A Message from our Librarian
Hello ETES Families! My name is Nicole Doliner, the librarian here at ETES. I have had a great year with your students so far and hope they've enjoyed having library this year! Just as a point of information, I send home notices about books that are overdue through their classroom teachers once a month. This does not mean that the books are lost or that there are any fines incurred, it's just a reminder to you (as well as your students) that these books belong to the library and should be returned in a timely manner. If there are any questions, comments, or concerns about the books or the overdue notices, please contact me directly at [email protected]. My philosophy is that every student gets a book each time they come down to the library. Building strong readers is the most important thing to me, and we can deal with lost or damaged books in a way that works best for all of us while still getting books into your students' hands.
I am also available to take donations of gently used children's books here in our library, so if your students have outgrown anything, please let me know! Again, contact me directly at [email protected] to set something up.
Thank you for all you do to support student success at ETES!
Nicole Doline

REMINDERS: Morning Drop Off and Afternoon Pick Up
Please remember that if you are dropping your students off in the morning, even if your student missed the bus, please use the parent pickup and drop off lines. We have noticed an influx of parents pulling into the parking lot and dropping off between buses. This is not a designated drop off zone. Please do not drop off students in the parking lot. You must use the drop off lane when arriving between 8:45 and 9am. If and when the gate closes, please be sure to pull up as far as you can to our main entrance. Please ensure that staff is available to escort your student into the building if arriving on time, otherwise you must escort your students into our building whenever dropping off after 9am.
We also ask that you take time to review our dismissal protocol as well. We expect that all parents picking up students at the end of the day, wait in our car pickup lane and your student will be dismissed to you in our designated pickup area. If you have made changes to your normal dismissal plan, please be sure to send this change in writing in a timely manner. This can be a handwritten note or email to your child’s teacher as well as the office. Please avoid dismissing your students between 2:50 and 3:00pm as this is the busiest time and is the time bus traffic begins on our campus. We want to ensure your safety and the safety of your child while entering and exiting the main entrance.
Warm regards,
Mrs. Nichols, Principal
Mrs. Dalessio, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Emard, Assistant Principal
