Eads Elementary Newsletter January 24, 2022
Our mission is to help students demonstrate academic growth and social responsibility in a supportive and intellectually challenging learning environment.
New Faces at Eads
Welcome to Taylor Jones. Mrs. Jones took over for Mrs. Florek at the beginning of the semester. She is a Valpo U. graduate. We are lucky to have her at Eads.
On Monday, January 31st our new secretary will join the office staff. Nancy Santiago is coming to us from another school system. We look forward to welcoming her on Monday
COVID Information
We are pleased to have you all in school!
Yes, we have sent several students home due to COVID positive results this week, but mostly we are doing well.
The district is providing an updated flow chart to help us make decisions. Our nurses follow these protocols every day. Please refer to the Close Contact Protocol and Illness Reporting Protocol flow charts provided here, and thank you for understanding during these trying times.
Munster Library Read-a-thon
Just as a reminder, this fundraising program is held to help raise funds for each school to get new library books as well as for the public library to get funds for new books and material.
The major difference between this year and years past is the ability to register for the program and submit donations online.
Here is a link to our Read-a-Thon page: https://www.lcplin.org/readathon
Students may pick up a physical envelope at the library if they need it.

Snow Fun at Recess
When temperatures cooperate and snow is on the ground, a snow zone will be available to students who wish to play in the snow. Outdoor recess occurs when the actual temperature is above 20 degrees and the wind chill is above 10 degrees. To have access to the snow zone, students must have all of the following items:
Snow pants
Snow boots (water resistant)
Snow gloves and hat
Since the snow zone is an optional activity, it is not required that all students have all of the above items. The black top area will be plowed for outdoor recess in the winter.
