Seesaw is a digital portfolio that students will use to showcase what they are learning and doing at school and share with their family.
Once Seesaw is activated for this school year, returning families will use their same account. Access codes and instructions for creating parent Seesaw accounts will be sent home to new ECC parents during the first two weeks of school.

To create a cohesive, welcoming community, we would like to share and celebrate the multitude of cultures among our families here at CDS. Below are questions to give you an opportunity to share a bit about your family.
Please share as little or as much information and pictures about your family. With this information we will create a slideshow (like the example slide below) that will be displayed to our community in International Square.

Middle School Shakespeare Festival
March 1, 2023
9:15 am - 3:00 pm
The Shakespeare Festival is a long-standing CDS tradition. The costumes do not have to be elaborate. Click here for additional wardrobe ideas.
What could make Shakespeare Festival even sweeter?
A pie in the face!
During the month of February, Middle School students will donate money towards the staff member they want to see get pied. The 3 teachers who "raise" the most will take a pie to the face during Shakespeare Festival. All donations will be given to Way to Battle, a non-profit organization that supports children and families battling through hardship. Way to Battle sends dog stuffed animals, called Battle Pups, to those in need of comfort. The organization was created by 10 year old, Brady Martin, as he himself battles an extremely rare form of leukemia. Brady is the nephew of Middle School Spanish teacher, Mrs. Byers. You can learn more about Brady and the organization at waytobattle.com.
