Earlier this morning, a Tornado Warning was briefly issued in our area. All schools immediately activated emergency protocols for adverse weather. The Warning has now been lifted, and school operations will proceed as normal. A Tornado Watch has been issued for the Great Falls area.
All students are currently safe at school. CCSD will continue monitoring local weather conditions and send any updates as needed.
We ask that everyone continue to exercise caution as they are traveling throughout the day.


February is the month of love and with some guidance from Cupid, Mrs. Shaw, Mrs. Barron, and Ms. Wright were able to come up with a simple, fun, and educational project to show love and kindness! To make this project have the most meaningful and memorable impact, they decided to have LES students write letters, valentines, or color pictures for an Army unit that was recently deployed for 18 months. In total, 200 letters and coloring pages along with 4 large boxes of much needed supplies were shipped out by Mrs. Shaw! What a beautiful way for LES students and staff to show love and kindness and leave their mark on the world!
