If restrictions are still in place on our final date set, we will host a virtual graduation. We will make timely announcements as we get closer to each date.

Dear Wildcat Family,
Our school's Scrip program is a great fundraiser for our Pounding the Pavement program. A portion of the proceeds is also given to the Cedar Bluffs Education Foundation.
We are about 1 month or so from rolling out our next phase of Scrip cards.
We are looking for about 10 more individuals who would be willing to purchase cards online and then patiently wait 2 weeks or so to receive them. Jeff Bell, Becky Nielsen, Janelle Prchal, Cameo Sweeney, and Jen Wolsleben have already volunteered.
We are trying to get all the kinks worked out of the system with a sample group before we roll it out to the entire community.
If you would be interested in participating in our one or two trial runs, please contact Greg Brousek at 402-719-1630 or greg.brousek@cbwildcats.org

Current plans are that the elementary (PK-6) will continue with enrichment packets. Dates, times and location for drop and pick up will be determined and communicated by March 25th. Middle and High school Teachers will have information and expectations posted on Canvas for 7-12th grade by March 25th. Lessons will begin on March 30th.

Congratulations to Mikya Fox for earning an Honorable Mention Award on her Yearbook Layout in the Nebraska Press Women's High School Communications Contest. Students, Remember to purchase your yearbooks by April 1st to get the early bird rate of just $30! Order forms are in the office.
Dear Cedar Bluffs Families,
Tonight at approximately 9pm, I received an email from the ESU2. They are following guidance from Three Rivers Health. The State of Nebraska has elevated the risk assessment this evening and therefore it has been recommended that ESU2 area schools close Tuesday, March 17 for approximately two weeks. As you know this is a fluid situation and will continue to be monitored moving forward.
Cedar Bluffs will have a regular school day on Monday March 16th where students and teachers will report to Cedar Bluffs to clean out lockers, get all personal items and computers checked out as we prepare for the unknown. Buses will run accordingly but there will be no after school program. This is unchartered territory for everyone involved and we will do our best to communicate through our traditional channels as we work to develop a remote instruction as well as a feeding program so we can continue to serve our students and families. All activities will also be suspended until further notice. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the school. I am truly sorry for this late notice as this situation continues to rapidly change.
Press Release 3-13-2020
Today, March 13, 2020 Governor Ricketts had a press conference that included the Commissioner of Education, Health Professionals and many School superintendents. What was communicated was that right now, we have “no community spread” and therefore the Governor will not close Schools by region until such time as that definition has been reached, if it is ever reached. Furthermore, the Commissioner of Education has urged schools to remain open because not only do schools provide an education for students and the community but they provide overall student care in the areas of nutrition, health and a safe place for children for those parents who are required to continue to provide services to the others in our State. Although this situation continues to be fluid, Cedar Bluffs Public School will continue to be open as scheduled with minor modifications including no self-serve salad bar, non-essential field trips and activities may be postponed and communicated through our district communications. Middle School students and students with an IEP will be given their laptops or Ipads today to be sent home in case there is a need for remote education and services in the future. For next week, the Parent Teacher Conferences will continue as scheduled, however the senior vs. staff basketball game scheduled for Thursday and the Saturday track meet has been postponed to a later date.
On another note, those in Fremont please understand that the quarantine is over on March 14th and although Fremont Public Schools is not back in session next week because they are on spring break, as of now they are allowing track practice, speech meets and other large social gatherings starting Monday March 16th in the school just as they have every year while on spring break.
The State Leadership Conferences/Conventions for Nebraska Department of Education student organizations have been canceled.
This includes:
· DECA (March 18-21)
· HOSA (March 22-24)
· Educators Rising (March 25)
· FBLA (March 30-April 1)
· FFA (April 1-3)
· SkillsUSA (April 2-4)
· FCCLA (April 5-7)
The University of Nebraska Extension has been contracted by the Department of Health and Human Services to conduct a community health analysis. Their aim is to gather information from residents of Saunders County in an effort to uncover the barriers and challenges experienced in regards to accessing health services. Please see flyer below for meetings in and around our area if you are interested.

