        HANDBOOK REMINDERS

CHARACTER EDUCATION:  “The Core of Education and Life”

The purpose of the “Word of the Month” at Eames Way School is to develop a community of learners who become socially responsible and caring individuals.  This is a school-wide effort to create a caring community where character traits (word of the month) are modeled, taught, and continuously practiced in daily interactions.  Teachers take advantage of “teachable moments” within the curriculum to instruct and/or reinforce each character trait.    

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 DeStefano and Alex Mohr.  Congratulations to you both and thank you for your interest in and commitment to quality education at EWS.

BUS SAFETY GUIDELINES     

Eames Way School students are expected to:

·          Be at their bus stop on time.

·          Wait in line for the bus and not play in/near the street.

·          Wait for the bus to stop completely then, enter in single file using the hand rail.

·          Always find a seat quickly, stay seated and talk quietly with friends. 

·          NOT eat or drink on the bus for any reason!  More importantly, there are children who may have food allergies.  Exposure to certain foods such as peanuts or foods containing peanut products is very dangerous for some children.

·          Always listen to the bus driver.

·          Never put their head or arms out the window.

·          Know where the emergency exits are and not to play with the exit equipment.

·          Never throw things while on the bus.

·          Wait for the bus to stop completely before leaving their seat and then, get off in a single file.

·          Walk a safe distance away from the bus so the driver can see them.

·          Wait for the driver’s signal to cross in front of the bus and remember to look both ways and walk.
