CES parents maintain a robust PTO that, while independent of the school, encourages ongoing faculty/staff participation at their monthly meetings, usually taking place on the second Thursday 6:30 – 8:00pm via Zoom (links via email lists). Their goals are to support CES programs, expand student learning opportunities, and improve school climate. Their fundraising efforts allow them to offer grants from faculty/staff three times a year.
