Please bear with us as we strive to improve our site!

CESU schools are in the process of transitioning websites to another provider. Due to this work our sites will be under construction for a period of time. We'll work hard to get those up and running smoothly as soon as we can. If you need to access school information such as calendar, contact information, etc. please feel free to visit the district page at http://www.cesuvt.org/, continue to follow our social media feeds or give us a call. We'd be glad to assist.

OPEN

Here's hoping you all have a safe and fun-filled summer! See you in August!

Thanks for the training, Alex Bouchard!

Our P.E. classes had a special visitor last week. Kelly Spreen invited Mr. Alex Bouchard, a member of the United States Tennis Association, to help our students learn the techniques of playing tennis. Alex had students practicing their serves and their returns. Students also learned important vocabulary words related to the game, including the language of keeping score.
