Welcome to September! We have a busy month here at EES so I will just get down to business.
The first major thing to talk about will be our IT Factor session 1. All enrollment paper work will need to be returned no later than Tuesday, Septemeber 3rd. I need to make the class lists for each session and get transportation information ready for Mr. Ramsey as well so no late enrollments will be accepted. The first session will begin on September 17th and run through October 10th.
The next major topic would be our Grandparent's Day Celebration. Grands and special people like them are so much of an important influence in our lives that we want to honor them on Friday, September 6th. We will hold a come and go celebration from 12:45-2:45 on that date. We have asked for cookie donations so all of our special people can enjoy a treat. If your child would like to bring a store bought package that would be awesome. Check our Facebook page for even more information.
Our next item would be something that I want to call Independence Day. Independence Day is designed to be a way to help our littlest learners acclimate to being at school. What I would ask is that parents begin to slowly pull back when dropping our Pre-K and K students off at school. Bringing them into the cafeteria and the building has been a great help to start the year but it is not sustainable moving forward. Beginning Monday, September 9th, we would ask that all parents drop students off or walk them to the outer doors by the main office at drop off time. If you would like to schedule breakfast with them or pay for lunches or have another issue please come on in and be welcomed. If you proceed past the front office area you will need to sign in and get a badge for identification purposes. Badges are something we need to teach all of our students to look for to help identify those who belong in the building and are safe. Thank you for helping keep our kids safe.
The next item is our Fall school pictures. Packets will go out on Monday, September 9th. Picture days will be Tuesday and Wednesday, September 17th and 18th. I will post grade specific dates on Facebook and we will send home a note as well.
EHS has their homecoming game on Friday, September 13th. I am sure we will participate in some fashion as usual but I don't have the information as of yet. More will be revealed.
The rest of September calms down quite a bit. Hopefully we can get into a great stride and really kick it into high gear. Thank you for being such a huge part of our EES family. We are proud of our communities.
Here at Erie Elementary we love our students, families, and community supporters. We would like to welcome you to schedule a visit or even volunteer to share your knowledge and experience with us. It takes a village to educate a child and we would love to see our families and community members. If you have any questions or concerns please email or call.
