El Dorado Community Connection

#ToroFamily
Happy Monday Everyone! We hope you all had a great weekend and managed to navigate some crazy weather on Sunday. We hope everyone stayed safe and we send out our thoughts and support to anyone affected by the wind and fires this weekend. As of now El Dorado is not slated to lose power at all this week. We will continue to monitor the air quality and adjust our outdoor activity accordingly. Should anything change, we will be in contact with all of our families via another newsletter and/or messages called home. Just a reminder this Sunday is the end of Daylight Savings which means we all set our clocks back 1 hour.
First Spirit Week of the Year! This week is our first Spirit Week of the year and we look forward to seeing as many of our students participate as possible. Please make sure all spirit day outfits are dress code and school appropriate.
For Halloween we hope you wear your costume but please remember that we do not allow any masks, weapons, blood, or excessive gore. Face paint must be kept to a minimum and costumes must not be a distraction to the learning environment (oversized, cumbersome, etc). Costumes must meet our dress code requirements.
Please see below for our other spirit days of the week.
Intradistrict Transfers: Please see the image below for information regarding the district transfer process for this year. The transfer window is open until November 15th.
Dine and Donate: Thank you to all of you who came out to Cinco de Mayo last week to support EDMS. Last month, in September, you all raised over $350 at Dairy Queen! Thank you #torofamily. Be on the lookout for our D&D in November!
