A Note from Mrs. Palmer
It's winter in the valley and that means RCPS and other school systems will have Snow Days. There is no expectation that students complete school work at home on a snow day unless the county makes it a virtual learning day (yet to be decided). You can always have students read their favorite book and work on additon/subtraction/mulitplication(grades 3-5). Reach out to your child's teacher if you are in need of ideas or activities for your child to do on a snow day. I hope they will have time to go out and play in the snow.
If you are planning a vacation during the school year, let the office know by calling the school prior to the vacation. Contacting the teacher is fine, but Admin. needs to know as well.
Thank you for your communication concerning any health issues with your family during this pandemic. Continue to inform the administration and/or the nurse of any Covid exposures, postive tests, or if you are or child are experiencing any covid type symptoms.
Look for the county's new Covid policy based on the new CDC guidelines. Information coming out from Dr. Scheikl.
Our PTO is up and running, but we need YOU. Contact Stephanie Reid (snreid87@gmail.com) or Johanna Klein (jklein@rockingham.k12.va.us) to see how you can get involved.
Thanks to those who donated cookies for the Cookies with Santa event before the break. It was lots of fun for the students.
The Parent/Student Handbook is found at the link below. It contains lots of information. I encourage you to read through it. Call the school before 8:45, if your child will be absent from school. (298-1511)
Call the school by 8:45 AM if your child is feeling ill and will be absent from school. Let us know of any Covid exposures or potential exposures. Safety is a priority at EES.
I wish you well,
Barbara Palmer, Principal
