Hello Tribe Families!
Thank you so much for those of you who provided feedback on the Family Compact! Here is our final version for this year.
Please take a moment to fill out the volunteer application. You MUST fill this out to chaperone field trips too. If you go ahead and fill it out now, you are set to go for the year!
Ecoff Elementary School is excited to announce that we will be having a Book Character
Dress Up Day on Thursday October 31, 2019. On that day, each student may come to school dressed up as a character from their favorite book. The character must be from a book (no ninjas, superheroes, witches, masks or costumes with weapons). Your child should also be prepared to discuss both the character and the book. Please work with your child to plan a simple costume and be on the lookout for a form coming home. Your child may also bring a copy of the book to class that day.
The Ecoff PTA is hosting a Family Game Night on Tuesday, October 22nd from 4:00pm to 7:00pm in the cafeteria. There will be a variety of games, some provided by our community partner Mathnasium, and non-candy treats. The Book Fair will be open in the Ecoff Empowerment Zone (across from the cafeteria), so please come out and enjoy all that Ecoff has to offer!
This year, we are really celebrating Tribe PRIDE at Ecoff. We are asking and acknowledging when students show Positivity Respect Integrity Determination and Empathy. We recently celebrated the students at school that were recognized for showing Positivity in the month of September. As we continue on, we will be inviting parents to join us in the celebrations. If your child is chosen by his/her teacher to be celebrated for continually demonstrating the PRIDE characteristic of the "month," you will receive an invitation to come celebrate with a special breakfast with us.
Additionally, this year, we will be celebrating those students in grades 2-5 that earn Honor Roll at the end of each 9 weeks. It will not be a formal ceremony, but a fun time together with a different theme each time! We will send out more information as we get closer and would love for you to come celebrate with your child if you're available! However, we will have an Honor Roll Ceremony at the end of the year for students in Grades 2-5 that have earned Honor Roll for the entire year.
