Where the Adventure Begins...
Welcome Back to the 2016-2017 School Year!!
Hello everyone and welcome! We are so excited for this school year. Our teachers are already beginning preparations for you and your children. The building has been way too quiet and we cannot wait to fill it with your sweet children!
I know you are all excited to find out who your child's teacher will be! We really want a chance to personally connect with you right from the start, so your child's teacher will be emailing or calling you sometime from August 15th-16th to introduce themselves to you. This will just be a quick hello as they will be making individual contact with all of their students!
You will get to meet your child's teacher in person on Wednesday, August 17th at our Meet the Teacher Night! It will begin at 5:30pm and end promptly at 6:30pm. So make sure to arrive early enough to allow time to introduce your child to their new teacher, drop off their school supplies, take a look around the school, and purchase our new spirit shirt if you'd like! This is always a fun night to get ready for that first day of school!!
Often times parents would like to walk their child to class on the first day of school. That is such a special experience we want you to be able to do that if you would like! This does mean that receiving students and parking may take longer than a typical school day. We appreciate your patience as all our families get used to the new routines! After the first day, we will receive your child either directly off the bus or straight out of your car. For arrival and dismissal we always have one adult for every 1-2 children so they are always in someone's hand. Our biggest priority is to make sure the are coming and going safely. We want you to feel completely comfortable when your child is in our care.
Your child will also come home on the first day with a packet full of great information!! Be sure you look through all of it and return any necessary paperwork to your child's teacher. If you have any questions, feel free to email your child's teacher at any time.
While I have loved the extra time I have gotten with my daughters and granddaughter, I have missed coming to work every day to be with your children. I look forward to welcoming back all of our returning students and can't wait to begin meeting all of our new families!
I hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer! We will see you very soon!
For Kids,

I want to hear from YOU!
Hey ECS Parents! I've created a new forum called The ECS Parent Place! As your child's principal, I want to make sure I keep open lines of communication with all of you! I'm hoping this will turn into a great forum where you can post questions, feedback, and praise so that I can stay better connected with you and your perspectives. I look forward to hearing from you! Just click this link and then look for the hot pink circle with the plus sign. Click on that and you're on your way! I'll keep an eye out so I can respond to your posts.
