π IMPORTANT REMINDERS π
Lunch Snacks π½οΈπ
Dear Parents,
In our ongoing effort to promote healthier eating habits, we kindly ask that you limit unhealthy snack choices in your child's lunch. Specifically, family-sized chip bags and similar snacks will not be allowed. π«
Research shows that a nutritious diet plays a vital role in children's overall health, well-being, and academic performance. Unhealthy snacks can lead to issues such as decreased focus, energy levels, and long-term health risks. π By providing healthier options, we can support our students in achieving their best both in and out of the classroom. πβ¨
We encourage you to opt for health-smart snack choices like fresh fruits π, vegetables π₯, yogurt, or whole-grain options.
π Weekly Attendance Review - Goal is 97% π
Regular attendance is key to your child's academic success. Missing school means missing important lessons and interactions.
EVERY DAY COUNTS!
To ensure absences are excused, please provide a doctor's note for any missed days. This is a new requirement for the 2024-2025 school year. If student is absent parent must send an email to moye_notes@episd.org
Your support in maintaining consistent attendance helps keep your child on track and thriving.
Our weekly goal is 97%!
We can do it!
