EJES News
October 11, 2019
Dear Families,
Starting this year, we begin each week with "Celebrate Monday" as a school. Our goal is to get our students excited about learning, discuss our kindness initiatives and maintain a focus on what being kind really means. Here at EJ Elementary, we are always trying to make learning a positive experience for all of our students. We really want to celebrate the amazing things our students are doing. Some of the ways we are recognizing efforts are by daily drawings, positive office referrals, monthly assemblies, and positive phone calls home. We are so proud of our EJ Red Devils!
We hope this newsletter serves as an information source for you and your family. We are hopeful you learn about all of the great activities and opportunities to give back that we have going on in our school and community. Some of these events include parent/teacher conferences, EJ Community Pool swim team, winter gear drive, EJ Pumpkin Festival and Co-op Mother/Son movie night...just to name a few.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
With Red Devil Pride,
Carla Vrondran

Cooler Weather Approaching
As the weather cools please be mindful that students go to the playground in the morning before school starts and also at lunch recess. Just a reminder to make sure your child(ren) are dressed for the weather so they are able to enjoy this time outside. This year we increased our lunch recess time to 25 minutes to allow our learners time to interact with their peers and play outside.
Morning Drop Off Reminder
Respectful, Responsible, Safe!
Dear EJ Families,
At this time last year, we asked you to complete a short anonymous School Climate Survey regarding East Jordan Elementary School. We are asking you to please take the time to do this again so we can compare results from last fall. This is part of an ongoing project to support Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports (PBIS). Families throughout the district are asked to complete one survey per adult. If you are unable to access the survey, you will have a chance to complete one at Parent-Teacher Conferences which will be held on Oct. 22nd and 24th.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to ask. We will share results once the survey window closes after Oct. 31st.
Thank you for your time!
We are EJ Proud!

They will be given time to put them on before the parade. Also, a reminder that no weapons or dangerous items may be sent to school as part of your child’s costume.
