Dear Cedaredge Elementary School Families,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year! Whether your family is returning to CES or joining our Bruin community for the very first time, I am absolutely thrilled to welcome you to what promises to be an incredible year of learning, growth, and community.

Our teachers and staff work hard to prepare classrooms that are safe, engaging, and ready for discovery. At CES, we are deeply committed to fostering an environment where every student feels valued, challenged, and supported. We believe that education is a partnership between the school and the home, and we can’t wait to work alongside you to help your child thrive.

🐾 Living the Bruin PRIDE Way

This year, we are placing a special focus on teaching and practicing our Bruin PRIDE traits. We believe these aren't just school rules, but foundational life skills that will serve our students long after they leave our halls:

• Perseverance – Pushing through challenges and never giving up when things get tough.
• Respect – Treating ourselves, others, and our environment with kindness and care.
• Integrity – Doing the right thing, even when no one is watching.
• Duty – Taking responsibility for our actions and doing our part for our community.
• Excellence – Always striving to do our personal best in everything we tackle.

By practicing these traits daily, our Bruins learn how to be resilient leaders and compassionate citizens. We appreciate your partnership in reinforcing these values at home!

My door is always open. Please never hesitate to reach out with questions, ideas, or just to say hello. Together, we are going to make this a fantastic year for our Bruins!

Thank you for trusting us with your children. Let’s make it a wonderful year ahead!

Warmly,

Holly Rupp, Principal
