WI BUS DRIVER APPRECIATION WEEK
MASK RECOMMENDATION UPDATE
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
Just a few reminders about our new masking recommendations.
Please notify your child's teacher if you want your child to wear their mask throughout the school day. **Please note that Early Childhood and 4K students are still required to wear masks.
If your child rides the bus, masks are required on the bus.
Check emails as the status of masking may change week to week based upon our positivity rate.
Reach out to the school with any additional questions. Thank you for your continued support.

SORA ONLINE E-BOOK CHECK-OUT IS SOARING!
In the 2021 calendar year, Sora had over 1 million checkouts from the 200+ participating districts. Huge milestone! Franklin remained at the top with checkouts (and still is up there) with a whopping 42,024 checkouts last year. Thank you to the teachers who have helped to promote this! A special thanks to our ITL aides in our libraries for showing the students how to access the ebooks and magazines one on one, by class, small group, or just by walking down the hall talking to a student about ebooks. You are all wonderful and are helping the students to pursue their love of reading!
Here are the directions sheets for how to access materials in Sora:
ON-SITE TESTING
As we shared in the District Newsletter, we offer an On-site COVID-19 Testing center at the ECC District Office on weekdays from 7am to 5pm for students, staff, and family/household members of positive student or staff cases or anyone deemed a close contact. If you are contacted by our main office at the school that your child is symptomatic and needs to be picked up or released from school, you now have the opportunity between 7am to 5pm to take your child to the ECC District Office for COVID-19 testing.
Please review this document for other details and questions you may have about how this will work. Testing is another mitigation strategy to help us reduce the spread of COVID-19 in our schools.
K-5 SPRING CONCERT UPDATES - MARK AND ADJUST YOUR CALENDARS
Parents - we originally had some K-5 music events slotted on the calendar coming up at the end of January and the beginning of February. We have been reviewing our offerings for the music program and working with Saber Center availability to adjust these events. Moving into the spring, we will be offering concert events for grades 1, 3, and 5 at the Saber Center this year. By offering this event, we hope to present a larger scope for families so they can experience the progress and growth across the grade levels. Therefore, grades K, 2, and 4 will not have a spring concert event this year.
Please mark your calendars for the following event later this spring:
RW Monday, April 25 Grades 1, 3, 5 @ 6:30 pm at the Saber Center
