- Please send healthy snacks or full lunch in your child lunch box if they don't eat the cafeteria food.
- Keep practicing tying their shoes and send them with tennis shoes, we want to make sure they are prepared and safe.

What is EIP?
The Early Intervention Program (EIP) is one of Georgia's educational reform initiatives to improve student learning and academic success. The primary goal of this program is to offer immediate assistance and additional instruction to help students succeed academically in the areas of reading and mathematics. A student's EIP status is determined on a number of factors depending on what grade the student is entering.
Learners who qualify as EIP will receive a letter home in the next few weeks. Parents should read the letter, sign, and return it to school indicating that they are aware of their child's EIP status.
For more information please us the QR code to visit www.gadoe.org.
How can I help my child succeed in reading if I do not speak English?
- Read to/with your child (20 minutes) minimum at home (even if in their home language).
- Borrow bilingual or English books from your local library.
- Purchase bilingual or English books at the Book Fair (information will be sent home when Park Street has a Book Fair!)
- If you need additional resources for your child, please contact their homeroom teacher or ESOL teacher.
