• Backpack tags were sent home last week. Those need to be placed on the top loop of every child's backpack for the rest of the year. This tag is used for bus transportation, including field trips.
• Breakaway lanyards came in this week. Student IDs are distributed in the morning and collected each afternoon. They will not go home this year.
• All water bottles need to have a closing lid and only contain water
• We will be enforcing the dress code in the handbook. Please review the guidelines.

• Students at EEI have been learning about the Yellowjacket Way
• Be RESPECTFUL, Be RESPONSIBLE, and Be READY
• All students have been learning the expectations of the building in all areas on our campus using the EEI Behavior Matrix
• Every positive behavior leads back to the Yellowjacket Way.

Please make sure that you follow the traffic flow to ensure that ALL students stay safe, and the lines move quickly.

• We close the gate at 9:30 a.m. and do not open it until 2:15 p.m. We do have an alarm set and will open it as soon as possible. This is a safety measure for our students.
• Leave space for buses to exit the pull through and stop far enough back (behind the mailbox on the right) so bus drivers can exit onto Sawmill
• In the morning, you will not be able to turn left onto Sawmill from 7:30 a.m. - 8:00 a.m.
• Have your tag available and in full view so we can keep the line moving

Immunization Reminder

Letters have been sent home to students that are missing immunizations. These immunizations should be obtained by October 1st. Jacket Health and Wellness can provide these for students if needed by appointments only. On the letter there is a QR code that takes you to the website to make an appointment and fill out the enrollment paperwork. Please let me know if you have any questions.

Covid Protocol

As fall and winter approach so do all the germs that go with it. All students should attend school unless they test positive, have symptoms, or in the process of testing for Covid. When a student tests positive they should isolate for 5 days starting the day of the positive test. Students may return to school on day 6 with a mask and will wear it until day 11. Please let us know if your child tests positive.

OTC Medications

SSD policy states that over-the-counter medications (Tylenol, ibuprofen, Benadryl, etc.) cannot be given at school without a doctor's order. See page 165 of the student handbook. If you need the form sent home with your child, please let me know and I can provide it. As a reminder, students cannot carry medication on their person. All medications must be given to the nurse or administration by an adult.
