This month, we’re highlighting Habit 6: Synergize—the power of working together! At our school, students are learning that teamwork isn’t just about dividing up tasks, it’s about valuing each other’s ideas, strengths, and differences to create something even better together. Synergizing is a key step in leadership because it shifts the focus from ME to WE, helping students see that collaboration leads to greater success than working alone. You can encourage this habit at home by looking for opportunities to solve problems or complete projects as a family team. When we celebrate each other’s unique contributions, everyone wins!

Our district is excited to offer free summer activity vouchers for all EESD students currently enrolled TK–7th grades, thanks to a partnership with Redding Recreation and the Redding Aquatic Center! Families can sign up for a voucher (valued up to $205) by clicking here!

It's that time of year when Lost and Found starts to pile up! Our days start off a little cooler but by the afternoon it gets warm and students start pulling off their sweatshirts and coats, leaving them around campus!

Parents, if your student's closet is looking a little thin, maybe some sweatshirts or jackets are missing, please check out the Lost and Found! All unclaimed items get donated.

Wednesday, April 9th is Parsons Invasion Day for 5th grade students. This is a fun event for students so we hope all 5th graders are able to attend.
