This week's news:

We had a great Fire Drill this week. The weather has been nicer to get outside for recess. Please be sure that anything your child brings in to play with at recess should be labeled. Thanks to the PTO we have balls, jump ropes, bubbles and chalk to use at recess as well.

Please be sure you have filled out the parent survey-link below

Sign up for a parent information night-link below

Have a great weekend--Mrs. Weber

Old News-

• Please be sure your child is in school appropriate footwear-crocs are super cute but not practical for the playground.

• Spirit days are fun ways to unite as a school. They are optional and if you do not want your child to participate, that is completely fine. The schedule for the year is attached below

• Just a reminder that any medications must be brought to ESS by an adult. Students are not allowed to have medications in their backpacks at any time
• If your child is arriving in the morning after the doors are closed, please do not just drop your child and drive away. Please walk your child to the front door and ring the bell and we will escort them to their classroom

• As stated in the rules/expectations that were sent out and are also linked below please remember that

  • Student cell phones and smart watches must remain in backpacks in the off position during the school day. Students are not allowed to use these devices while at school. If your child contacts you during the day, please call the office instead of responding.
  • Be sure to label all student items including jackets, sweatshirts, water bottles and lunch boxes. We have an overflowing lost and found collection each year. Anything left at the end of the year will be donated
• We have designated visitor parking in front of the school. Please use those spaces when you come to school. Parking is not allowed at any time in the fire lanes or in front of the school after 3:00 when buses begin to arrive .

Save the date and come back to school. Our evening is for parents only-NO CHILDREN.

You will hear about ESS, the new report cards and all the exciting things happening in your child's classroom. Community partners will be set up in the gym with hand outs. WE hope to see you then.

Starting on September 25th and running through November 22nd, we are holding our first online Titlewish fundraiser of the year. Please know that 100% of the money we raise will go directly to purchasing new materials for our school library.

We’re asking you to participate and help us raise $1,000. To help us meet our goal, please visit https://www.titlewish.com/1095299. The site goes live on Monday, September 25th.

Thank you for helping us provide Elizabeth Shelton School students with the best education possible! It is a great way to honor your child for their birthday or any special occasion, or just because you want to help! Your child will have their name placed in a new book in honor of your donation.

Thank you!
