Thank you so much for a successful first week of school. It was great having all of our students back in the building! I'm sorry for the large amount of information in this week's newsletter, but provided bold headers, so you can read any parts that are relevant for your family!
Links Above
Please check out the links above. You can order a yearbook for your child or report an absence. If you do not report the reason for your child's absence, it will be marked as "unexcused", so please take a moment to share with us why your child wasn't in school.
Transportation
Thank you for your patience with transportation this week. On Friday, all buses left Ecoff by 4:12 pm! The department of transportation will be communicating with parents about any late buses in the morning and please look for an email from me if there are any buses leaving Ecoff late (4:30 or after) in the afternoon. At this time, emails will go to all families until bus rosters are solidified.
Back-to-School Night
This week, we welcome you back on Thursday for Back-to-School Night on Thursday, September 12th:
K, 1, and 2 will be 5:30 - 6:00
K, 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5 will present 6:30 - 7:00
3, 4, 5 will present 7:15 - 7:45
We ask that if you are a parent of only K, 1st, or 2nd grader, that you attend the first session to help with parking and if you are the parent of only a 3rd, 4th, or 5th grader, that you attend the last session when more parking has been freed. Thank you for your consideration.

Gifted Testing Referrals
CCPS provides gifted education services to eligible students. In order for a student to be evaluated for eligibility, additional areas of strength, and/or CBG Academy admission, a GiftedProgram Services Referral and Review Form must be submitted to start the process. These forms may be completed by parents/guardians, community members, teachers, or students and are available throughout the year during normal operating hours from counseling or main office staff. Verbal or email communications do not serve as a substitute for this form.
Signed and dated referral forms must be submitted to the student’s school by the end of the school day on the referral deadline date to be considered for assessment during the testing window for that grade level. If any of these dates falls on a weekend, school holiday/break, or snow day, the deadline is the end of the next school day in which school is in session.
Referral deadlines are as follows:
October 15 - students currently in grade 5
December 15 - students currently in grades 2-4
March 15 - students currently in KG or grade 1
Sincerely,
Kristin Tait
Proud Principal

Track Your Child's Bus
You can monitor your child's bus location by downloading the "Versatrans My Stop" app onto your phone. Your username is your child's student ID number which is how they log on to the computer or purchase lunch. You can also find it in ParentVue. The password is your child's birthday. It will need two digits for the month, day, and four for the year. For example, if your child's birthday is January 3, 2012 you would type 01032012 for the password.Ecoff Elementary