Dear Cedar Bluffs Public School Family,
By now you’ve probably seen the news about the COVID-19 virus and potential exposure in Fremont, resulting in the closure of Fremont Schools and the University. The health and safety of our students and staff is a priority. Our administration has been in contact with Three River’s Health, the Saunders County Emergency Management Director, the Nebraska Department of Education, the Fremont YMCA, and the Superintendent of Fremont Public Schools. The Cedar Bluffs Crisis Team will continue to monitor this fluid situation and once we have gathered the necessary guidance a coordinated effort will be made to release information regarding schools in the surrounding area including Cedar Bluffs.
Did You Know: Cedar Bluffs has had 55 athletes honored with Academic All-State awards in the last four years? Pretty Outstanding.

We have also started a new reward system for the Kids First Program. The teachers have Wildcat Bucks cards to hand out to each student when they are seen showing our PRIDE characteristics. They write their name down and the card goes into a bucket. On Fridays we draw a name from each age group and they will get a prize and their picture taken which is hung up on the board. The teachers will also chose a Star student for the week that has set a great example for our students. That student will receive a prize, get their picture taken.

The "Buddy Bench" has officially been installed on the Elementary playground! Again, this bench is in remembrance of the many teachers who portrayed true kindness to all students. It serves as a way to reach out and help those in need. Here are the three rules for the bench;
1. Only sit on the bench if you need someone to play with or just need a friend at recess.
2. If you see someone sitting on the bench, talk to them and invite them to play.
3. If you are sitting on the bench and someone invites you to pay, say "yes."
This special bench reminds us all how important it is to be kind and serves as a reminder than we are all dealing with something different. Choose to be kind, always!
We saw Winnie the Pooh and crew today at school!

Cedar Bluffs Public School will be installing a “Buddy Bench” in our playground this fall. This bench is in remembrance of the many teachers who portrayed true kindness to all students. It serves as a way to reach out and help those in need. There are only three rules regarding the bench:
1. Only sit on the bench if you need someone to play with or just need a friend at recess.
2. If you see someone sitting on the bench, talk to the them and invite them to play.
3. If you are sitting on the bench and someone invites you to play, say “yes”.
Friends make everything better. But we may not always know how to make friends, or how to ask for help. This special bench reminds us all how important it is to be kind. We are all dealing with something and we can all benefit from the kindness of others. We all win when we reach out and make new friends.

To all of our Wildcat family we are in need of your assistance. We are searching for any pictures you may have with students and Mrs. Sukstorf for her memorial. If you happen to have any pictures please email them to dawn.hansen@cbwildcats.org. Thank you for your help.
Funeral Service for Tammy Sukstorf will be at 11 A.M., Friday, July 12, 2019 at St. Matthew Lutheran Church in Cedar Bluffs. Visitation will be Thursday, July 11, 2019 from 4 P.M. to 8 P.M, with family receiving friends from 6 P.M. to 8 P.M. at St. Matthew Lutheran Church. Visitation will continue 1 hour prior to the service at church. Burial will be at Union Cemetery.
Principal Ben Hansen states, “Tammy was not only a great person but a great teacher. The teaching profession is not easy and the challenges that kids bring to the table over the course of a school year are countless, but Tammy always found a way to connect with her students. Many teachers are great in many ways, but Tammy was special. Her kindness, patience, compassion, and care for her students ran deep. No matter how challenging a student was, or how difficult a class, she remained poised and always worked to figure out how to personally connect with a student. She was able to do this because students truly felt loved and cared for by her. Tammy could often be seen with an arm around a student, a high five being given, or even tear up with pride when sharing something a student accomplished. She was born to be a teacher and had the personal intangibles that made her able to connect with kids beyond content and made them feel safe, secure and loved. She was a model employee who worked hard, took pride in being a teacher, did what she was asked and was constantly trying to improve. It is a tremendous loss to our school and she will be greatly missed for many years to come.”
If you were unable to attend the grief sessions at the school today but would still like to meet with our counselor Tommy Gerrish, please call the school to set up an appointment.
Dear Parents, Patrons, and Students,
It with great sadness that we inform you of the tragic loss of our second-grade teacher Mrs. Tammy Sukstorf. Tammy has taught at Cedar Bluffs Elementary School since 1994, touching so many lives in the process. We understand that many of you are grieving and we as a school would like to help with that process. The school will be open today at 2:00 p.m. where crisis counselors will be available for any students or parents that just need a comforting place. Please enter through the High School doors, as construction in the Elementary area makes it unsafe for travel.

