EPC Weekly Newsletter
Week of October 2nd
Week 8
Hello Families!
As we embark on Week 8, we are officially in October!!
We've wrapped up another strong week at school, and it's important to remind:
- 🍂 Only 5 school days to go until you and your scholar get to enjoy the well-deserved Fall Break!
- đź’Ş You've put in an incredible amount of hard work this school year, laying the foundation for continued growth and success in your child's education!
- 🌟 Remember, you make a positive impact on our child's life every single day!
In last week's newsletter, I talked about the approaching Fall Break and the anticipation it brings. It's perfectly natural to feel excited! However, sometimes this excitement can lead us to consider relaxing or lowering our standards. In our commitment to providing your child with the best possible education, rest assured our staff will hold true to our high expectations!
At home, we ask for the same. Hold that bar high with homework completion, reviewing Kickboard with your scholar, and reflecting on how they are doing with reaching the goals you set with them. Let's continue to deliver excellence in everything we do together.
Wishing you all a fantastic Break with your scholar(s), and let's make the most of these remaining school days before the break!
Placeholder Reminders:
To get "into the weeds" on what is happening in your scholar's grade level, please be sure to click on the respective grade level newsletters below!
On REPEAT: Sleep schedule--Your scholar's stamina to operate throughout the long school day is becoming stronger by the day! So they can be set up for continued success, please ensure they have (and stick to) a sleep schedule that provides them 9-10 hours of sleep each night!
As always, thank you for trusting us with your scholar to be the foundational entry point to a high-quality high school! I'm both privileged and proud to be on this journey with each and every one of you!
Let's make this week another GREAT one!
In Partnership,
Mr. Johnson
