Hey this is Matt Scott, Principal at East Limestone!
I am so excited to be your Principal @ East Limestone and I am looking forward to our new school year.
For most of you, I was your Principal at Creekside and I am very thankful to continue our partnership in your child’s education at East Limestone.
Most weeks during the school year, I will send out a Sunday night phone call at 7:00 pm. In this message I will include: a short message from me or one of my assistant principals, East News, upcoming events, important dates to remember and school lunch info. I will send this through school messenger in a phone call and email and through remind as a text / email.
If you did not receive this in remind tonight you may have blocked remind or changed phone numbers.
