlights include the first performance of our school band; games and activities for the kids; the annual student/parent soccer match; and a blood drive. If you can donate blood, bring your ID and help with this important cause.
- Watch the panther by the flag pole. When he is wearing a red bandanna it means CDS has a home sporting event. There is a bulletin board at the entrance of the school, just outside the director’s office, announcing the upcoming games. Come out and cheer on our athletes.
Will there be classes on the 14th, or just celebration activities? Thank you.
Yes, we will run a shortened schedule and eliminate electives so that we have time for the celebration activities. All core classes will meet that day. We will post the shortened schedule around school so students know.
