Cuba Elementary School

Mrs. Cunningham’s class completed a series of five lessons on erosion and the Earth’s surface. During the lessons, students developed a model of the earth’s surface and used it to discover an important principle about how rivers work. They also investigated the effects of rocks tumbling in a river, explored flash floods, made hypotheses and investigated the causes of canyons, and compared multiple solutions for preventing erosion.

The district had its 1st Annual District Wide Chili Cook-off! A big thank you to the Cuba Fire Protection District for being our wonderful judges and all they do for the district and community! District Champion: Mr. Cross 2nd Place and “Most Chili Eaten” Award: Mrs. Gilliam 3rd Place: Mr. Stahlman

Families, You all know how to sell chocolate! Due to a high volume to hand out, and some staff shortages today, not all candy was passed out. We will prioritize any students that brought in forms today while passing out candy tomorrow. Thank you for your support and patience!

Families, We had a minor difficulty with chocolate delivery this morning, but all fundraiser chocolate will be sent home tomorrow!

Students are enjoying partner teaching with fractions on this cloudy day in Ms. Hall's class!

Mrs. Eaton is excited to announce that Cuba Elementary now has a Student Sharing Library! Your child may choose 1-2 books to take, and may leave appropriate children’s books if he or she would like to. Donating is not mandatory to participate, and please make sure to not put library books in the bin! The Sharing Library is open after 4:30 pm on week nights, and all day during weekends and holidays. A big thanks to Mrs. Eaton for this cool addition to the school!

Our lost and found is filling up! If you notice any of these coats belong to to your child please let the office know, thanks!

We recognize that our community is very interested in the Board’s discussion of Policy 2115 and want to provide you with an update regarding the status of this policy. We appreciated the presentation in open session from our legal counsel during which she shared the state of the law applicable to this policy. The Board later met in closed session with its counsel to receive additional guidance and advice regarding the Board’s requested changes discussed during the October open session meeting. Our legal counsel will be providing a revised Board Policy 2115 that reflects the Board’s vote during the October meeting. This revised policy will be presented to the Board for formal approval at the Board’s regular December meeting. We are excited to see our students the next three school days as we move into the holiday week. We hope that everyone has a safe and peaceful Thanksgiving. Dr. Scott Davidson and the Crawford County R-2 Board of Education
