ETES WEEKLY DIGITAL COMMUNICATION

May is right around the corner!

Wow! With warmer temps approaching, the school year only has a few short weeks left. It is hard to believe that we are almost through yet another wonderful year. The end of the year becomes full of outdoor activities, celebrations, field trips, and field days. We have so much left to look forward to. Please be sure to review the May calendar which is attached to this week’s newsletter! Please be advised that some of our Friday, Spirit Days have been changed from last week’s newsletter. We apologize for any inconvenience to your planning!

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
