Great morning people! Hope everyone is doing well. We discuss the phrase/words - Big Rocks. What big rocks do you have in your life? What is something you want to accomplish, achieve? Also, reminder that NEHS is meeting today during 5th grade lunch/recess in Mr. Conner's room. Yes, it happened again - Elsa was caught over the weekend. Check out the security footage from the latest. I think some of the evidence might still be in the area too. However, I couldn't find her upon entering the school. Have a super day all of you!
Good morning all! Wishing everyone a remarkable Friday and a great weekend! We have another week of school before a much-needed break! I do want to continue to thank all our staff and families - you have been remarkable.

Good morning all! Again, we are entering day 4 of 10 days without kids. The teachers/staff are restless too:) We miss our kids but are optimistic we shall see everyone again Wednesday, Nov. 11th. Our word of the week - vision. What a powerful word. I know it is tough for a 7-year old to have a vision, but it is fun to hear that at their age and see how it changes over the years. I celebrate Caydence's birthday, discuss the 'falling back' of clocks, and share some 'This Day in History' for all those history buffs. Have a great day all! If you need anything, please reach out to your child's teacher or the office.
Great morning to each of you! I hope you are good. Just a couple of birthday celebrations from yesterday and for upcoming days. Also, I ramble a little about the 'purpose' of our current situation. Thanks for listening. #Community
Good morning all! We discuss several great things going on. Our word of the week, purpose, and a couple of birthdays. Walk-A-Thon is Thursday - we are still accepting donations to benefit our student fund. Every donation helps! Have a great day! Also, Red Ribbon Week - all week! Tomorrow is 'wear black' so be sure to wear black on Wednesday!
Great morning crew! Hoping everyone had a restful Fall Break. Our walk-a-thon will be Thursday - rain or shine. If needed, we will do an abridged 'abridged' walk-a-thon within our hallways....if rain/cold is here. Also, we gave out several awards to grade levels for The Golden PIG, The Oracle Flag, and The Golden Spatula. Ask your child if his grade won. Also, there is a PTA meeting(s) tonight - there is a virtual one and an 'in person' one - check out more information on the CECC & DCES FB page. Also, we have several spirit days this week! Today, wear red, Tuesday wear camo, Wednesday wear black, Thursday wear a hat, and on Friday, wear a safe (non-scary) costume! This is all part of our Red Ribbon Week!
Reminder that tomorrow (10/16) is an eLearning date. Thank you parents for your support. Also, next week is Fall Break. Please 'synergize' and invest in yourself, get out, have some fun. Walk-a-thon is tentatively rescheduled for the Thursday upon our return. Students can still bring in donations and still earn the prize. Will I go with a non-red hair day soon? We shall see. We are getting closer! Congrats to our 4th grade students for earning the 1st 9 week's spirit trophy. Kudos to you! Other awards will be announced upon our return after break. Have a great day! #OraclePride
Great morning all! So good to have everyone back in our learning community under one roof. Nothing better than having everyone here. Due to anticipated rain tomorrow morning, we are pushing the DCES walk-a-thon back to after Fall Break. Yes, please still collect donations and turn them in. We are short our $8,000 DCES goal. However, if we hit it OR Mr. Shidler see's a 'majority' of our students contribute SOMETHING to the cause, he may allow his lush red hair to not be red for a day (or more). We are a team. So, either we hit the big $ goal OR we see greater participation. I am in it for YOU to win it! Reminder that Friday is an eLearning day and we have Fall Break next week. Have a GREAT day! #OraclePride
Good morning crew! Hoping everyone had a great weekend. I did the Corn Maze - yes, I feel all of that in my legs! Anyway, talk about a few things in today's 4 1/2 minute podcast - check it out!

Friday you say? And just like that........looking forward to a great day! Read several notes from Mrs. Anderson/Miss Irelan's class this morning - many students shared 'what' they are responsible for. I will share more on Monday. Last day of book fair is today. Our walk-a-thon is picking up steam - numerous kids walked out with their uber-cool bracelet yesterday - how many more students will earn this? How many students will 'synergize' to see if we reach our goal as a school? Will Mr. Shidler go at least a day without red hair? Oh, my.......................................that is all I have known.
Welcome to Thursday! Hoping everyone has a great day. Thanks to Isabell H for sharing her list of responsibilities - it was well done! Also, reminder about 'synergizing' and working together as a learning community. #OraclePride

Several birthdays to celebrate today too (4 in all). Enjoy a great week - each and every one of you!
Friday? Wow! Today, I recognize the 15 members of the National Elementary Honor Society - this recognition is based on academics and leadership - we had great kids nominated - very tough to narrow it down. Kudos to those nominated and those selected. Remember that the Fall Scholastic Book Fair is next week during school hours. We celebrate several student and staff birthdays. Have a great weekend all! #OraclePride
Also, walk-a-thon money.......................................................be sure to collect and turn in. Wondering if my hair will become a different color? #ChallengeAccepted

Welcome to Friday!
Hard to believe, but we hit it! Thank you parents for all you do for our school and students! We value you! We have several birthdays over the next few days. Also, information is being shared soon about our annual Walk-A-Thon. The walk-a-thon is really our only fundraiser. Those funds 100% go back into the Student Activity Fund. As a school, we have no revenue stream for thus fund UNLESS we fund raise. I encourage you to have some ways to reach out, get $10 here, $20 here, and so forth. IF we hit our school-wide goal, Mr. Shidler, the lovable red-headed guy you know, will NO LONGER be red-headed. What will he do? Have a great day and a super weekend all!

Dear Diary,
Day 3 of eLearning. The natives are restless, but we are coming through stronger than ever.

We do not have school next week and resume eLearning the week of March 30 (more to be shared officially soon).
Keep those letters and art pieces coming to either/both St. Elizabeth Healthcare and/or Carroll Manor. Let's spread some love to our residents at the nursing home. I challenge you! Let me see a picture of you working on that! I also shared some questions for families to consider with one another. I have attached a link with those question - check them out and have some fun - how well can you answer the questions about your child(ren)?
Thank you all for working together. We truly miss our kids in a traditional setting. My office is boring.

Good morning DCES! Hoping everyone is great today. Remember, our word of the week is courage. How do you show courage? Also, several birthdays today, so be sure to listen to that. Reminder, I challenge our students/families to write letters to either nursing home - Carroll Manor OR St. Elizabeth Healthcare. Write a friendly letter and/or draw/color an inspiring picture. Actually mail that letter - it will do all of our hearts good:) Reminder, lunch will be provided at both CECC and DCHS from 10-12 today. We will pass out lunches from 10-12 today and plan to deliver lunches/breakfast via the bus tomorrow (Thursday). The buses will run their routs but run them around the lunch hour Thursday. The idea being that the routes/drivers know where their kids live and we can provide food. This will of course happen near the lunch hour. And also note that term 3 (T3) report cards have been posted to Skyward. Parents, log in to Skyward, click Family Access, select portfolio on the left side, and choose T3 2019-2020. There you will see grades from the last 9 weeks.
As always, if you need anything, reach out to your child's teacher. We have eLearning this week yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Spring break begins Friday and lasts through next week. Remember, when we come back on March 30th, we are not back yet in traditional schooling. We will share more information about that returning week (March 30-April 3) as we get closer to that time. However, at this time, we are OUT that week with a combination of eLearning and days off. #InThisTogether
