Below you will find some of the contents of these GO PACKs:
- Oatmeal
- Spaghetti
- Can of vegetables
- Applesauce Cup
- Packet of fruit snacks
- Packet of Goldfish
- Granola bar

We have made sure that our facility where these bags were packed was cleaned and disinfected. All volunteers involved in packing these wore gloves and were not COVID-19 symptomatic in any way at the time of packing.
Parents can pick up a GO PACK every week Wednesday – Friday through the end of May
Where: 7 Hills Church (6800 Hazel Ct. Florence, KY 41042). Follow the signs to the RED tent on campus. Families will pick up their GO PACK at the red tent
When: Wednesday – Friday from 12pm to 6pm through the end of May
*For us to best serve our community we are asking that families only request 1 box per 2 family members in their household.
It will be a drive-thru experience so parents will not need to get out of their car. Our volunteers will walk the packs out to their car with gloves on and will maintain appropriate distance. We appreciate everything you are doing to serve families during this time. Stay safe and well!
Best,
The 7 Hills Church Outreach Team
SPRING PICTURES AND CLASS COMPOSITES HAVE ARRIVED!!!
They are available for pickup beginning today, Friday April 24- Wednesday May 13, Monday-Friday (8am-4pm) If you do not come to get your pictures during this pickup window, then we will hold them for you till the start of next school year.
The pictures are in a labeled box in the vestibule. You will need to buzz in at the main office door and we will let you in. The pictures are in alphabetical order by FIRST NAME. If you have more than one child, Schoolhouse Photos has put them all in one envelope. You will look under your child’s name that comes first in the alphabet. (Example: if your children’s names are John, Abby and Kate. You would look under the A’s as in Abby, for your entire families photos.) If you ordered Spring photos and a Class Composite photo, these are paper clipped together.
If you have an issue with your photos, Please email brad@schoolhousephotos.com.

Last Day of School
Children Inc (Learning Grove) External Pre-K and K Program
Because of our growing student population, we will not have the space to host the Children, Inc (now Learning Grove) Preschool or extended Kindergarten programs in our building next year. We will still have our Boone County Preschool and our regular kindergarten classes. We have enjoyed a great relationship with Children Inc in the past, and we liked being able to provide that extra service to our families. However, we need the classrooms to meet the needs of our EES students. This will not impact the before or after school program provided by this organization.
Help us stay connected! #eesntiky
Chromebook Care At Home
Chromebook Procedures for Use
Chromebook General Precautions:
§ No food or drink should be next to Chromebook.
§ Make sure that all cords and cables are inserted/removed carefully and into appropriate port on the Chromebook.
§ Do not put heavy items on the Chromebook.
§ No stickers or similar items should be placed on the Chromebook.
§ Have a safe place to store/charge your Chromebook at the end of each day.
Carrying Chromebooks:
§ Always transport Chromebook with care.
§ Carry the Chromebook (cover closed) with two hands. Give it a HUG when carrying it!
§ Never lift a Chromebook by the screen.
§ Never carry a Chromebook with the screen open.
Opening the Chromebook:
§ Open the Chromebook when it is resting on a flat surface such as a desk or table
§ To open a Chromebook, use one hand to hold the keyboard against a desk/table. Use the other hand to open the screen by grasping the screen’s edge (in the middle) and gently move the screen to the open position.
§ The hinge of the screen will only allow the screen to be open to a slight angle.
§ Do not attempt to open the screen beyond this stopping point as the screen will break if forced.
§ Chromebooks have a 180-degree rotating camera. Please take care when rotating the camera. To avoid breaking the camera, do not over-rotate it or move it excessively.
Closing the Chromebook:
§ Before closing the screen, make sure there is nothing on the keyboard to prevent the full closure of the screen.
§ Close the screen only when the Chromebook is on a flat surface such as a desk or a table.
§ Close the screen gently with both hands – on at each corner of screen.
§ When you are finished using the Chromebook – log off the Chromebook by clicking your picture and SIGN OUT.
§ At the end of Chromebook use please SHUT DOWN the Chromebook by clicking in the bottom left corner.
*We are so happy that as a school we were able to send Chromebooks home with every child that needed one. That being said, we do not have unlimited technology to check out so it is very important that students are caring for devices properly. It costs our school greatly to get these devices fixed or replaced.
