This week Ernie Pyle staff and students had the amazing opportunity to see our student's stories come to life. Congratulations to all of our students who entered the contest and a HUGE well done to our playwrights who saw their words come to life. At Ernie Pyle, learning is full of fun and excitement!

Our 6th-grade students had the opportunity to visit the middle school and have a personal visit with the counselor. They are so excited about what the future brings.

Tuesday, February 21, we will be having our next ELAC meeting. This meeting is open to all parents.

If we were to have an emergency on campus that would require students to not return to the classrooms, our student pick-up area would be in the back of the school on McNab. The two gates at the corners of the field would be used for parents to come based on the letter that their last name begins with. Last names with A-L would be at the gate closest to the staff driveway and students with a last name that begins with M-Z would be dismissed from the gate closest to Rosecrans. Parents or guardians would need to bring their ID and be one of the designated people allowed to pick up the student from school based on what was completed and included during the data confirmation process. If you need to add or change this please contact the school office. We would communicate this through our automated calling and email system as well. If we were to have an emergency where students needed to evacuate the campus our pick-up area would be Bellflower High School.
