📚 Sight Word Set Creation for Teachers
We need volunteers to help create Sight Word Sets for all classrooms! This is a great way to support early literacy and ensure every student has the tools they need to succeed. Volunteers will assist with preparing and organizing sets for each grade level. Supplies will be provided, and we welcome any creative ideas! ✂️📖

We’re excited to announce that the upcoming Book Fair is just around the corner, and we’d love for parents to volunteer! This is a wonderful opportunity to get involved, support our students, and help make the Book Fair a great success. If you're interested, please reach out for more details on how to participate. We appreciate your support and look forward to a fantastic event!📚

Dear Parents,

In our ongoing effort to promote healthier eating habits, we kindly ask that you limit unhealthy snack choices in your child's lunch. Specifically, family-sized chip bags and similar snacks will not be allowed. 🚫

Research shows that a nutritious diet plays a vital role in children's overall health, well-being, and academic performance. Unhealthy snacks can lead to issues such as decreased focus, energy levels, and long-term health risks. 📉 By providing healthier options, we can support our students in achieving their best both in and out of the classroom. 📚✨

We encourage you to opt for health-smart snack choices like fresh fruits 🍎, vegetables 🥕, yogurt, or whole-grain options.

Regular attendance is key to your child's academic success. Missing school means missing important lessons and interactions.

EVERY DAY COUNTS!

To ensure absences are excused, please provide a doctor's note for any missed days. This is a new requirement for the 2024-2025 school year. If student is absent parent must send an email to moye_notes@episd.org

Your support in maintaining consistent attendance helps keep your child on track and thriving.

Our weekly goal is 97%!

We can do it!

🎉 Exciting News! Ms. Carmona, one of our fifth grade teachers, is working hard to get our PTA back up and running, and we need your help to make it a success! By becoming a member, you can enhance our students' experiences and provide valuable resources for both students and teachers. 🏫💪

Our goal is to have 100% of parents signed up. Your participation is essential to starting our PTA and supporting our students! Let’s work together to make a difference! 💪🎉
