We love our school, it is like a second home for my kids. Carlos Elementary has such a warm welcome when you set foot in the building you feel like you belong. My kids know everyone in school, and say everyone is friends. The staff at CES do such a great job at creating relationships with each child. As a parent I feel connected to the CES community & love when the whole school gets together for school events. We can't say enough positive things about our experience at Carlos Elementary School- we love it!
