Welcome to Our ECC Family!
June 22, 2021
Dear ECC Families,
Hello Everyone!!
The summer countdown to the beginning of school has begun. Thank you for allowing us to educate your child this upcoming year. Beginning August 22nd, you will receive the ECC Family Newsletter weekly on Sundays. For now, this update will provide you with important dates to look forward to and introduce you to some of our ECC faces.
Enjoy the rest of your summer and feel free to email if you have any questions! Our office will reopen on August 4th. You can also visit our website for additional information. All Family Newsletters are posted to the website after being sent to families.
With Excitement,
Dora Bechtel
Principal
IMPORTANT NOTE: Incoming Kindergarten Student Information Verification
All parents and guardians of incoming kindergarten students for the upcoming 2021-2022 school year will be asked to review and verify individual student information for their new kindergartener. This review and verification process will take place in early August through the district’s online Returning Student Registration process.
Requiring each kindergarten family to carefully review and verify the information we have in our system ensures that all contact and health information is current and correct as we begin the new school year. Additionally, the review and verification process ensures that kindergarten families have completed all current forms - including any new forms that may have been added to the system since initial kindergarten registration took place this past winter.
The process is quick and simple. Please plan to watch for an email to be sent on Monday, August 2nd with the online link and further instructions on how to access and complete the Returning Student Registration review and verification process. Thank you in advance for being on the lookout for this important email and for taking action to complete the process as soon as possible once you have received it. All Bulldog students - including all kindergarten students - will need to have their information reviewed and verified BEFORE THE SCHOOL YEAR BEGINS ON AUGUST 25TH.
Note: If you already have a PowerSchool Parent Account, your new KG student(s) should already be linked into your existing account. If this is your first student(s) enrolled in the district, you will receive instructions shortly on how to complete the activation of your PowerSchool Parent Account. This Parent Account is needed to complete the verification process.
Please let us know if you have any questions.
