Where the Adventure Begins...
Happy Friday!
Dear Parents,
GUESS WHAT?!?! Our FUN RUN is TUESDAY NIGHT, October 25th! We are so excited about it! The weather should be perfect, Mr. Turkey will be there to warm up and run with your families, our favorite fireman and fire clowns will be there to cheer on the kids, and we will have booths set up inside the building with great info and give-aways for the kids! We will also have the book fair open for any shopping you'd like to do while you are here! This is always one of our favorite family events, so we hope you can all make it out!! Check out the fun video up above to hear more about it!!
ONE AND DONE! We kicked off our annual fundraiser this week and have gotten off to a great start! Thank you so much to those that have already turned in your donations. We are asking for each family to make a one time donation to our school. You can send in cash or check in whatever amount you feel led to donate. We will use all the money toward materials for our classrooms that students will use directly. This will help us purchase books, manipulatives, toys that support motor development and social skills, and other classroom resources that will maximize learning. This is our once a year fundraiser so please consider making a donation to support ECS!
For Kids,
Melissa Ellis

School Starts at 7:40!
Just a reminder to our morning session parents, school starts at 7:40 which means students should be in class by that time. In order to have your child in the building on time, please make sure you are in our car lines no later than 7:35. Cones will be put out at 7:40 sharp, which means you will have to park in front of the school and walk your child in at that time. It's always better to be a little early so our children aren't rushing in at the last minute. We also want to be sure we get a full 3 hours of instruction with our young learners to maximize their time with us. Thank you for your efforts in scooting up your morning routines by 5-10 minutes to support your child's progress! We certainly appreciate it!
Cooler Weather!
We love the cooler weather as it affords us great teachable moments with your children to develop their independence in zipping, buttoning, and being responsible for taking care of their things! We hope you support us in those efforts.
This also means our students are coming with more gear! Please make sure your child has appropriate clothing for playing outside and that their name is in everything. Also, make sure the change of clothes you send for your child is appropriate for the weather. I know many send an outfit at the beginning of the year to stay here, so you may need to switch that out soon.
I want to hear from YOU!
Hey ECS Parents! I've created a new forum called The ECS Parent Place! As your child's principal, I want to make sure I keep open lines of communication with all of you! I'm hoping this will turn into a great forum where you can post questions, feedback, and praise so that I can stay better connected with you and your perspectives. I look forward to hearing from you! Just click this link and then look for the hot pink circle with the plus sign. Click on that and you're on your way! I'll keep an eye out so I can respond to your posts. We've had two posts so far this year! Thanks!