Attention Bus Riding Families: To try and improve our programs on an ongoing basis we will begin to have bus monitors on some of our more populated bus routes. Monitors will be observing student behaviors and working to enforce bus safety protocols and referrals for unwanted and unsafe behaviors. They will also be evaluating procedures and identifying ways we can improve. If your child comes home and talks about a new adult on their bus and rule changes taking place, this will be why. We hope providing a set of eyes on the bus other than the just the driver's will help the overall atmosphere and safety for our buses.

Dear Cedar Bluffs Families,
I would like to thank you for your support and patience during this unusual time. I know a lot of people have had questions about what “closed indefinitely” means. It has been very difficult to estimate a return date to school given the wide spread destruction. Now that the Nebraska Department of Transportation is opening roads, we are planning on having school Thursday March 21, 2019 with bus routes as usual. We are attempting to call all families in the impacted area to assess needs. If you are in an impacted area and you have not received a call by 6pm tonight, please contact the school Wednesday so we can account for all of our families. Our Crisis team will still be meeting Friday to continue to plan for the relief efforts. The link to the private needs request form is on the Schools Facebook page; if you were unable to access the form please call the school directly at 402-628-2080. Again, thank you for all of your support and understanding.
This private form is designated for our Wildcat families and staff that reside in impact areas of the historic flooding that has taken place. We would like to help in any way possible. Please list any items and/or assistance we can provide to help you in the coming days, weeks, and months and we will do our best to assist you through this difficult time. See link below:
https://goo.gl/forms/0v1YoYLDKsD001s53
Over 200 students and nearly half of our teachers and staff are unable to safely get to school at this time. Therefore, Cedar Bluffs Public Schools will be closed indefinitely to allow time for families and staff to make safety their priority. All sports, activities, meetings, and youth sports will also be cancelled. The Crisis team will re-evaluate the situation on Friday, March 22nd and will provide additional information at that time.
Our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by this terrible natural disaster, especially members of the Wildcat family that reside in Fremont, North Bend, and other surrounding areas. We would like to offer our support in any way possible, if there is anything the school or community could assist with, please contact Mr.Ptomey at Harlan.ptomey@cbwildcats.org.
Attention Families: On Tuesday, March 19th at 9:30 we will be having an assembly for 4th-12th grade students. The content will be covering bullying, cyber bullying, and being a courageous leader to influence more positivity among peers. Parents are welcome to attend as well. Please just contact the school ahead of time so we can do our best to plan for enough seating. The following is the summary provided to us by the presenter.
Mark & Joni Adler will discuss with students the journey of their son Reid. Reid shared with them that he was having suicidal thoughts just over one month’s time when on January 7, 2016, Reid took his own life changing the lives of many forever. Reid was the victim of intimidation and cyber bullying, a situation his parents knew nothing about until after his passing. Mark & Joni will challenge students to stand up for each other and not allow any type of bullying or inappropriate treatment between students. The final focus will be on using courage and leadership as tools in spreading Hope and Kindness to everyone we encounter, an approach Reid lived and exemplified daily!
