Dear Families,
This week, we've been focusing on the importance of honesty. Students learned that even when it's difficult or they're worried about consequences, telling the truth is always the right choice. As the saying goes, "Honesty is the best policy!"
Book Options:
- The Berenstain Bears and the Truth by Stan and Jan Berenstain
- The Dog Who Cried “Woof!” by Bob Barkly
- Sarah’s Little Ghosts by Thierry Robberecht
- Sam Tells Stories by Thierry Robberecht
Owlfest, October 29, 3:30 - 5:00 p.m. - Make plans to accompany your child at our annual Owlfest. Students are encouraged to wear costumes and invite their friends.

October 31, Parent-Teacher Conferences: On Friday, October 31, we will be hosting our fall Parent-Teacher Conferences. Teachers will share your child's strengths, including academic achievements and social-emotional development. They will also discuss areas where your child is working to improve, such as specific academic skills and fine motor development. We value these days as it provides time for the partnership between school and home to grow. You can sign-up for a parent teacher conference via Sign Up Genius which is located on your child’s Seesaw account. *Please note: There will be NO SCHOOL for students on the designated Parent-Teacher Conference Days.
ECC Fall Showcases: We hope that you and your families are able to join us at our annual Fall Showcases. Our Music and Movement teachers, Coach C and Coach T, have been working diligently alongside our students to prepare for the shows. The shows take place in the ECC Big Room and last for about 20-30 minutes. Students are to wear their school uniforms.

After School Enrichment Programs - Phase Two After School Enrichment Programs Now Open! Registration is now open through your Parent Portal — spaces are limited!
