Dear EECV Families,

As we continue through the school year we have many fun and engaging activities planned. This month's curricular theme is Nature All Around Us. Throughout the month, our students will be engaged and learning about how nature impacts our lives.

Our students will be be learning through hands on experiences with these ideas in mind:

• How Do Plants Grow?: I can plant a seed and watch how it grows.
• What's in the Sky?: I see how the sky is different during the day and at night.
• Our Weather: The weather affects what I wear and do each day.
• The Seasons: I notice how the seasons change.

In the latest edition of The Pioneer Press, Superintendent Ann Schloss provided information on EECV's move to the soon-to-be renovated, former Crestwood Elementary. This building just down Griswold from our current building will be the new home of Elyria Early Childhood Village beginning in the Fall of 2022. This space will be beautifully renovated for our preschoolers. We are very excited!

Thank you for your continued support! If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at any time.

Sincerely,

Jackie Plantner, Principal

The Main Office of any school building is a hub of activity. Students and staff are always on the go, in and out of the space throughout the school day.

It’s an active place for regular check-ins and meetings with students, as well as staff conferences and daily interactions with school principals and counselors. The Main Office is also a confidential space at times for conversations and interactions between school personnel and students.

Parents and caregivers are part of the equation, too. For any number of reasons, parents may be asked to come to their child’s school during the day. When that happens, parents should follow the district’s visitor procedures by using the school’s main entrance buzzer and intercom system to gain entrance to the school, and then signing in at the front desk.

If parents/caregivers do not have a meeting at the school but still need to come to the school during the day to see their child or to speak to a staff member, call-ahead notice or an appointment is required.

This ensures parents will be seen in a timely manner and upholds the safety practices of the school.

To contact the Main Office, please call 440-284-8250.
