Happy Homecoming Week EJES Families!

It has been a great week celebrating our Red Devils! We have loved seeing all of the creative spirit wear this week and loved seeing everyone at last night's Community Pep Rally! Cannot wait to see all of you at our Homecoming Game tomorrow night! Go EJ!

Next week we will be gearing up for Parent/Teacher Conferences on Tuesday, October 15th and Thursday, October 17th! If you have not signed up for a conference, please see the link below to sign-up! We look forward to seeing all of you!

Thank you for all you do to support your children here at EJES! We truly appreciate your partnership!

Sincerely,

Lindsay Rogers

It is that time again for the annual School Climate Survey for Families! This electronic survey takes less than 10 minutes to complete. The responses are 100% anonymous and are very helpful in improving student relationships, learning conditions, and the overall school environment at EJES and EJMHS. EACH building has a survey and questions specific to EACH building. If you have children in both, please participate in both.

To participate, the window is now open through Nov. 8, and once again, it is 100% anonymous. We will have Chromebooks and students or staff available to assist families to complete the survey during P/T conferences in the front lobby on Garfield St next week on Oct. 15 and 17. Each primary caregiver may complete the survey and be entered into a prize raffle. Just stop by the table to enter the drawing! Thank you for your help!"

October is National Farm to School Month, a time to celebrate connections happening all over the country between schools, food and local farmers! Farm to school enriches the connection communities have with fresh, nourishing food and local food producers by enhancing food purchasing and education practices at schools and early care and education sites. Fresh, locally sourced meals nourish our bodies while also presenting a more sustainable option for our planet. This October, we’re celebrating farm to school with opportunities to try new and local food, special lessons, and lots of fun activities!

Learn more about farm to school and find ways to get involved by visiting the National Farm to School Network’s website at farmtoschoolmonth.org.

Conferences are being held on October 15 and 17 from 3:30-7:30pm. We will once again be using Schoolbookings.net to schedule conference appointments. This online sign up is quick and easy. You can sign up using a computer or smart phone.

• Parents of Kindergarten – 5th grade students should sign up for an appointment with their child’s homeroom teacher. Each conference will be 15 minutes and will be held in the teacher’s classrooms. Phone conferences are also an option if you cannot meet in person.
• Parents of 6th grade students can sign up for up to 3 conferences, one with each of their child’s core class teachers, for 5 minutes each. These conferences will be held by phone.
• Music, Art, Physical Education, STEM, Elective, Special Education and Title I teachers are also available during conferences. If you would like to meet with any of these teachers please schedule an appointment in addition to your child’s core classroom teachers.
