Important Announcements
Monthly Core Value: Compassion
Students are expected to follow our Core Values here at EBCA. December's Core Value is Compassion.
Compassion means we care about others, treat them with kindness, and feel a strong desire to help people in need. Take time to talk to your student about compassion. Below is a great read-aloud of Susan Verde's I Am Love book.
Attendance
We have seen an increase in tardies and that is unacceptable. We ask for your help to get your child to school on time. The flag salute on the blacktop is at 7:50 AM. One of the best lifelong habits you can teach your child is to be on time.
If you are late, it is hard to be great!
Don't Be Afraid to Be Great!
Classroom Celebrations Policy
Food or Balloons of any kind may not be dropped off at school for class birthday celebrations. The main reasons for this are healthy nutrition and we have several students with a variety of food and latex allergies that we must monitor.
We will limit classroom celebrations to that last 30 minutes of the day for the following days:
- October 31 - Halloween (when it falls during the week Monday-Friday)
- November 18 - Thanksgiving Break (last day before Thanksgiving break)
- December 16 - Winter Break (last day before winter break)
- February 14 - Valentine’s Day (when it falls during the week Monday-Friday)
- June 8 - last day of school
Keep in mind these are the only days allowed but grade levels will have the discretion to not participate if they feel it is a disruption to the learning process.
