EEI geared up for testing last week with a pep rally! We reviewed the importance of the test, the criteria for earning raffle tickets for prizes, and a few test-taking strategies. Concluding the pep rally, teachers dressed up in inflatable costumes and raced. Congratulations to our track star, Ms. Mosqueda! Friday after school, teachers and staff decorated the hall with all the affirmations sent in by families. On Monday morning, students walked the halls reading all the positive messages to pep them up before testing. We had two successful days of testing this week, and we look forward to wrapping up testing next Monday and Tuesday. Thank you for the support and for partnering with us in your child's education!

Our Lost & Found has become a mountain. All items with names have been returned to their owners. There are hoodies, coats, lunch boxes, water bottles, and other articles of clothing with no names. Parents are welcome to stop by to look through the pile as long as you bring your ID to check in to the building.

We often get a number of flyers for summer camp opportunities for students. We will attach those as they come in. Please note that these are NOT affiliated with SSD or EEI and have NOT been vetted. This is also not a recommendation for attendance, just simply passing on information.

1. If your child has a Health condition that requires accommodations (food, bathroom, activity) please provide a doctor's note with those accommodations so we can put those accommodations into place. Our goal is to keep students healthy and safe while at school.
2. All medications must be dropped off and picked up by an adult. Students are not able to carry any medication on their person while at school. Prescriptions must have the student's name and directions on the bottle/box. Consent forms need to be completed before mediation can be given..
3. Please keep your child home if they have a fever of 100 or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, or develop an unknown rash. Students must be symptom-free for 24 hours without medication
