Important CGPS Update - School is closed on Thursday, January 29, 2026. The side roads are still too icy and dangerous for the buses. Thursday will be a traditional snow day for students and staff. Even though our school district remains closed on Thursday, we want to take a moment to say thank you to our maintenance team. They have been working hard in the cold to clear the snow from our school sidewalks and parking lots. Please thank them when you see them after school opens again!

As we prepare for report cards to be sent home in January, we wanted to send a quick reminder about an important change in our elementary reporting.
This quarter marks the first time that students in grades K-6 will be formally scored on our Portrait of a Graduate skills.
The Portrait of a Graduate outlines the essential skills and qualities we want all students to build for success. These scores will now appear on elementary report cards to give you a clearer picture of your child's growth in these critical areas.
As you receive your child’s first progress report on Portrait of a Graduate skills, please keep in mind that it is common for younger students to receive a score of 1 (Not Meeting Expectations) or 2 (Approaching Expectations). This does not mean they are failing. Many of these skills are complex skills that students are just learning to practice and should master by the end of 6th grade.
To review the rubrics used in grades K-4 or to learn more about the Portrait of a Graduate, please use the links below:
