Dear CDE Families,

I wanted to make you aware that Cairo-Durham Elementary School will be conducting two fire drills this upcoming week as part of our ongoing safety procedures. These drills are an important opportunity for our students and staff to practice our emergency procedures and ensure everyone knows what to do in the event of an emergency. We will work to make the drills as calm and routine as possible for our students.

Thank you for your continued support as we work to keep our school community safe!

Sincerely,

Monet Halliday
CDES Principal

Welcome to Mustang Monthly! 🐎💙

We’re excited to launch Mustang Monthly, a new district newsletter designed to help our Cairo-Durham community stay connected and informed throughout the school year.

As we prepare to welcome students back on Sept. 8, Mustang Monthly will serve as a central hub for news, events, updates and resources from across the district. Each edition will feature a mix of school and district news, important notices, athletics, music, student and staff highlights, helpful resources, and more.

The September edition includes a welcome message from Dr. Schips, a school tax update, an introduction to Middle School Flex Period, our new agriculture program, a message from our elementary administrators, helpful links, and more.

New editions will be shared during the first week of each month through our usual communication channels.

We hope Mustang Monthly becomes a valuable resource for students, families, faculty, staff and community members!

Read the September edition here!
