ELC at George Earle Weekly Update

We will be holding our Annual Title I Parent Meeting on Thursday 9/25/25. Our principal, Mrs. Gutierrez is inviting Families to join us virtually at 10:30 AM via Zoom (link below) or attend in person at ELC at 4:00 PM in Room 13. We hope to see you there!

You should have all received a letter in the mail this week with all the important information on Title I. We need ALL parents to sign and return that letter to school in your child's folder ASAP! The home school compact is shown below for reference.

I Promise by LeBron James is more than just a book—it's a heartfelt reminder to children that they are full of potential, worthy of love, and capable of achieving great things. Inspired by his real life I PROMISE School, LeBron shares a powerful message about responsibility, perseverance, and believing in yourself even when things get tough.

This book is important because it encourages kids to dream big, work hard, and stay kind to themselves and to others. For families, it opens the door to meaningful conversations about values, self-confidence, and the importance of community. All kindergarteners will be coming home with their own copy. Together, we can remind our children that no matter where they come from, they can become anything they set their minds to, because every child has a promise inside them waiting to shine.

As part of early literacy screening, Kindergarten students will participate in a brief Dyslexia Screener later this month. This helps us identify early reading needs so we can better support every child’s growth. It’s quick, age-appropriate, and administered in a calm, supportive environment.

Did you know that you as parents can nominate a staff member to be recognized as someone who is Being Excellent On Purpose? Dr. Buffington LOVES to know about and celebrate the positive!

October 3rd marks Time Out for Reading Day — a special day dedicated to celebrating the joy and power of reading. Across the country, schools, workplaces, and families are encouraged to take a meaningful break from their routines to enjoy a good book. Whether it’s for 10 minutes or half an hour, this is your reminder to slow down, unplug, and get lost in a great story. So on October 3rd, take a time out — and read!

Each month, our classrooms compete to collect the most Strack's grocery receipts, and the winning class is recognized and celebrated! It’s a fun way to build school spirit while supporting our students. Every receipt you send in helps us earn dollars that go directly toward classroom items that support your child’s learning like books, supplies, and educational materials. Let’s work together to make a difference one receipt at a time!
