BOOK NOOK
Students began borrowing books this week. Please make sure water bottles are either empty or put in a separate area of the backpack than library books and Chromebooks. We had a few water bottle floods last year that ended in ruined materials. We appreciate your help in preventing accidents!
RR starts next week. These are books students read and then take a comprehension test on the computer. Correct answers earn points. As students reach their point goals set by the teacher, they get a token for a book from the vending machine. Each quarter there are also group incentives for those who have worked hard to reach their goals.
Happy Reading!

Recess Games
We are onto week 2 of our recess unit! This week, students learned how to use the circle of choice at recess and learned how to play 4-square. They also started doing their fitness testing. This year they will do a sprint test and a trunk lift test.
Please make sure that your child has PE shoes when they come to class. Crocs, Hey Dudes, sandals, and boots pose a safety issue and mark up the gym floor.
Have a great weekend!

The EPS Transportation department has a great responsibility for ensuring the safety of children. Last minute changes to a student’s transportation schedule increases the chance that a child may not end up going to the proper and intended location. Last minute changes are highly discouraged!
Any change to a child’s normal dismissal routine adds a great deal of responsibility to the office staff, teachers, and drivers and result in unnecessary interruptions to classroom instruction. Please send a note to your child’s teacher AND call the school office AND call transportation before 2:00 p.m. when a change is necessary. Change requests made after 2:00 p.m. will not be honored. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
