BOOK NOOK
Welcome back!
Students have been able to visit the library for class. We went over the rules in the library and played a game of Would You Rather. Students will begin checking out books next week. We’ll learn how Eddies are Responsible with their library books. Please help your child find a safe place at home to put their books where they won’t accidentally get damaged. Dogs especially seem to have a fondness for books!
Happy Reading!

Welcome back!
This week, students learned about expectations and procedures for class. The first unit we will start will be going over games played at recess so they feel confident when they are playing independently with friends. We will also begin fitness testing to see where they are at currently.
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!

Information for Car Riders
Each day we have 100+ students transported to school as cars riders. Traffic is backed up down Brady Road on a daily basis. Parents who drive or carpool please remember to:
· Use only the circle drive—do not pull into the bus lot. Car and bus traffic are separated for student safety.
· Make sure your car tag is clearly visible and that your child knows the number.
· Pull all the way up along the circle drive so that the drop off / pick-up area is maximized and help minimize backup on Avenue C and Brady Road.
· Respect our neighbors—please do not block driveways/mailboxes on Avenue C.
· Ensure your child is ready to enter and exit your vehicle – curb side only - quickly and safely. We plan for 8 students/cars at a time in the circle drive - please do not stop twice in the drop off area.
· Exit the circle drive– right turn only.
· Be patient—please do not pull around /cut off other vehicles or drive through the yard! This creates a very dangerous situation.
· Share these procedures with family and friends who may be transporting you child.
Please remember: - the minute or two saved by ignoring these safety procedures could result in an injury to a child that could take months for recovery. Please Be Patient!
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Circle Drive Schedule

Dismissal

Transportation
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.
