Winter finally made its landing in Tulsa! We spent time inside this week, grateful for our warm gym where we could run and play. Classes were busy learning all about the winter weather and the Feast of the Epiphany. Deacon Dean Wersal stopped by the school for a special Epiphany blessing in each classroom.

Re-enrollment begins on Monday. You will receive an email with directions for re-enrolling at ECDC for 22-23. If you have questions, please let the office know.

If you are returning to ECDC in 22-23 and would like to change the days your child attends, you will have the opportunity to make that request beginning next week. On Monday you will receive an email with directions for making the request. If no request is made, your child will be enrolled the same days/week they currently attend.
