<h3>Principal’s Message:</h3>
<p>I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday! It is hard to believe it is already<br />
December!</p>
<p>November brought many successful activities&#8230;Parent conferences, the book fair, Harvest for<br />
the Hungry Food Drive, and Dimes for Dollars fundraiser. Thank you for your support!</p>
<p>We thank the PTO for purchasing new chairs for the Computer Lab.</p>
<p>December brings the much anticipated Holiday Programs. Our Strings and Orchestra Concert is scheduled for December 5 at 7:00 p.m. Our Chorus and Band Concert is scheduled for<br />
December 15 at 7:00 p.m. Ms. McCusker, Mrs. Prigelmiller, and their students have spent many<br />
hours practicing in class and after school in preparation of the concerts. Please plan to come out for<br />
an evening of festive music!</p>
<p>Enjoy the upcoming holiday season. We look forward to seeing you in 2012!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We have reached just beyond the halfway point in the first marking period. Thank you for the tremendous support you demonstrated during our Back-to-School Night. Cape St. Claire Elementary’s busy schedule of events continues, as you will see from the contents of this newsletter.</p>
<p>As always, this school year would not have had such a smooth start without the help of our PTO. The officers and committee chairs spend hours and hours supporting the initiatives and efforts of Cape St. Claire Elementary. From fundraising to beautification, to providing assemblies and technology equipment, hospitality and many more activities that support our students, staff, and community. Please support our PTO!</p>
<p><strong>Construction Update: </strong>The construction is 4 weeks behind due to the weather condition. The<br />
construction fence will be relocated giving us access to the bike rack. This should take place within the next 2 weeks.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome Back!!! We look forward to another great year for our school and community. The mission of Cape St. Claire Elementary is to create and maintain an environment that promotes academic success and responsible citizenship as measured by county, state and national standards. We are dedicated to differentiating Instruction, maintaining high expectations and collaborating in professional learning communities.<span id="more-722"></span></p>
<p><strong>MSA SUCCESS!!!</strong> Cape St. Claire opens this year with great news about Maryland School Assessment (MSA) scores. Our third, fourth and fifth grades made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) on the MSA as defined by the Maryland Department of Education. As a staff, we are proud of our gains and will work hard this year to ensure the continued success of all students. I know that every family will support us in this effort. MSA scores were released over the summer and some parents have come to the school to retrieve their child(ren) „s scores. If you have not picked up the MSA reports, they will be sent home with students in grades 4 and 5 on Wednesday, September 7th.</p>
<p><strong>BACK TO SCHOOL NIGHT</strong> will be held on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. Parents are asked to report directly to their child‟s classroom upon arriving in the building. I have scheduled two visitation rotations to enable parents with more than one child to visit each of their child‟s classrooms. We will also attempt to allow parking on the field for the evening – weather permitting.</p>
<p><strong>TRAFFIC SAFETY UPDATE</strong><br />
When parking in the “Overflow” area on the field to pick up students at dismissal time, please use either the crosswalk to the left of the building near the playground or the crosswalk by the stop sign at the entrance of the bus loop.</p>
<p><strong>KINDERGARTEN CONSTRUCTION UPDATE</strong><br />
Construction for the new wing is underway.</p>
