HANDBOOK REMINDERS
CHARACTER EDUCATION: “The Core of Education and Life”
The
purpose of the “Word of the Month”
at ![]()
October
Word of the Month: Respect valuing
and treating others with kindness, no name calling, no teasing
Important
Reminder:
Do not forget to send notes to the school
office if your child(ren)
is/are changing his/her after school schedule.
If we DO NOT have written
verification of the change, we will send your child home on his /her regular
bus or to the usual after school location for that day; home, to a daycare
location, to a scout meeting location, etc.
By following this practice, the school office can insure that each
student is being sent to a “safe” location and you will know where to pick up
your son/daughter.
EWS COUNCIL ELECTION
RESULTS: Our new parent members to the EWSCouncil, each elected for two year terms, are Michelle
